Do you think Hopkins-Calzaghe mandates a 24/7 show?
I guess this is a show reserved only for super super fights, and I am wondering if this fight has what it takes to add its name to the 24/7 series. I believe even before the fight is signed it has already created more buzz than most fights generate after their promotion is over, also this fight could be bigger than Mayweather-Hatton as most people are divided with their opinions on their favorite as opposed to Mayweather being everyone's pick in the last fight. also like ricky, Joe's fans would most likely cross the atlantic to make it to the fight hence another british invasion with the intention of revenge for their fellow countrymen. overall think both fighters have attained legendary status in the sport of boxing, both decorated champions in the twilight of their careers & this possibly could be either one of their last fights. With hopkins being a brilliant self-promoter, Joe's personality is still a mystery to his fans therefore perhaps this show may dwell more on that.
"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
