Was not Ottke making a come back not too long ago ala' Henry Maske? I heard that it fell apart due to an almost total lack of interest on the public's part. Perhaps that, in some way answers the question.
you're a canadian clown whose favorite fighter must be glass-jaw Bute or punching bag pascal. go club baby seals for cheap and pathetic canadian entertainment.
Ottke got too many gift decisions. His career was tainted. Calzaghe was protected by Warren for too long. Too bad he didn't fight RJJ or BHop 5-10 years ago. JC clearly better than Ottke.
They're both pretty bad, especially considering Cal's position today. He never fought the best guys until they were worn out. And please don't spout a bunch of **** about RJJ not wanting to go to England. Why the hell should he? It was Joe's job to chase RJJ if he wanted to prove something, the US is where the competition is, it's where the money is, and he couldn't be bothered. For good reason. Prime RJJ makes Cal look ordinary. I like Cal, but let's get real here.
