How big were the Tyson/Wilder fights compared to...

I was at every fight you listed apart from Canelo-Cotto and based off the atmosphere during fight week, Fury-Wilder 2 felt the biggest. Going by numbers I imagine Canelo-GGG/Cotto done better. So depends what you mean by big tbh...

Bigger in what sense? Financially Fury/Wilder 1 and 2 weren't big by modern standards. However, as heavyweight clashes they got a lot of non hispanic casuals talking about the sport which is great!

All around bigger. Got the world talking about Boxing again.
Biggest HW fight since Tyson/Lewis.
1.2 m PPV buys.
Bigger atmosphere.
Meant more to Boxing but thats because HWs have always meant the most to Boxing as far as the rest of the world is concerned.
