Would you rate sven ottke as an all time great he retired with a career record of 34(6kos)-0 so he retired undefeated but did he fight any fighters that were good enough to say he is a all time great or does he just have a clean record? what are your opinions i dont think he is i dont think he should even go into the HOF

Retiring as an undefeated champion with wins over the likes of:
Krajnc
Reid
Larsen
Starie
Mitchell
Markussen
Tate
Branco
Brewer
Johnson
makes Sven an all time great in my book. He will deservedly make the HOF.

I saw a few of his later fights and it seemed to me he was getting favours from some friendly judges...

And referees, he was practically refereeing his own fights. If he'd have fought outside Germany his record would contain a few losses. I wouldn't put him anywhere near the hall of fame.
