The only thing I don't agree with in your post is the world champion part. He has not achieved that yet in my eyes. He is only a belt holder. But there are opportunities there for Cotto the win World Championships & become an ATG
Right, title holder/title champion.
I consider him a World Champion.
If you notice when he beat SSM, he (SSM) was the WBC Interim champ. this means that PBF opted to fight Hatton and thus he didn't fight SSM.
So in part you can say he also holds a part of the WBC strap with PBF.
I don't like getting too into the political part of the sport cause with every little thing you'll open up a whole nother can of worms....
Be as it may Cottos argueably #1 in the top 5 Welters and is also Ring Mag. top 10 which speaks volumes.

I sent some Rep. your way for always bringing up a good talk....
