    Cotto needs to box, as much as Cotto really needed to go back to his roots in being the aggressor which really made him, this time he would need to box. Canelo's combination punching may be too much for Cotto who leaves himself open for uppercuts, if Cotto opts to stay in the pocket.

      Truth be told, I'm afraid he's gonna go in there guns blazing like he did against Delvin and get KO'd.
      I hope he does go in guns blazing, he would beat the dog **** out of Canelo. He should do a little boxing to keep him off at times then just start loading up and stop him

        He's going to come in and swarm hoping that canelo's suspect stamina won't be up to it. Can't see it working though as it will play to canelo's advantages, he doesn't want to go hunting for his man. Thing is if Cotto took the margarito approach and tried to box from the outside I don't think he'd be able to win clearly enough to get the decision. I have Cotto as the underdog in this one.

          Canelo does have fast hands with good defense but slow feet. Haven't seen Canelo against a good body puncher so it would be interesting to see what happens whey they start exchanging body blows.

          I say he should fight Canelo like he fought Floyd. Canelo does have good boxing skills with slow legs

              He should take his time and let the fight come to him. No need to force anything. Both guys have terrible stamina and that's where his experience will come into play.

                pull a Soto-Lorenzo and try to bait the ref into disqualifying Alvarez for the lamest foul he can act believably, because otherwise he's getting KTFO by Alvarez

                  He needs to throw that left hook to the body.

                  Below the waistline if he is behind after the 9th round.

                    Ill say guns blazing first second of round one. Canelo is a very slow starter, let him have it early. Drop that fool and call it the night.

                    WAR COTTO!
