He often had to fight through things like people cheating like Robin Reid hitting him with low blows and rabbit punches. He should have been disqualified!
what drugs are you on?
Robin Reid lost points for hitting ottke. The ref in that fight was a fucking discrace and the verdict was disgraceful.
As Reid said after the bout about the judges "At least Dick Turpin wore a mask when he robbed people"
Ottke was offered his biggest ever pay day and home advantage against Calzaghe and he chose not to accept it.
Calzaghe has never avoided anyone.
Calzaghe was offered a career high payday against Glen Johnson, he then hurt his hand and never went back to fight him after that.
I still have Calzaghe higher than Ottke on the all time SMW list though no doubt. The winner of Jones-Calzaghe will be the all time greatest at 168 IF they fight at 168 that is.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
