      Canelo can cut the ring off really well, just because he couldn't do it to Floyd doesn't mean he can't do it to Cotto

        Speed, movement and timing. Cotto has all these but he is getting older, Canelo was baffled with Floyds movement and range. Cotto needs to study that tape and pick out the bits he can replicate.

          Just use cherrypicker's blue print. The ginger is a counter puncher, so let him lead and pot shot. Better put on some running shoes instead of boxing shoes

            Apply pressure. Canelo can't deal with pressure. When he's pressured he covers up and wait for spots to fight in spurts. If Cotto tries to box him he (Cotto) will get Hammered.

              Fight him by boxing Canelo early, showing him who the more skilled fighter is and take away his confidence. Then late, when Canelo begins to fade, attack the body and press him. He may not get the stoppage, but he'll get a clear UD.

                Do what Bradley did on how to beat marquez from watching floyd. Just watch how floyd beat canelo
                But yes, cotto does look better when hes constantly attacking like he did in those first 2 rounds against pac, couple rounds against may, and last fight vs my delivery driver, delvin rod.

                  He should use his boxing skill but fight off the front foot being offensive minded being smart with his pressure. Canelo is a decent boxer but he is not really a guy that can fight off the back foot great, Canelo would have some opportunities doing this but I think he would he hard pressed to take full advantage of them.

                    Just show up for the money and reap the benefits. He's going to get pummeled but he'll tag Canelo a few times.

                      I see Cotto trying to pressure Canelo and eating combos to the body and head,But Cotto's foot speed will also give Canelo issues. This fight will be a war and a close fight.
