Miguel Cotto comments on the sad loss of his father
January 4th, 2010
By Peter Wells: A man whom was deeply involved in his son’s career has passed away, suffering a heart attack yesterday. That man was Miguel Cotto Sr, father of former World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Miguel Cotto. Cotto Sr pledged his son’s corner to stop the fight against Manny Pacquiao where he was witnessing his son taking a brutal battering. Cotto Sr and Jr were close, and we all offer our deepest sympathies to the Cotto family.
Evangelista Cotto was one of the first to the scene and was too upset to speak. Cotto’s former trainer and uncle hadn’t talked to Cotto Sr since Evangelista filed a complaint about Miguel Cotto and Cotto Sr took to his son’s side.
Felix Trinidad Sr father of 3 division world champion Felix ‘Tito’ Trinidad said that the news saddened him very much as he knew the Cotto family very much and gave his condolences to the Cotto family.
Miguel Cotto didn’t have much to say but said, “We appreciate all the tokens of affection and sympathy. It is a very painful moment for me and for my entire family. I hope that everyone respects our request for space to overcome this difficult moment”.
Cotto was saddened but strong about the sudden loss of his father and we respect his wishes and even though it has been a terrible start of the year for him we all hope things get better.

Siento mucho la repentina muerte de tu padre. Que Dios te de fortaleza para seguir adelante, eres un campeon Miguel,sigue adelante con la frente en alto y da gracias a la vida por haber tenido a ese ser humano que te amo tanto. El seguira contigo por siempre.
I’m a big Pacman fan but become a fan of Miguel Cotto after their fight. May you rest in peace Senor Cotto.
Miguel Cotto- you’re the true “Warrior King” your last fight made me a believer. You stood in the pocket and it could of gone any way but for one punch that put you down, only to stand again. They stopped the fight, not because you were ready to go, you’re a fighter “warrior king”. God Bless the man that brought you into this world for all of us to embrace and try to emulate.
Sincerely,
A pacman fan

Our condolences to the Cotto family in this sad lost. Puerto Rico also has lost a great person in Miguel Cotto Sr. Miguel Cotto Jr., we know that you and your father were very close together sharing a very strong love. He sat a good example of how a father should guide a son through a professional life like yours. I remember in an interview in the show “24,7”, before the Packiao-Cotto fight, your father was talking about the relationship with your uncle Evangelista. He said that the future was going to talk about this situation. Cotto, the future is knocking at your door. You need to open your heart for your uncle again. He is the person with enough experience and knowledge about your carrier to guide you to a title again. With him, we know you would do a lot better in the Packiao fight. All your fans know that Miguel Cotto and Evengelista are the right couple to bet in any fight. Think about it, mostly for your father, that we know he wanted reconciliation.
