Michael was acting Head of the Family by this time. Dispute if you like his plans and methods in dealing with Moe Green. Nevertheless, he was running the family, making the plans and Fredo was out of line to usurp his authority in that room, at that moment, by suggesting his father be contacted.
Therefore, Fredo was the more dangerous of the two.
