But but but boxing dead doe

He's under contract to the UFC to so idk that it gives him options so much as puts him in the same situation as Conor minus the popularity or impact behind him to force a conflict between boxing & the UFC.

Although that said maybe having less appeal than Conor could help him in that the UFC may not give as much of a f#ck about losing Nate for a fight or two in the boxing world.

Conor has huge value to the UFC & one could argue him getting handled by the best boxer of this era could still negatively effect Conor's popularity & value to MMA fans. But personally I think MMA fans are the most intelligent fans on average of all combat sports fans & would be completely fine with Conor losing to Floyd & coming back to the UFC as they'll understand more than most that a L in boxing is virtually meaningless to Conor the MMA athlete.

It's funny that Diaz is known for being a good boxer because in reality he's garbage. He just has excellent stamina and a great chin. But his boxing skill is pretty terrible.

I agree beating Brook elevates Spence regardless. He will make a splash in the UK market and capture a belt in the process if he can pull it off. Name fighters like Peterson and Porter have already expressed a willingness to fight Spence if he wins. Errol won't have trouble getting opponents or prime time PBC slots if he has that IBF strap.

Good point , both are gonna get ko'd .

Mma is dead unless its an event with McGregor or rousey, rousey is pretty much done for, and the other wants to box.

Bahaha bro tha was pure sarcasm from me. I've been touring the boxing never been dead horn. Ppl saying boxing is dead are crazy. Boxing has been alive and breathing well just now it's hit another peak era.
