Bernard Hopkins is edging towards Errol Spence defeating Terence Crawford as the undisputed welterweight clash gets closer.
The unbeaten pair will finally come together in Las Vegas on July 29 and the bout is likely to crown a new pound-for-pound number one with the winner walking away with all the titles at 147lbs.
Hopkins, the first fighter to win all four world titles in one fight when he defeated Oscar De La Hoya for middleweight glory in 2004, is fully aware of just how close this contest is.
Both men have their backers within the boxing community but there’s not a lot of confidence from people when making their selection. Hopkins is no different
“On paper right now, and talent-wise, I see this fight being a pick em,” said Hopkins when discussing the fight with Fight Hub .
“I’m leaning more towards Spence based on style, but Crawford is live, dangerous, and ready to prove [himself] to the world, to the naysayers, to everybody. I believe Crawford got the bigger chip on his shoulder.
“I believe Spence is the most talented one of the two, but that alone won’t be [enough] for this fight to be won or lost.”
