Nate Diaz Names His Favorite Boxers – Some of Them Are Must-See

The UFC star Nate Diaz is the center of attraction because of his loud, proud, and savage attitude. However, besides inside the octagon, he is actually a pretty relaxed and cool guy. That’s what almost everyone likes about him.

The 36-year-old warrior has an incredible spirit. Unlike other UFC fighters, he does not seem eager to be a champion or run behind money. He allows fighters to come up to him and enters the octagon with no hype from his side. But as soon as the bell sounds the dingdong, he unleashes his mixed martial arts style with a rebel yell.

Apart from being an MMA legend, he is a big boxing fan. There were several times he was captured on the camera while enjoying boxing showdowns.

Recently, the Stockton native had an interaction with ESNews. In that interview, Diaz opened up on a question regarding his favorite boxers of this generation. He said, “Right now I like. Who I like now….. Errol Spence Jr I like him, Canelo”. 

Notably, boxers and UFC fighters are half-brothers. Both practice combat sports with a unique set of rules. However, Nate Diaz picked Errol Spence Jr. and Canelo Alvarez. There is no doubt about them being the current star boxers. One is a unified WBC and IBF welterweight champion, whereas Canelo is the stalwart, who created history by becoming the first undisputed super middleweight champion.
