Calzaghe because Ottkes win against Reid cant really be counted because Reid was robbed blind.

Ottke scored 6 KOs in his career, Calzaghe has scored more than 5 times that amount. Says it all really.

Ottke got to them first. If robberies don't count then you have to take away Calzaghe's win against Reid, which is considered the best of his career...

I havent seen a worse robbery, seriously, there should have been an investigation.

Joe could beat Robin with one arm behind his back

Thank you for letting us know you don't know a single thing about this sport...

Reid and Calzaghe was very close but Calzaghe just pipped it IMO. Reid against Ottke was a ****ing blatant robbery though so it's hardly comparable.
