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.
How Should Cotto Fight Canelo?

I say he should use the Margarito 2011 strategy. Thing is, Canelo isn't gonna be coming straight at him and thus Cotto won't land as often, and we both know he pretty much needs to kill Canelo to even get a draw.
Truth be told, I'm afraid he's gonna go in there guns blazing like he did against Delvin and get KO'd.Comment

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.Comment

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 legsComment

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 AlvarezComment
