    You have made some interesting points,decebal.
    However, you have presented the wrong example. As far as I can remember Loewe is Romanain,too.His real name wasnt Loewe.He also knows Diaconu as he tried to sell him to Kohl a few years ago.Kohl didnt seem to be that keen on signing Diaconu though.Kohl's head coach considered Diaconu to be not good enough to become a champ and a serious threat to any top fighter.

    Yeah, Loewe (Mihai Leu) is Romanian. That is why I used the example, because I am Romanian and I wanted to show that it cuts both ways - Leu should never have won that WBO title. He robbed the beltholder that night.

    Also, Kohl was silly not to sign Diaconu. The way things are going at LHW, with so many big names retiring soon, he's bound to be at least a good long-term contender, even if he fails to win a belt this time around. We'll see how he does against Henry and then, hopefully, Dawson. :good

    Their names are Egon and Dieter Roth.Both brothers have a contract with the German promoter Kohl. As far as I understood both of them stem from Romania.I am not that familiar with Romania-to tell you the truth.
    I guess that a lot of Germans live there,dont they?

    Yeah, they are Romanian - Romanian Sachsen!:happy

    Unfortunately, there are very, very few Sachsen left in Romania...the ones who didn't leave/were sold by the communists before 1989 left straight after...:verysad :-( :verysad :-( :verysad
