    That's furys problem
    The point is he is not close to Mayweather or pacquiao and many others In greatness

    He has beaten one hof fighter, Wilder may get in but he shouldn't

    That ATG fighter was also 40 years old and Fury bottled the rematch

    His resume is quite s..t, but he has a chance to have one more great on his record

    A much smaller Pacquiao who he tactically aged out for 5+ years is his signature win, I don't regard him as a better opponent than Usyk or Wlad in Germany, let alone much better. Aside from LW/WW being relative non-punchers, the bookies knew that Mayweather virtually always had the Vegas officiating on his side, so he was extremely difficult to get a decision against.

    Wlad was old and fury prime
    Pacquiao wasn't exactly crying out for the fight either

    You could sat Fury did the same with Aj, waiting him out

    Also Fury hasn't bear usyk yet, so that's not relevant

    Oscar
    Manny (still younger than floyd)
    Hernandez
    Marquez
    Mosley
    Cotto
    Gatti
    Hatton
    Coralles
    Maidana x2
    Castillo x2
    Guerrero
    Judah
    Canelo
    Ortiz
    Berto
    Etc

    Are you really going to say Furys resume can measured the above?

    Wlad
    Chisora x3
    Mcdermott x 2
    Rogan lol
    Whyte
    Wilder x2

    Come on man

    If Mayweather had wanted the fight in 2010 it would have happened in 2010. And he would have never fought Pacquaio in the Philippines. It had to be in Vegas with his judges, referee, ring and drug testing, at his time of choice (5+ years late). While he was an extremely skilled boxer I don't find this kind of deck stacking impressive.

    Mayweather's whole career was carefully managed, Fury with his willingness to travel and take on the odds six times (thus far) by contrast was not. Mayweather was consistent and disciplined, Fury with his tendency to balloon up 10 stone and snort drugs is not. Mayweather has much more depth but lacks a superior standout win and without A-side protections he'd have probably lost multiple times.

    "You could sat Fury did the same with Aj, waiting him out"

    Joshua was "waiting him out" by his own admission since Fury became champion, if not before.

    December 13th 2015:

    “I’d fight Tyson Fury now but it would be a hard fight. When I’m ready, I’ll make it an easy fight. But I’d fight Dillian again. He might give me a few more rounds. That’s what I need.” - Anthony Joshua

    "Mcdermott x 2
    Rogan lol"

    This is weak. Neither figure in Fury's top 10 wins and they may well be outside his top 15.

    If Fury wanted Usyk right after aj/usyk 2 then it would've happened. But for some reason it took 2 years after that fight to happen, so perhaps Fury tried to age him out ?

    He did want the fight in 2010, but Manny was afraid of needles...

    Why would Floyd fight in the Philippines??? The Philippines was never mentioned as a location for the fight. Big fights are usually staged here in the States(Vegas) because of money, unless the fighters are English..... Turki now is mixing things up with a bit larger purses to entice fighters to fight in Saudi Arabia...

    The Philippines???? What for???

    Floyd Mayweather is a weight draining iv cherry picking bum. Floyd clearly sold out to you know who. Mayweather had in house fights and a sided you to death. He's an extremely dodgy individual. Vegas gave him advantages. Floyds resume is terrible lol.

    Mayweather gave immediate rematches to his toughest fights.

    Floyd would never have come off a 2 year layoff and fight a deadly puncher like Wilder in his home country.

    Seems like you need to improve your boxing knowledge then Mayweather was in many exciting fights and had stand out exciting performances below Welterweight.

    Jesus Chavez, Phillip Ndou, DeMarcus Corley, Diego Corrales, Angel Manfredy, Emanuel Augustus, Arturo Gatti, were all exciting to watch.

    I'd much rather rewatch Mayweathers fights at Super Featherweight/Lightweight than rewatch any of Fury's fights outside of the Usyk fight which was to be fair a great technical match up from both men.

    Considering there is no danger of him being hit by someone as useless as wilder, I would disagree

    Someone with such limited ability would not find Floyd's chin
