Well cotto does weigh in around 160, which is the same approximate weight as margarito and clottey.

Cotto

Despite the weight difference they are pretty much equal. Now if you stack up pacman vs margarito, not only is there a weight difference but there is a huge advantage in height & reach for margarito.
So pacman has a greater chance of winning against a "smaller" welterweight like cotto or shane mosley or Floyd mayweather. IMO cotto with his size should ideally be at jr. welterweight, which is why he will always struggle with bigger powerful welters.
