Combat Sports

Miguel Cotto is a Puerto Rican former professional boxer who fought from 2001 to 2017. He represented Puerto Rico as an amateur at the 1999 Pan American Games and the 2000 Olympics, then won world titles from light welterweight to middleweight and became the first Puerto Rican boxer to win world titles in four weight classes. He began as a hard hitting pressure fighter and developed into a more refined boxer-puncher. Among his best known fights were losses to Antonio Margarito, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Canelo Alvarez, and a victory over Sergio Martinez for the middleweight crown.
