    they should have done a 24/7 with Hopkins and Pavlik instead of Jones/Calzaghe

    I think its conclusive that calzaghe can punch.

    Even Roy Jones has been guilty of a bit of slapping.

    Dont beleive me ask me to post a youtube video.

    I aint taking anything away from Roy the guy is great and a good fighter, but all fighters slp every now and then.

    I enjoyed Mayweather/Hatton the most, then comes DLH/Mayweather and RJJ/Jones. Hoping DLH/Pacquiao is great.

    Completely disagree.

    Most people thought that Hopkins would lose an ugly fight. There was not much hype behind this fight. The PPV numbers proved this. A 24/7 was completely not worth it. The end result was spectacular and deserves a special place in boxing history for 24/7 shows are based on PRE-fight hype and how much it is anticipated by fan. It has to be a pretty big fight.

    Hatton-Money May was a proper cinematic story....the rough lad from the humble Council Estate versus the perfect tactician, bred in boxing from his youth by his family, themselves prizefighters, and now he is a perfect blend of the two.

    Sadly lacked the fairytale ending.

    After the 3 DLH/Pacman shows, i don't recall one mention of the big difference in size. Shocking isn't it?

    Floyd v Hatton was classic. Espiecally when Floyd was wearing a Man Utd shirt around Manchester, if you don't know Hatton follows Man Citeh and Man Utd are their rivals - they hate each other big time.

    I havent really watched them, I think that its just two hours of bull tring to get people to buy the fights...I wish they would spend time and money on getting fans to watch fights on regular HBO then maybe we can get some life back into boxing, instead of sell us these sideshow events like Jones vs Calzaghe a fight that was 5 to 8 years to late, or this mismatch with pac and Oscar.

    The Segway? I remember they showed that in the PBF-Hoya 24/7. Oscar's bro and Millie were racing with each other around the house with it. Floyd probably said "I've got to get me one of those..." and that's why we see him trying to run his kids down with it in PBF-Hatton 24/7. :D

    Mayweather Hatton was the best by far.... Ricky Hatton was ****ing hilarious. I have friends who are not into boxing but watched the PBF Hatton 24/7 and were excited for the fight.
