Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (45-1-1, 32KOs) has already started early training camp for what he hopes is going to be a fall showdown with WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (40-4, 33KOs) of Puerto Rico. Golden Boy Promotions, who have Canelo, want to stage the fight on an HBO Pay-Per-View date in October or November.

Next week, Canelo and manager Eddy Reynoso will sit down with Golden Boy President Oscar De La Hoya to discuss the terms, including the date and venue, for a Canelo fight.

Saul spent the last two weeks on vacation, but he's now in Jalisco where he started loosening up, having morning runs and he's in the gym doing light work.

Last month he demolished James Kirkland in three rounds, while Cotto was back last Saturday and stopped Daniel Geale in four.

"We hope to meet with De La Hoya next week. On our side we've already done our medical tests [to ensure there are no injuries from the last fight] and everything was excellent, and we also began to work in the morning," said Reynoso.
