nope. he started juicing as a lhw.

 

wow. someone rated Sven cheat-a-lot over Calzaghe at one point. Severe hallucinogens must have been on that dudes prescription.
History is a funny thing in perspective. Thanks for the lists.

 

This was Ring Mag

I was wondering that myself ..How the hell could Sven Otteke have been rated over Joe :think

 

perhaps they hadnt yet noticed that Sven in reality lost his title to Glen Johnson just a few months previously.

Woah, Svens Wiki page must seriously be written by one of his fanboys or by Sven himself. Theres no fight record on it and it dont even mention that he really lost to Glen or even faced him!

Talk about revisionist writing.

You are not privy to any information that the rest of us are not and this is simply an unfounded guess from you. Try again, nuthugger.

 

I think you are on the wind up here. Comparasions of how hard they dominated? They all dominated, mate. End off.

 

the revisionist thinking is that glen beat ottke.

ottke got a few gifts but that was not one of them.
