One mad slapper and 20 immobile bums...

Ottke had some skills...shame his fight with JC never materialized.

The 1999/2000 Ottke was the best Ottke ever. Afterwards he deteriorated. All these fast hands and feet in this clip were gone by the time he fought Larsen and Reid. Even the Ottke who outpointed Mitchell was already a very much slowed-down version.Axe wrote:Ottke had some skills...shame his fight with JC never materialized.

He was pretty slick alright. With his frame, I believe he couldve fought as low as 160...most 168 lbers had a significant size advantage over Sven.pundit wrote:The 1999/2000 Ottke was the best Ottke ever.

A loss on his record could of killed his big draw in Germany.

Not in 2003 when Ottke was old and slow and there for the taking.Max Molyneux wrote:Ottke wanted none of Calzaghe.pundit wrote:One mad slapper and 20 immobile bums...
Before that, it was Calzaghe though who showed no interest. For a good reason...

Mc Hammer describes in can;t touch this how a Calzaghe Vs Ottke fight would result in.

Calzaghe would blast Ottke away within one round due to superior power, right?Max Molyneux wrote:Mc Hammer describes in can;t touch this how a Calzaghe Vs Ottke fight would result in.

yes, I am reminded that ottke still sucked back then.
If you can honestly look at that clip and tell me that's actual boxing technique, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Eubank's chin is harder than Ottke's.
Calzaghe would be like a fast and furious Ninja on Ottke.

My friend: it's the other way round.

The way people say he slaps is exagerated a little bit though.pundit wrote:Ah, Calzaghe is slapping because his hands are so fragile....Max Molyneux wrote:When Joe didn't break his hand too so much, he hit harder.pundit wrote: Calzaghe would blast Ottke away within one round due to superior power, right?

Relax, mate. Calzaghe is a fine super-middleweight, which holds independent of the fact that Ottke was a fine super-middleweight too.Max Molyneux wrote:The way people say he slaps is exagerated a little bit though.pundit wrote:Ah, Calzaghe is slapping because his hands are so fragile....Max Molyneux wrote: When Joe didn't break his hand too so much, he hit harder.

Ottke couldn't lose in Germany irrespective of any 'skills' he had. Anyone travelling to fight Ottke had one chance, and that was to KO him, (even legit KD's were discounted against 'The Phantom'). Ottke, notably, didn't fight Marcus Beyer (almost certainly because he was also German and that would've nixed Ottke's huge advantage). Bottom line is Calzaghe would have been stupid to fight Ottke in Germany and Ottke would (and did) never have left the fatherland.

Ottke and Beyer shared the same trainer also.
Kessler, Kessler, what ya gonna doo, what ya gonna doo when Joe comes for you.

Here you go. And the same promoter and manager. Sauerland simply didn't want to have his two cash cows fight one another.Max Molyneux wrote:Ottke and Beyer shared the same trainer also.
Btw, I've little doubt that prime Ottke would have beaten Beyer.

Ottke's skills went no further than his footwork. All that pitter patter bullshit wouldn't have impressed at all outside of Germany. Comfort zone Joe would have eaten him alive.

Even if Kessler was actually scared of brave brave Calzaghe, that's no problem at all.Max Molyneux wrote:Kessler, Kessler, what ya gonna doo, what ya gonna doo when Joe comes for you.
He just needs to say once, that he wants at least 10-20 % of total profits from the fight. Then it's sure to never happen.
Then he'll be another fighter in the looooooong line of ppl who've outprised themselves when brave brave Calzaghe has come around with a generous offer.
Oh i forgot! Brave brave Calzaghe wont even bother to make Kessler an offer. Brave brave Calzaghe has more important stuff to do. He's fighting BIKA and contemplating. how he's gonna take over the LHW division. (if it weren't for those damn LHW's outpricing themselves - thieves and beggars the lot of them)
Poor brave brave Calzaghe. All those mean ppl are out to take his money.
Good thing brave brave Calzaghe will stand up for himself and rather turn down a fight than have to share the money.
"Bravely bold Calzaghe rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die, O brave Calzaghe!
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Calzaghe!"

Warren made Kessler and Beyer offers before and after he fought Lacy.
Posted: 20 Sep 2006, 09:19
Well i've heard that before the Lacy fight, Kessler was offered 50.000$ to come to britain and fight with short notice AND at a time when Kessler was well known to be recovering from a back-injury.Max Molyneux wrote:Warren made Kessler and Beyer offers before and after he fought Lacy.
Cudos to Warren for showing both both good will, generosity and good timing
I also know that during the summer Beyer was offered a shot at Joe. They had agreed in principle on money and terms, Except Warren wouln't give in on the date, insisting on early september. Beyer needed more time for cuts to heal (from Bika fight) so the fight fell through.
What irony that Calzaghe ended up NOT fighting in september, but is now fighting Bika the same night as Beyer fights Kessler - Nice work mr. Warren
Beyer has even admitted in interviews that he'd rather have faced Calzaghe. But when he learned Calzaghe was not fighting until october, he'd already signed with Kessler.
As for any other offers Warren have made - i've heard of none extended to Kessler. Don't know about Beyer. Please share any information and details about any such offers.

In pounds that would be worth it.

Problably about a tenth of what Calzaghe would make.Max Molyneux wrote:In pounds that would be worth it.
If Warren wants decent opposition, he'll need to come up with something better. - But who ever said better opposition was a priority to Warren.
What surprices me is that Calzaghe fans seems to agree.
