Looks like Nate Diaz wants in on that Floyd Mayweather boxing match.
SPORT DADDY NEWS UFC
With Floyd Mayweather starting up talk about a potential bout against Conor McGregor, it looks like the last man to beat the UFC champ wants in on the big money fight as well.
McGregor's sparring partner in boxing earlier revealed that the Irishman still has some work to do if he wanted to cross over to the sport. Now, Nate Diaz made a claim that he's the only one who can properly make the jump against Floyd.
The Diaz brothers have routinely sparred high level boxers, including one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in Andre Ward. As seen in the video Diaz referenced, Ward always speaks highly of Nate's boxing skills.
"He's hard to fight. I mean he's really hard to spar. They call it the Stockton slap, and he'll slap you to death, and I don't mean that in a bad way" the undefeated boxer said. "I sparred with Nick and Nate. Nate helped me get ready for Chad (Dawson). He always comes in shape and he throws a million punches from a million different angles."
"I'm a world class fighter, and they more than hold their own. They're tough as nails," he said. "Nate throws a lot more punches than Nick, and he throws them from all different angles."
"Those guys can compete in boxing, just pure stand up. Those boys got hands."
As for Mayweather himself, there's no word if he's actually spoken to the UFC who owns McGregor's contract, but they're still putting out rumors and constantly talking about the bout.
