But if Mayweather took an easy fight people would be barking to high heaven that he is ducking Cotto.

Cotto gets an easy fight and its because "he's earned it"

And if a Cotto fan tells me "thats different.. Mayweather is the number one p4p and Cotto just got here" then you're basically admitting that Floyd can't duck Cotto because you're admitting Cotto aint ready
I don't think there's anything wrong with Cotto fighting Gomez. It's a good fight that will get him some more exposure with casual fans at least.

Cotto shouldn't be judged as critically as Floyd as he's 4 or 5 years behind him in career terms.

Floyd has fought a few less than impressive names in his career, Henry Brusseles is the most noticable.

I think Cotto has done a superb job since moving upto welter and I don't mind the Gomez fight one bit.
