That's my only point, just because he was from the same camp and is a pressure fighter like Margarito doesn't mean he's going to do the job effectively.
This match-up turns on whether Cotto can still take a punch and how easily he cuts. Angulo knows only one way to fight or as El Terrible says: he is one dimensional. However, Angulo can drop bombs and I'm not sure Cotto can withstand them. Even against Foreman who is not a puncher in any sense of the word, a few of his straight right hands seemed to affect Cotto, imagine if an Angulo right hand managed its way in there?

Pre-Margarito/Pacquiao Cotto - I'd give Cotto the nod. Now, I like Angulo to steamroll through him. Stopping in the mid-late rounds.
he looked more surprised than anything, Foreman's best shot was the straight right in around the 5th, and Cotto didn't wobble, wasn't stunned or anything, Angulo has power, but he's no one punch ko artist by any means, most of his wins against decent opposition have come down the stretch, IMO with superior movement and his effective counter punching, Cotto will basically circle Angulo while popping off the jab and counter him to the body and upstairs

another thing about Angulo is he doesn't use his height, he fights slouched, basically losing any height or reach advantage he'd normally have, and he's not really one to throw straight shots, i'd pick Cotto UD or late stoppage
