Miguel Ángel Cotto Vázquez (born October 29, 1980), best known as Miguel Cotto, is a Puerto Rican professional boxer. He is the first Puerto Rican to have won world titles in four different weight classes, and is ranked as the world's fourth best light middleweight by The Ring magazine as of December 2016. In 2007 and 2009 he reached a peak pound for pound ranking of seventh by The Ring.
As an amateur, Cotto represented Puerto Rico in the lightweight and light welterweight divisions at various international events, including the 1999 Pan American Games, the 2000 Olympics, and the 1998 Junior World Championships; the latter of where he won a silver medal at lightweight. Having begun his professional career in 2001, Cotto defeated Kelson Pinto for the WBO light welterweight title in 2004. He made six successful defenses before vacating the title when he ascended to welterweight. In his first welterweight fight, in 2006, Cotto defeated Carlos Quintana for the vacant WBA title. He successfully defended it four times before a loss to Antonio Margarito in 2008, in what was his first professional defeat. The following year, he won the vacant WBO welterweight title, defending it once before losing it to Manny Pacquiao in the same year.
In 2010, Cotto moved up another division to light middleweight and won the WBA title from Yuri Foreman. Having been promoted by the WBA to Super champion status, Cotto won a 2011 rematch against Antonio Margarito. In 2012 he lost the WBA (Super) title to Floyd Mayweather Jr., in one of the most anticipated fights in modern boxing history. The year would end on a further sour note for Cotto, as he suffered an upset defeat to WBA (Regular) light middleweight champion Austin Trout. Two years later, Cotto defeated Sergio Martínez to win the unified WBC, Ring, and lineal middleweight titles. In doing so, he became the first Puerto Rican fighter in history to win a world title in four different weight classes. In 2015, he defended his titles once before losing to Canelo Álvarez.
