I'm going for Joe. I've been a fan throughout his career, when this fight was anounced I thought it would be an easy nights work for him, but I always manage to convince myself his opponents are more of a threat than they really are by fight night.

Hopkins is crafty and has a good defence, so I don't think he'll get beat up. Calzaghe he could easily win the rounds from the outside if he wanted to IMO, and I hope that's what he does early to get some rounds in the bank, then let Hopkins come forward out of desoeration. This fight is as hard as Joem Makes it for himself IMO, if he gets involved in a brawl early he could find himself playing catch up for the rest of the fight and playing into B-hops plans, but I think JC has enough experience by now not to panic when things aren't going his way, and I expect him to wina comfortable, but ugly decision.
