MOS:FLAG states that "flags should only indicate the sportsperson's national squad/team or representative nationality". As far as I can determine from this and other boxing articles, boxers do not represent a country in any sense, and thus the flags cannot be used in the list of matches. Use of flags there violates WP:NPOV, because it over-represents the importance of nationality in a person's identity. As such, I have removed the flag icons.

Boxing is an Olympic sport and Miguel Cotto represented Puerto Rico at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Though as a professional I agree he doesnt represent a country in any sense other than symbolically. nableezy - 22:29, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I actually agree, but this is probably something that should be discussed with the boxing WikiProject, since the list of current champions features flags (quite heavily). - Caribbean~H.Q. 05:28, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, even the source next to his birthplace states the Miguel Cotto was born in Rhode Island. Rebelplutarch (talk) 04:21, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, Miguel Cotto is not only a truly great Champion, but he is a man of great passion, and integrity! I have watched him grow to the top of his chosen profession. Win, or lose, he is always a true gentleman!
I know in my heart that if he decides to fight Conello Alvarez, he will prevail! HE will win with experience,.power, and general ring savvy!
