    Cotto Canelo is easily the best fight there

    Y'all nuts to vote anything else.

    We'll enjoy that while you're stuck with Grabamir Vs flabby gypsy

    This is the correct order. Alvarez Cotto could maybe be #1 as well. But the fight isn't that significant... Cotto will be on the canvas I think multiple times in this fight. He will lose.

    Porter looked poor and had no power the Diaz fight and prior.

    Started working with Victor Conte.

    Suddenly he's hurting durable guys like Alexander and brutally KOing Paulie (who claimed he was hurt with every punch, when he looked at Porter's record and wasn't expecting him to be).

    Eddie Hearn wanted drug testing for the Brook fight. They did everything they could to wriggle out of it, including bringing the fight date forward and USADA then claimed 'we need more notice'.

    You've got to admit that amount of evidence seems somewhat suspicious.

    Klitschko-Fury is the most intriguing heavyweight fight in a decade.

    Definitely Canelo-Cotto should be a great action fight(MX-PR rivalry never disappoints) it's also the biggest legacy fight out of the bunch

    Cotto vs. Alvarez and Klitschko vs. Fury the only real 5 star match ups of the lot.

    They said that about Klitschko vs Haye...I'm not saying I don't watch his fights but I refuse to get my hopes up for any Wlad match.

    It's not truly signifigant in terms of skill... Cotto will get smashed. He is a complete hype job and his promoter Jay-Z is possibly the 2nd worst in the game next to Al Haymon. Seems to be good at fixing fights and having guys like geale take a bung.

    In other words, in my mind Cotto is shot, I am just excited to see the belts transferred to someone more legitimate.

    Dude Canelo-Cotto is obviously the biggest fight and most important one listed.

    Cotto should he win would very likely solidify his place as an ATG level fighter in terms of experience and skills he's the 2nd best fighter listed.
    Alvarez should he win would confirm his place as a current great, and the man in boxing for the new generation.

    The only thing that comes close is Wlad-Fury and that's only if Fury wins.

    True, can't wait to see Paulie render him unconscious :yep
