Said he didn't want to get robbed. Why is that even a concern? The man won't make it past 5 against you? All of a sudden your worried about the judges?

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
are you saying ottke would have beaten calzaghi?

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
Two things a person can always count on in life. They will one day die. And two, Calzaghe will have some kind of excuse
A more factual answer to your point would be.They will die ,and two,Calzaghe never lost a pro fight in his life.FACT!
