    I get that his reign had some questionable calls that favored him and that towards the end he was a joke but is there ANY performance in his entire career that shows him at his best??I mean he had to have had some talent somewhere during his career.What would you say were the top 3 performances of Ottkes pro career??

    haha i don't know enough about ottke to seriously contribute much and i hate him as much as just about anyone BUT i can admit that he had some serious skills. his best known fights, unfortunately for him, are likely reid and mundine. reid destroyed him in the first half and mundine was green as **** and still gave him a ton of trouble at time. he was a good mover, had a solid understanding of distance and timing and had reasonably fast hands. never the most elite skills but very workman like and efficient and took a european amateur style and added some aspects of the american fight game to become a solid B level fighter. again though, can't point to many specific fights but there are plenty of here (and the euro forum) that could
