I think it would of been a 50-50 fight. I know the current public perception is to knock Ottke. But really most that do really only seen youtube clips of him. But the man was not a bad fighter. Anybody that thinks he gets blown out by Calzaghe really doesn't know the sport.
Ottke was cute and crafty. It's easy to hate on him but he was effective.
Also, the 2nd Veit fight happened after supposedly Calzaghe was all out of options.
Lastly, whenever Joe speaks, it's always apparent that his logic isn't exactly linear. Much like his boxing style![]()

No way Ottke beats Joe on a neutral venue and judges. Joe beat better fighters and the fighters they had in common he beat them more convincingly. Joe does have himself to blame by not mixing with the best earlier in his career and causing the first loss for the Germain.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Like him or not Calzaghe finished his career at 46-0, something few Champions can lay a claim to. He did things his way, and I respect him for that, he made a shitload of money, retired with all his marbles, and can laugh at his critics all the way to the bank and IBHOF.
Good job Joe.![]()
Where in this thread have I said anything about, or criticized Ottke? I barely know who Ottke is, and as far as calling me a fucking hypocrite, go suck a big one you fucking moron.
Internet "bad-asses" like you are a dime a dozen, fucking kids trying to act tough.
