Quit acting like lee deserves his shot
Ferguson / Lee are also LEGIT contenders.
Simple logicWill Nate try to take Conor down? - No
Will Ferguson/Lee try to take Conor down? - Yes
Ferguson/Lee is the tougher fight.
Chiesa wasn't intelligently defending himself even if he was playing dead. Bottom line.I dont know who started this Kevin Lee hype train, but I'm not buying it. He's a middle of the pack guy that just jumped the entire top 10 to a title shot. He's talented, but he's not going to beat the elite in 5 round fights. He might catch someone in a sub or with a punch, but he will not go on this ass kicking tour of the elite of the elite like Ferguson has and could do.
And he did not choke out Chiesa. If someone is not passed out then don't stop the fight... simple as that. Especially a guy like Chiesa that comes back from that kind of adversity in fights. If round 2 would have started then that fight would have been Chiesa's for the taking.

Chiesa was done, bro. The ref fucked up, but let's not pretend Chiesa wasn't just about to tap - he had his hand out ready to do it because Lee was right under the chin and palm to palm. There was absolutely no way Chiesa would have gotten out of that.I dont know who started this Kevin Lee hype train, but I'm not buying it.

If you think Lee is a contender, then the rest of the top ten, including Nate are too.
He ain't beating Ferguson. My post was based on current meritQuit acting like he doesn't if he beats Ferguson.
Does he need to beat Dennis Siver to get a title shot?
Nate gave us two amazing iconic fights. He deserves a shit tonYeah but he deserves more than Nate does.
