I think this is true. But would if of made a difference in the Pacquiao fight? No.

here's another example of a athlete playing with a injury...

tom brady had a foot injury for much of this season but played with the injury instead of having surgery right away because of all the games he was gonna have to miss if he had the surgery.

the mistake cotto made was not having the surgery done when the injury happened. he doesn't have to box every day or week so he could've took the time to heal after surgery.

maybe, maybe not but if he would have gotten the surgery done back when he got hurt he would have been better off in his future fights.
