    This man retired 34-0. Why is he not considered an all time great?




    So why doesn't Sven get any credit? I never hear his name being brought up around here. He was UNDEFEATED. As in never lost.

    He beat such big names as : Antonio Tarver, Chris Byrd, Michael Moorer, Anothony Mundine, Glen Johnson, and Byron Mitchell.

    I think this forum: especially our European brothers don't give Sven enough credit.

    I don't know but I guess beating Ottke would be greater than beating Hopkins. Because, B-Hop already lost and Ottke is undefeated.

        his resume is very similar to fellow all time great joe calzaghe so i'm puzzled. he actually fought glen johnson though unlike calzaghe who shamelessly ducked him many times. maybe sven had too much chest hair for people to handle?

              Ottke was scared *****less of the great Joe Calzaghe.

              Just like Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins and James Toney.

              Its nothing to be ashamed of really.
