Vaya Con Dios, Cotto Sr.!

Miguel Cotto, Sr., the charismatic father of former two-time world champion Miguel 'I'm No Angel" Cotto, passed away last Sunday, January 3, in Puerto Rico. He reportedly died of a heart attack and has been known to have suffered heart disease and asthma for years.

He was 57 years old.

The elder Cotto was last seen in Las Vegas, during his son Miguel Angel's title defense against Manny Pacquiao. He implored his son to stop the fight and tried to save him from further punishment. The father and son tandem were very close.

Boxers' Camp sincerely extends its condolences to the Cotto family in this time of sadness and bereavement.
