The Myth of Sven Ottke

[Sithis]

I dont think he was really bad. but the fact doesnt change that he got the decision many times when he clearly lost.

[johnm is...]

Mayweather has been very protected, never fighting outside the US for his title fights. He's had his home refs (Cortez) and judges (Floyd vs. Castillo I).

But we don't hear much about THAT...

Jesus Christ, bro. Ricky Hatton's father could have been the ref of that fight, Hatton was getting knocked the **** out. Stop with the Cortez nonsense already.

And if you're suggesting that Floyd vs. Castillo I was a robbery, then we'll end this conversation now.

[TheManchine]

When Ottke fights, it's like christmas in whatever month he fights in. The judges might as well have a santa beard and hat on.

i may sig that

[TheManchine]

Well, I'll pay you that's for sure, I have in mind The ***** from Snatch or Brad Pitt.

I think you could do smth cool with it. What do you say?

i`ll see what i can do,

give me a day or so,

its getting late so ill do it tomorrow morning

No worries man, how much do you charge per sig?

Ottke was a very successful amateur who made his style work in the pros.

I will give him credit for being a crafty defensive boxer but his lack of offense makes me doubt his chances against any of the greats on neutral grounds.

You should hate him though because he held up Calzaghe from unifying the titles. Just one of those situations when neither would come to the other one's home country to fight...


Tribute to the 'Slugger' Sven.

[squealpiggy]

He gets ridiculed a lot because he's been a unified title holder, but he's not black and American. In some peoples' minds, a boxer needs to be black and American or else he's not really any good!

That's the sad truth of it.

You really are an utter fruit aren't you?

We hear a ton about that, get a grip. Yeah there's a world conspiracy, African Americans make up the illuminati which is why they are all so damn wealthy and Wladimir Klitschko would hold every belt in every weight class if it wasn't for a sinister cadre of jive-talking pimps holding him back from his birthright.

For the record I think Cortez is fishy but it has nothing to do with black or white and everything to do with green.

Why do you always bring up "fruit" or "gay"? You seem to be obsessed with ****sexuality.

That's not what I said.

There is a belief in many people's minds that "black people are athletically superior and naturally better fighters". No conspiracy, just a silly notion similar to old ideas such as "white people are smarter" or "the world is flat".

And I agree with you about Cortez. It appeared to many people that he may have been paid to protect Mayweather against Hatton, and his behavior was strange in the Soto fight.
