Why Didn't Calzaghe Ever Fight Sven Ottke?

[daggum]

Thats ridiculous!!!!!!!!!I understand if you hate Calzaghe as a person, but dont let your hate blind you bro!!! Calzaghe is one of a kind. You can say whatever about his resume this and that, but he is really great, I think the only guy who had a chance against him was a prime Jones besides that, nobody!!!!!!!!

why is he so great? 13 of his 21 title defenses were against people who were never even rated in the top 10 by ring magazine. take all roy jones fights at light heavy and only glen kelly was never in the top 10. one of a kind clown maybe. picking on old guys and barely beating them just cause you can throw a thousand missed punches is great?

Ottke is a fraud, he never wanted anything to do with Calzaghe. The fight would be completely one sided in Joe's favour.

Daggum you really need to drop this obsession you have with Calzaghe. Its not healthy.

calzaghe is a fraud, he never wanted anything to do with ottke. the fight would be completly one sided in sven's favor.

Robin Reid said he lost, everyone in the country said he lost including the commentators and if you had watched the fight you would know he lost aswell.

enzo said joe lost up until the 12th round against hopkins. everyone in the country said joe lost and if you had watched the fight you would konw he lost as well.

I did notice Id never seen Enzo so mad in the corner telling Joe you have to knock him out and cursing at his cornermen over the water bottle.

they shared 5 opponents.

Brewer: Ottke got beat by Brewer the first time everyone agrees but he got a robbery SD, might have won a close one the second time again a hometown SD... Calzaghe beat him by six clear rounds.

Pudwell: Ottke got a comfortable UD, Calzaghe KTFO in 2 rounds

Mitchell: Ottke got another Home town SD, Calzaghe KO in 2

Starie: Ottke tight UD one round the other way would have won it for Starie, Calzaghe won by 6-10 rounds.

Ried: Ottke got one of the most blatant robbery's of the last 20 years, Calzaghe got an SD that only 1 judge scored for Reid and was utterly discredited for doing so by Ried himself.

Your hate blinds you Daggum.

If memory serves the last poll on here had a majority saying Joe won.

joe was getting hit with a lot of flush shots that's why.

if only bernard threw more....... oh well......

Ottke-Reid was a very different fight than Calzaghe-Reid!

Ottke-Reid was very similar to Dawson-Johnson. Reid clearly won the late rounds and had Ottke hurt. If it would have gone another round, Ottke likely would have been KOed.

In Calzaghe-Reid, a very competitive fight, Joe was robbed of a deserved UD by the English judge who was favoring his home fighter Reid. The two American judges had the scoring right. Reid acknowledged after the fight that he lost. A video of the fight with the post-fight interviews is available in our videos section - Daggum, please watch it before commenting!
