    He could have fought both Diaconu and Tarver, by having three fights instead of two this year.

    There are plenty of months in the year for three fights.

      They are more polite. You also don't have people standing up, blocking the view in front of you at crucial moments, like in the US.

        A comparison to british crowds will almost always come out with the islanders on top. They have the tradition which is unparallelled.

        But saying that the german crowds are not loud is pushing it IMO.

            They are used to Sven Ottke and Henry Maske fights, give them time.

            I've heard some chants though... They were really into Castillejo-Sylvester especially in the last round. Clapping is more usual than yelling and chanting.

            I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing anyway.

              Didn’t Margarito give up his title and fight Cotto instead of his mandatory?? Didn't that pay off for him instead of fighting Clottey

                Comparing them to the English, such high standards.

                    When I say Europe, I'm including the UK and Ireland.

                      German crowds are nothing compared to English fans.
