Calzaghe once said Ottke wouldn't make it past 5 against him. Said Woodhall and Reid were tougher. One of the reasons Ottke-Calzaghe doesn't happen is cuz Calzaghe didn't want to fight in Germany.

Side-note: Calzaghe would go into Germany a couple of years later for a meaningless rematch against Mario Veit. A fighter he had previously stopped in 1
