Joe Calzaghe seem to fight every obscure European fighter out there but never Sven Ottke. Like always there was always a reason why the fight wasn't made.
Calzaghe wanted to fight him 2 times and Ottke turned him down....calzaghe also wanted to travel to Germany to fight ottke but still got turn down. IMO ottke was/is the biggest joke ever.
