Do americans also have so many perverted/necrophilia jokes about belgians?

mayweather's not even in the same stratosphere as ottke.

[Technical_Skill]

Both have good defensive skills and rely on counter punching.

Both have received gift decisions for fights they actually lost.

Mayweather vs Castillo 1
Ottke vs Reid

Personally I think Ottke gets the edge as he fought better fighters.

If i had to rate this thread on a scale of 1-10

How are you with Fractions?

Of course Mayweather has the best legacy. Like it or not Mayweather will be remembered for years to come. Ottke is barely remembered by anybody.

in America people know Mayweather more.... in the rest of the world people know and respect Ottke more....he fought better fighters.

That could be true, but from what I've heard from most people here is that his undefeated record was a joke. I mean if he was so good why didn't he fight Calzaghe. Plus I heard the Robin Reid fight was a robbery. I looked at his fighting resume and even though I admit I don't know all of the european fighters so well his only good win seemed to be against Glen Johnson.

Ottke had some home town decisions, then again so has Mayweather.
