Was Sven Ottke good?

Regarding Calzaghe-Ottke: Why put the entire blame on Ottke? Why not Calzaghe who was the no. 2 guy? It's not like he was eager to fight abroad.

I don't hold Joe blameless, hence the "given up his WBOgus" comment. I hold Ottke more accountable though, as he refused to even mention Joe's name.

Why should he? He was the main man. Calzaghe should have been the stalker and he definetely didn't want none.

Do you want an objective discussion or are you just some die-hard Ottke man? Joe called him out and Frank Warren made Ottke an offer - what more do you want?

I am not an Ottke fan at all. I just put things into perspective. Joe didn't want to go to Germany even though Ottke was the no. 1 and that's a fact.

Kessler on the other hand agreed to travel to Joe's backyard after having pursued the fight for years. He even insisted on fighting Joe even though he broke his hand 3 weeks before the fight because he knew that Warren wouldn't agree to a postponement given the major difficulties he had landing the fight in the first place.

Come on Nelson you know if you fight Ottke you get screwed over by the judges.

Ottke was decent enough but he should have lost his zero.

Good fighter, false resume in the undefeated department.
