Boxing News Readers’ Awards: Fighter of the Year Number 1

HERE he is. Your choice for Fighter of the Year, 2014.

Puerto Rican superstar Miguel Cotto has been consigned to the scrapheap more than once during his illustrious career but each time he has proved the doubters wrong.

The 34-year-old became the first Puerto Rican to win world titles in four weight classes when he shocked world middleweight king Sergio Martinez in June.

Martinez was regarded as one of the leaders of the game, and most believed he’d be too big and fast for Cotto. But nothing of the sort transpired, as Cotto proved he remains one of boxing’s best via emphatic 10th round beat-down.
