Miguel Angel Canto Solis, noto solamente come Miguel Canto (Mérida, 30 gennaio 1948), è un ex pugile messicano, Campione mondiale lineare e WBC dei pesi mosca dal 1975 al 1979.Professionista dal 1969, rappresentò uno di quei rari casi nella storia della boxe in cui, come accadde anche ad Alexis Argüello, Henry Armstrong, Bernard Hopkins, un pugile iniziò la carriera con una sconfitta per diventare in seguito campione del mondo.Ebbe la prima chance di combattere per la cintura mondiale il 4 agosto del 1973, a Maracaibo, contro il venezuelano Betulio González per il titolo WBC allora vacante. Canto, che combatteva per la prima volta all'estero, riuscì a concludere tutte le quindici riprese e perse soltanto con verdetto contrastato, in casa del più esperto avversario, già detentore del titolo.Ottenne una seconda chance l'8 gennaio 1975, contro il nuovo campione mondiale WBC Shōji Oguma, sul ring di Sendai. Batté il giapponese ai punti in quindici round e conquistò la cintura mondiale e lo status di campione lineare .Alla prima difesa il messicano affrontò quel Betulio González da cui era stato battuto a Maracaibo nel 1973. Il match si svolse nella Plaza de Toros Monumentál di Monterey, in Messico. Canto si prese la rivincita su González battendolo ai punti in quindici riprese, ma uno dei tre giudici aveva visto vincitore il venezuelano, anche se per un solo punto. Seguirono altre tredici difese vittoriose. Il 23 agosto 1975 sconfisse Jiro Takada per knock-out tecnico all’11º round. Il panamense Ignacio Espinal cedette invece ai punti in quindici riprese. Il 15 maggio 1976 Canto batté ai punti l’altro giapponese Susumu Hanagata. Fu allestito allora un terzo incontro con Betulio González che terminò nuovamente con la vittoria ai punti del messicano, sul ring avverso di Caracas. Un mese dopo, Canto mantenne la cintura mondiale contro Orlando Javierto, a Los Angeles, sempre ai punti.
