Nobody puts more pressure on an opponent then Hatton does thats his whole game, He smothers you. If oyu would watch the first Castillo fight, Castillo whole key to success was not putting on ridiculous pressure. Castillo was coming in, not throwing punches and he really gave Floyd problems because Floyd is better when his opponent comes in throwing punches, but Castillo was taking his time and using a more Cotto type approach against mayweather where he ignored the head and went to the body mostly, but he cut off the ring effectively which Margarito has never done, and he was a lot faster than Margarito and threw way more accurate punches.
Also what about Sosa, he had just almost taken off Spadafora's head before he fought Mayweather. He was different fighter when he fought Mayweather, and Mayweahter hits way harder at 147 then he did at 135. Besides, Cotto wouldn't be able to take COtto's power so why are you assuming that Sosa's chin isn't better than Cotto's? Another guy Ndou who regardless of his chin came forward throwing a ton of punches against Mayweather had Margarito's height, also had good power, but Mayweahter was able to dodge almost everything, and Mayweather was fighting aggresively that fight.
