    Bigger fight in your opinion: Canelo-Cotto or Klitschko-Wilder?

    If you had to choose which fight will have be more of a mega fight which one would you choose?

    I really love both of these fights. Both are the old lion vs the young lion type fights. I think Klitschko-Wilder ends more shockingly and produces more drama. I think the Heavyweight fight is more of a mega fight because of the deep storied history of the division but the Mexican vs Puerto Rican rivalry is one of a kind.

    Canelo/Cotto is a more even fight

    Klitchko/Wilder there is a massive experience gap

      Wilder is still not notable and answered no questions I had about him vs Stiverne but looked better than expected so Cotto/Canelo is a bigger fight between two much more proven guys.

        Right now, Cotto/Canelo is the bigger fight. Wilder needs to start stringing together some defenses against good names, than the fight with Klitschko will be huge.

          Canelo has fought 3 good opponents while Wilder has fought 2. Experience gap isn't that wide

            I think Canelo-Cotto is bigger because most people still don't know who Wilder is. If they keep building Wilder up, that fight would be bigger worldwide. Heavyweights are generally a bigger deal

              Trout, Mayweather and Lara are all better wins than Stiverne, let alone Malik Scott.

                Wilder vs Klitschko would bring so many casual american fans out. Those who have been waiting for an American HW to champion

                  Canelo vs Cotto purely based on on the revenue & audience Latinos (I hate that word) would bring but if Haymon markets Wilder right which Haymon is more than capable of, we could have a very nationalistic fight in its own right.

                    Casual fans still don't have much of a clue of who Wilder is...he needs to win vs. some more big-name heavyweights to build up his own hype.

                    Canelo/Cotto is clearly the bigger fight, it would easily sell out some of the biggest venues in America. Klitscko/Wilder? not so much
