whose resume is better: calzaghe or ottke?

[Hydro]

as of right now, since it can get better for hoe since he still fights and sven is retired.

2 long reigning 168 lb. titlists

[Shanus]

Calzaghe, the way he beat his competition was alot better too.

[RAESAAD]

Well since from what I have read Ottke really lost about a handfull of fights it has to be Joe C.

Glen Johnson reputedly beat Ottke (haven't seen it) and I saw Robin Reid beat Ottke.

[!!! Beowulf !!!]

Ottke was a fraud.

[Shanus]

Charles Brewer won the first fight too apparently.

[Hydro]

sven apparently got more gifts than oscar and chavez combined.

Based on the resume alone, i'd say Ottke.
But the close or even severely questionable decissions for Ottke (particularly towards the end of his career) probably tips the scales in Calzaghe's favour.

Still i think there's a tendency to underrate Ottke's abilities when he was in his prime, because of his (perceived boring) style and the dubious decissions.

I'm not convinced a prime Calzaghe would have beaten a prime Ottke. (Calzaghe perhaps 60-40 favourite on neutral grounds).

Ottke would have been stopped by Calzaghe. Ottke depended on speed and defence, but Calzaghe is/was faster than Ottke and definately stronger. He had the workrate to make him quit really.
