It is not not correct that one pund of pure cotton weighs over one pound of pure gold because pounds is a measurement of wight. However, a measurement of mass, like grams, could make it seem like this because mass is often confused with weight. Weight would be different on another planet because the gravity is pulling you down more. However, mass, a measure of desity and inertia, would stay the same.
A pound of cotton is heavier than a pound of gold as the pure cotton is weighed by avoirdupois pound. That consists of 16 ounces. whereas gold being a metal is weighed by troy pound. Its equivalent to 12 ounces.
