Cotto canelo....
Reason being the skill gap between those two is negligible compared to the skill gap between Wlad and Fury. Fury's best chance is to maul and bully Klitschko on the ropes... but the ref will not allow Klitschko to be pushed too much. Tyson will be warned..a point taken.. and possibly even dq'ed. Will be a very very ugly fight.
If you could only pick one fight to watch which one would it be?
Tyson vs Wladimir or Cotto vs Canelo.
wlad v fury because that fight has so many ifs, buts and maybes.
In terms of the other fight I can guarantee Cotto wins but hey both are great and in reality im watching both.
Canelo and Cotto are fighting to become the second best fighter at their weight lol.
Wlad vs Fury all day, for the most prestigious title in boxing, the true heavyweight champion of the world.

Wlad/Fury for sure.
The wind is knocked out of the sails of cotto vs canelo since its a middleweight championship between 2 guys who refuse to fight at middleweight. The outcome seems trivial.
It will still do well though because of Mex/PR rivalry.
:rofl: :rofl: if you'd rather watch wladimir CLINCHko thats on you.
Everyone's concentrating on the events around the fights other than the fights themselves. So Cotto and Canelo are avoiding GGG.... so what? Does this make their own fight any less exciting and compelling? They're both going to give it all they've got... there's 100% probability of fireworks in the forecast. Save for an early knockout, we're in for a treat of a boxing match.
Wlad-Fury for the HW championship? Been there, done that. If I had a nickel for every opponent who has claimed he's going to end Wlad's reign, I'd be richer than Trump. Lots of talk.... usually none of the action. Wlad fights are usually marred by either a) the opponent being scared sh*tless of Wlad, b) Wlad being scared sh*tless of the other guy's power, thus prompting him to maul, clinch, and otherwise foul, or c) a little of both. We haven't had exciting, competitive, back-and-forth HW championship fights since the days of Lewis and Tyson.
Sorry. As far as pure watching enjoyment is concerned, Cotto-Canelo any day for me.
Wlad/Fury for sure.

I was one of the 200 people that bought giggi vs lemiux
Wlad/Fury and it's not close.
Cotto/Canelo is a great fight, a pick'em fight essentially, though I expect Cotto to take him to school because Cotto is a well rounded complete and disciplined fighter and Canelo is predictible, limited, and ordinary, but Wlad hasn't lost in years. This is the biggest HW fight since Tyson/Holyfield II and Fury is about to emerge and the undisputed face of boxing and cash cow.
The crow and tears will be outstanding on NSB after Wlad gets folded like a lawn chair, only casuals, Klitards, and people who DKSAB are writing Fury off. Fury is basically Sweet Pea in Goliaths body, and he will box Wlad's ears off, then slap them back on, then box them off again before he turns off the lights like it's bedtime in an instant FOTD candidate, and I plan to watch and savor every second of it.
The good news though, is that it's not a choice, and I will watch both. :)
Cotto vs Canelo=2 guys who don't want to fight the best in their division.
That is garbage
I know Cotto and Canelo fans want to see their fav fighters fight.
Klitschko vs Fury is a real fight.
Miura vs Vargas is a real fight
Fight fans want to see a real fight
Frampton vs Quigg will be a big event and both men's fans will hype it.
When you break it down to the lowest common denominator, it's still 2 guys who don't want to fight the best fighter in their division.
Need to add:
At least Frampton vs Quigg is at the proper weight.
Cotto Canelo can't even do that right lol
Cotto-Canelo will be a real fight.
Wlad-Fury could very well turn into another farce.
Tyson-Wlad, and it's not even close.
Canelo is too young, fresh and has the better chin. He will just beat up on a defiant Cotto.
Who knows what to expect from the heavyweight fight. Tyson is a loose cannon who will definitely have Wlad the unflappable in a flap come fight night. We also don't know Fury's ceiling and that is also part of the intrigue.
Cotto-Canelo will probably be a better fight but I don't really care who wins. That match just hasn't captured my imagination for some reason.
I know what you mean. I'll watch it but i was watching the 24/7 of it and just had no feeling towards it. I really don't care about who wins and i somehow ended up missing the fight, i don't think i'd be that bothered. It should be something to look forward to but i'm just not bothered.
Maybe it's because i'm not buying into the hype that it's these two great fighters in this big super fight because i don't think it is. I think both are nothing special, they're good fighters and thats it.
And i think the GGG thing is taking the shine of it. I'm not a fanboy of his but knowing both guys will never try and unify the titles and fight the guy everyone wants them to fight, it takes the shine of it all a little bit because there's little to look forward in terms of where the winner will go next.
The question was which fight would you rather fight. Whether or not you like Cotto or Canelo, fact is they'll come to fight and deliver a good show. With Wlad and Fury, you don't know what you're gonna get. Too many Wlad opponents have promised big things, only to become all meek and lay down for Wlad. Wlad, on the other hand, protects his chin by all means, legal and otherwise (ie: Povetkin). I've seen enough stinker Wlad fights (Haye, Sultan, Povetkin) that this isn't even a difficult question for me. Cotto-Canelo all the way.

Cotto Canelo isn't even the best fight on that card lol
Miura vs Vargas is a real fight.
Cotto and Canelo are just fighting over the chance to duck the best fighter in their division.
Fury is actually fighting the best in his division.
Boxing fans will agree.
Mexican and Puerto Rican fans will cry about this lol
