    Ottke would have beaten holyfield. he was a level below Ottke.

    Lennox Lewis is a more difficult fight to pick but he would have trouble with a prime Ottke hand speed.

    Tyson would of been a pick em fight

    I beat up 100 girls and now my record is 100-0. I am better than Calzaghe because I have more wins in my unbeaten record regardless of who I fought. I am unbeaten, that makes me great.
    Ottke and Calzaghe ? good comparison

            that is down to Joe's injuries, fighters ducking him and Warren not getting him the right fights imo.

              Ottke stayed in germany and lost fights but still won decisions. There is no comparison between Joe's resume and his. Joe actually beat the guys he faced.

                true, but nevertheless, his resume is lackluster, and he isnt an ATG, but he'll be a HOFer.

                    I'n not dis*****g where he will be placed in future years it's those posters that claim he fought nobodies for 10 years.

                    most of whom seem to be ignorant Americans who have no knowledge of Joe's career and circumstances.

                      for a while he did fight nobodies, but now that i think about it, every fighter has at one point fought nobodies, the man in my avatar, JCC, has loads of nobodies on his record, along with some greats.

                      joe had some great wins, like Eubank, Lacy, Hopkins, his best IMO being kessler.

                      but your right, there is an awful lot of hate on him, personally im not a huge fan of his, but now that i think about it, he's alright, and hasent really done anything to deserive all this hate.
