Sven Ottke and The Reign of Error (Not Terror)

[TheEvilSaint]

reading this article makes me want to go to germany and murder ottke for all he HASNT done.

you are absolutely crazy, how the hell can you say that Calzaghe is the one traveling for this fight? you are absolutely insane sir. Lacy is the one willing to travel to Joe's side of the world to make this fight happen. I can't wait to hear your excuses when Lacy ko's Calzaghe

What do you mean excuses? Calzaghe was at his best in 1996, beating him now won't prove anything. As for the location, well I'm willing to bet all my points that the crowd will be against Calzaghe.

You can't say that. It would be like saying that Mike Tyson was at his best 1986, so the losses to Holyfield 10 years later don't mean anything.

Well absolutely, Tyson was obviously nowhere near his best in 1996. He was at his best in 1986-87.

Yeah but what I'm saying is that you can't take the victory away from Holyfield, just like you couldn't take the victory away from Lacy if he wins. Despite the fact that Joe is not at hs best, if Lacy wins, it still means something.

Well if Lacy wins, he'll soon get his ass handed to him by Froch, Kessler or Bute anyway.

I have heard Bute is a wrecking ball and I know Kessler can really fight but tell me about Froch. I've heard of him but never seen him fight, I heard that when he puts it all togehter he can be pretty good, but I also hear he has defensive lapses.

Do u know anythin about him?

I've never seen him fight, but I've nothing but terrible things about the decisions he's gotten.

I watched Frochy in the amateurs I know the level of the guys ability, I know that he can beat Calzaghe and Lacy. He had real good handspeed in the amateurs, but unfortunately he's started using weights and so his speed has vanished.. but I know the level of the guys ability and I know that it will take something big to beat him. He's always held his hands low, he's got a good sense of distance though so he's okay with it, he's the only British fighter to ever win a medal at the senior World Championships and even then he was robbed (and he did it with his hands by his waist and not taking training seriously).

Ive read negative posts about ottke before, but after reading the article im curious too see how bad he actually was. Think ill have to watch some of his fights and find out for myself :P
