Better Defense? Ottke or Pep?

I think Ottke was alot more elusive and blinded his opponents with quick flurries so that they couldn't hit him back with accuracy.

Are there any Pep fans who think that Pep was a better defensive fighter than Ottke?

If there are then they are quite clearly blind to the truth. Ottke was a sublime fighter that won all of his fights clearly. He's a living legend, our generation's Rocky Marciano if you will. One of few fighters to retire undefeated and a world champion. Boxing is surely a poorer sport without him.

Hey man that was a good post. Do you think he should come out of retirement to fight Kevin Mcbride the "Tyson conquer man" or do you belive he should stay retire?

I honestly think that he can retire Wladimir,Vitali,Valuev and maybe Arce in one night without training camp

Punching Ottke was like trying to fight a ghost.. No matter what you did you couldn't hit him... And if by some miracle you did.. You would get told off by GOD for doing so..
Sven Ottke could take on anyone.. I dont even know why I bother watching boxing anymore..

Everybody's trying to take the "reverse psychology" effect in this thread.

I don't think that it's unjust to say that he's a very, very good fighter, however. He won fights on pure skill, something that the Foremans and such lacked. He was pure talent, though no skill.

Same thing with guys like Malignaggi. You gotta love the featherdustin' bastards.

That they succeed with such little power says alot about their pure boxing skill.

Better Defense? Ottke or Pep?
