I think Cotto would mop Gomez with the quickness.
I also think Cotto could mop Cintron with the quickness too.
Williams and Margarito would be a little tougher for various reasons and styles.
Cotto beats down on ODLH and sends him packing in 7.

This may be somewhat unrealistic today thanks to the fighters who only want to fight for money rather than fight the best to prove who is the best and cement a solid foundation to their legacy. If we built a house on Floyd's foundation today, the house would fall. lol

In closing, Cotto has said he wants to fight at least 4 times per year, so I am not that far off the mark because Gomez is no threat and ODLH isn't either and I have added them into the equation.
Danny it has nothing to do with the ease of Cotto getting through fights. I think Cotto will walk through almost all of his opponents. It is just how long it seems to take fights to be made. The talks, the negotiations, the distant fight date, injuries, etc. Even if he KO'd all his opponents in the first, I don't think he could get to 5 fights.
Agreed 100% CC

Top class fighters probably fight 3 times a year at most.

Prospects fight a lot more but not World Champions. Too difficult to make the fights.
