Cotto backs Tszyu

Miguel Cotto has backed light-welterweight kingpin Kostya Tszyu to knock out Ricky Hatton in what he believes will be a “one-sided fight”.

Unbeaten Englishman Hatton faces the fight of his career on June 4 when he takes on the undisputed world champion in front of his army of fans at the MEN Arena.

Despite home advantage, the odds will be against Hatton when he takes on Russian-born Australian Tszyu, one of the world’s top pound-for-pound fighters.

But WBO title holder Cotto, also undefeated in 23 bouts, believes WBU champion Hatton will be casually brushed aside by the 35-year-old IBF and WBC supremo.
