Neither Cowboy nor Diaz would stand a chance against Conor; he is a stylistic nightmare for both.
Why? I can see diaz outboxing Connor ,keep in mind that Nate has longer reach than Connor and is a durable guy.
Watch Diaz v Thomson and tell me that Diaz would do well against Conor (given that Conor is faster, more powerful, more dangerous, and moves better than Thomson). I enjoy watching Nate fight, but this is a terrible fight for him.

Conor keeps his hands too low because he has a reach advantage against all the fw. And I wouldn't call Conor more powerfull than Thompson
calm the fuck down, watch him beat someone with better striking than poirier on the feet and then talk your shit...
this will probably fall on deaf ears though...
Holloway is a better striker than Poirier, as is Siver (likely). You seem to be lost here.
It is worth noting that you simply need to observe him as a striker to realize his relative striking capacities. They are incredibly high.
No Poirier is better than Silver and Holloway on the feet. But the point is Nate, Thomson and Cowboy are all notably more daunting on the feet than anyone Conor has faced.
You need to observe Conor fighting someone on the level of those LWs before you can even say he will trounce any of them. That's just good sense.
Pettis would Murder Connor. It would be a gross head kick stiffening. Cowboy and Diaz would be good matches and fun to watch, Pettis is the kind of striker that would hurt Connor and badly
