    Well if they all fought in germany they would have no chance what so ever.
    I think Sven ottke is the p4p greatest of all time if he fights in his hometown.

    Andre Ward is very similar to Sven Ottke:

    feather-fisted
    afraid to fight away from home
    home refs help (protect Ottke, permit Ward to foul)
    defense-first and boring to watch

    We already have a prime Sven Ottke in today's SMW division.....his name is Lucian Bute.

    LOL. Only a **** would compare Ottke to Ward. Ward is better than Ottke in every way possible.

    I don't think Ottke would beat Froch, on neutral turf.

    I could see him getting a robbery similar to the Reid fight in Germany tbh.

    Also Ward did not beat Froch on neutral turf, he is American, he beat Froch in America.

    He would stay away from good fighters and would go to war against tomato cans from argentina, brazil and japan.

    If he would fight in Germany he'd still be undefeated. He wasn't easy to hit and had a good defense. That, plus the help of referee and the judges, there's no way he'd lose to anybody today.

    Why do so many here dislike Ward all they bring up is he does not fight in America. I swear people are acting like his fights were so close that him fighting in America was the difference in the decision he beat Ward, Froch, Abraham etc clear with no debate
