Joe Calzaghe V Sven Ottke was a huge fight that never took place, both quite dominant super middleweights at exactly the same time. Both were protected through there careers, Calzaghe has bigger name victories, with his number one big-name win being Roy Jones Jr, being well over the hill at 39 years old, and his second-best win was over a still good but nowhere near prime Bernard Hopkins who was 43 years old. Ottke retired undefeated with 21 title defenses and a total of 34 fights. Calzaghe had 21 defenses and retired undefeated after 46 fights. who takes it in say 2002?
Calzaghe would have too much speed and workrate for Ottke. Ottke was defensively and technically very solid. He didn't deserve to get the decision in the first Brewer fight. He probably won the rematch but Calzaghe was more emphatic in his win.
