I don't see Ottke getting knocked out, he is very cautious and so is Hopkins.
If there is one thing that Ottke can do well then that's not getting hit with clean punches.
Hopkins would probably 'outwork' him and would have some success going to the body. Ottke always keeps his gloves up like Winky Wright.
Oh wait a minute, he's in the same boat as Hopkins. Only problem is Hopkins wouldn't be dumb enough to try and coast through rounds against Ottke.Comment

Ottke always has a punchers chance. Remember how he demolished current WBA SMW champ Anthony Mundine with one short swift hook to the temple?
Kidding aside since this fights in America there'll be no gifts for Ottke. Ottke had a super defense rarely getting caught with clean shots.
Hopkins could be a sneaky counter-puncher with a good right hand. If he would be able to land it is another matter as Ottke rarely puts on meaningful attacks.
This fight looks like a sure distance-fight to me. Hopkins would win a decision, not wide, but he would win. The fight would be extremely dull.Comment

I forgot about Ottke's menacing power! His 5 KO's in 32 fights prove that he is the most feared man on the planet, even more feared than Antonio Margarito. Ottke strength rivals that of Big George Foreman, only Ottke has better technique.Comment
