Actually... yes, it is. Look what Marquez does to Manny, he turns him and throws a three punch combo. Sure, Margarito is a lot slower and dumber than Manny but Cotto's power more than makes up for it. I mean seriously, if the fights at 150 you are going to tell me 5 pounds of muscle isn't going to make a difference? Not to mention how much better his stamina would be and he would have a better gameplan. I'll say this, the first time they fought when Cotto had no trainer or confidence 2 pounds was enough. Now that he has all of the above, THEY ARE THE ONES ASKING for Cotto in the first place but now he has to drop 7 pounds?
Not to mention Manny isn't the same monster he was in his DLH/Hatton/Cotto terror, that kind of monster is gone. While the boxing IQ and ability has gotten much better for Cotto. No one is saying it would be easy but at 150+ beating Floyd or not I'm going to favor Cotto over Manny.
