It depends which ton you use.
In the UK 1 ton = 1 long ton = 2240 lb → a ton of steel weighs more than 2000 lb of cotton.
In the US 1 ton = 1 short ton = 2000 lb → both are the same
(A "metric ton", or "tonne" is 1000 kg which is approx 2205 lb, a little less than 1 long ton.)

What weighs more ton of cotton or ton of nails?
Last answer: "Depends of how you weigh them. A ton of cotton could weigh more than a ton of nails." Not true! A ton (2000 lbs) is just a ton. 1 thing that weighs exactly 2000 pounds, cant weigh more or less than another thing that weighs exactly 2000 pounds. This is very simple! How did you get this wrong? Or maybe he/she was referring to the fact that there are at least 3 different types of tons. I am not sure. Well anyway, the point is that they were wrong, and the question now has a correct, acceptable answer. :P
