    Calzaghe has to be the most boring boxer in the world. Did any one see that documentary ITV made about him after the Lacy fight?

    Calzaghe would probably enjoy a burning of the English flag.

    Hopkins-Calzaghe 24/7 would be great. Just great. Could be better than Mayweather-Hatton which I think was better than DLH-Mayweather.

    These two guys are much older and wiser, I think they would put on a whole different show than we saw before.

    Many of you would be surprised how exciting this one could turn out.

    It would make a pleasant change from Mayweather talking about his dad and money, and Hatton going on about how down to earth he is.

    The only problem would be that Calzaghe is quite a moody guy. I think he would get sick of the cameras.

    Hopkins would be great.

    I would love to see a 24/7 about Calzaghe/Hopkins, but I don't think HBO will make one for this fight. Both fighters are relatively near the end of their careers. I would be surprised if HBO wanted to hype up either one too terribly.

    LOL on that. I enjoy the theatrics as well. As long as things don't get out of hand like during the Bowe/Golota fight - everything is good.

    Absolutely YES.
    I'd enjoy seeing their homes and a bit of history of these fellows!

    I hope they do but wouldn't be surprised if they don't take the time and money to do one.

    There absolutely will not be a 24/7 for these guys, the obvious reasons have already been mentioned. If someone wants to put 10 bucks on the line against my nut sack, I'll take it.

    Calzaghe is a quiet, shy bloke. There wouldn't be much to film apart from his training and running. Calzaghe would most likely refuse the offer anyway.

    Enzo is incomprehensible. The Yanks would think he's speaking Spronglish.
