    Who is the bigger draw? Who's the bigger name? Who's the A-side?

    Cotto should and will get top billing. Canelo needs Cotto more than vice versa, plus the whole matter of the "lineal" middleweight title being on the line (between 2 junior middleweights).

    Is this a serious question? How could it NOT be Cotto?

    Canelo is the A side. He'd only be B side to Floyd and Manny and nobody else.

    Bigger draw/name easily goes to Cotto. As far as the A side is considered, assuming it means who's in his prime, clearly Alvarez wins there.

    Right now I would say Canelo is the big name in the fight, don't get me wrong both hold huge value but Canelo is the new 'superstar' of world boxing. I do think a 50/50 split is the way it should be for that fight though.

    I thought Canelo was a bigger draw (financially)? It's surprising most people voted Cotto.

    TS doesnt even remember Canelo's surname that answers the question.

    Cotto>Alvarez bigger draw

    Cotto...if Canelo wants the fight. But, Canelo has the bigger fan base.

    At this point i say Canelo is the bigger draw. Cotto is the bigger name though.
