    You will meet no one that calls Ottke 'great'. No one worth their salt anyway.

    Who was Pudwill a replacement for?......the spritely for his very advanced age Thomas "Ice Tea" Tate...the irony of Pudwills chance is that he probably had more of a shot at victory than the man he replaced:lol:

    I just enjoy being sarcastic. If nothing else Ottke was 'great' at earning money.

    Only second in boxing behind the golden boy!!!

    Tate did a Steve Collins and retired rather than fight Joe.

    It's hard to comprehend how many fighters Calzaghe ruined.

    Eubank AND Collins :deal

    He cleaned out the whole of the 'golden era' in his first Championship fight.

    People just don't get it.

    That argument would hold some substance if Pudwill was actually replacing someone half decent.
