Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto has no doubt Australia champion Kostya Tszyu will knock out Ricky Hatton when they meet on June 4 to contest the IBF and WBC light-welterweight world titles.
Cotto the WBO champion said, "It is a one-sided fight. Tszyu should win easily before the seventh round. He's too strong and has too much experience. Tszyu has also fought a higher calibre of opposition."
The 35 year old Russian born Australian Tszyu said, "Ricky has fought some great fighters but he will find that I am another level above them," he said.
"It is a great challenge for Ricky and he has got guts to step up and take the challenge. I have fought some great champions and I respect all my opponents."
