Dont you dare talk down on my boy Ottke
The good old humping style.
Ottkes style was designed by his coaching team around Uli Wegner. I understand it was very boring and close to illegal. I hated it.
BUT if you watch his amateur fights you really see what a world class talent he was and how crazy good his boxing really developed. He was fast , diverse with fantastic footwork. Could handle the best cubans and russians. 3rd place at world championships 1989, European Champ 1991 & 1996 (not easy!) He defeated fighters like Micheal Moorer, Tarver, Chris Byrd...etc.
Sometimes the style a boxer develops when going pro lets us seriously underrate his skill level. Ottke may be the prime example of that.
