Its easy to say I picked Hopkins now that the fight is said and done and I don't think I actually posted my pick...

To me it game down to the weight, I eventualy came to the conclusion that Tarver could come down from the weight, but didn't have enough to time come up (if you get what I'm saying... ) from the weight... he was heavier than The 'Nard but Hopkins was the stronger, better conditioned man... I wasn' expecting that to be Hopkin's main strength I eventually but it down to a UD with Hopkins just being a better boxer (I know I go on about tarver... I think he is a decent boxer... skill wise at least... Its just that he's an arsehole... )
