Former world champion Shane Mosley has tipped Terence Crawford to win his undisputed clash against Errol Spence Jr. this weekend.
Crawford is putting his WBO welterweight belt on the line, while Spence is bringing the WBC, IBF and WBO championships.
The fight is perhaps the most hotly anticipated boxing event of the summer after years of speculation that the two would come together in the ring.
When it came to making a prediction, Mosley believes that “Bud” is the favourite going into the fight because he has been more active as of late.
He told Sporting Post: "I'm leaning towards Terence Crawford because he's been more active and he has a winning mentality. Errol Spence also has a winning mentality, but when you've been in a big car accident like Errol has, your body breaks down, and it's difficult to be 100 percent and he needs to be 100 percent against Crawford.
“At first when the fight was announced my instinct was Spence might outbox Crawford, or at least move around being too technical for him. But then I started to hang out with Terence a little bit and I saw his mentality is different to other fighters. He really showed me that he's a fighter. He's also not too small - he's just as big as Spence - so I'm predicting Terence will give him some problems.
“But it's a 50-50 fight no doubt and I wouldn't be surprised if Spence beat Terence. I could see both guys winning, but at this moment I'm leaning towards Terence because of Spence's accident and because Spence hasn't been as active as Terence."
