Why do people call cotto "king Cotto", seriously

cotto used to be a ****in beast, lol, he obliverated everybody(except ricardo torres who fought well but still lost to cotto), lol, that time(in those 140 and lower), he did deserve the nickname "king cotto", lol, but ever since margarito ****ed his azz up(with cheating), lol, cotto lost something and became a glorified shell of his former self, lol, he was a glorified former great champ that couldnt beat any big name fighter, lol, he arguably lost to mosley and clottey, lol, he looked like sh1t vs glorified journeyman mayorga(mayorga sukks), lol, and the belts he won were vs handicaps and gimps with bad ****in knees(martinez and foreman), lol, he did avenge the beatdown margarito gave him but margarito was handicapped because pacquiao destroyed tonis eyeballs, lol, then we add cottos humiliating defeat to a noname journeyman named austin trout, lol, that is ****in embarassing, lol, trout got recognition in boxing for his destruktion of cotto, lol, cottos last great win was vs a nobody named delvin rodriguez(cotto took his sorry azz out easily - which he was supposed to do), lol i dont know why but for some reason people suddenly started to call cotto "king cotto", at 147 and up, he has stopped fighting at the elite level at times and has looked wrecklessly, lol, a shell of his former self, lol, but still , lol, people glorified this future hall of famer with a nickname King cotto, lol, he doesnt deserve that title in years, lol, what has he done lately to deserve that title, lol, is it cause he beat up a gimping no legged sergio martinez, lol, or is it the way he fought valiantly vs mayweather, lol, i dont like cotto but he was a beast , lol, hes a first ballot hall of famer and one of the best of this era but how come(cotto got the nickname king cotto) this late in his career, lol, he didnt earn it, is it a sign of respect to a great champion, lol, or is that you guys believe cotto still is at the elite level, lol, i dont ****in know, lol, i respect cotto but i hate this glorification he gets like "king cotto", lol:puppy_dog

"El Chino" references Maidana's Asian features. Chino means Chinese. I think. Retired by his own daughter. How embarrassing for Mr. Bricks indeed. It certainly does, chino means Chinese in Spanish and he got the nickname due to the slanty eyes.

El means The right. So basically his nickname is The Angel. An angel doesn't sound like a king, but an Angel is above a king. Dissecting nicknames is fun. So that means in English, Maidana's nickname means The Pants. Because Chino's are pants "El Chino" references Maidana's Asian features. Chino means Chinese. I think. His other nickname is Margarito's nina or mija. Retired by his own daughter. How embarrassing for Mr. Bricks indeed.

Nickname he had growing up. He never was announced by it in the ring after his early years. He then went by his middle name "Angel" and then changed to "El Angel" before the Floyd fight. I think KING Cotto sounds good and is easy to say. El means The right. So basically his nickname is The Angel. An angel doesn't sound like a king, but an Angel is above a king.

King actually makes the most sense for Arthur Abraham. After all it is a nickname. King Arthur. Sounds fitting. Mayweather has many nicknames. On Boxrec, It says Cotto's nickname is Junito and IDK what the hell that means. Nickname he had growing up. He never was announced by it in the ring after his early years.

I thought he was TBE or something? Cotto is the KING. Khan, Molina, and Abraham should change their nicknames. King actually makes the most sense for Arthur Abraham. After all it is a nickname.

Arthur Abraham is LOL. There's only one king in boxing and he is the P4P King Floyd Mayweather. I thought he was TBE or something? Cotto is the KING. Khan, Molina, and Abraham should change their nicknames.

i know you have , lol, i know youve always been a good fan from thick and thin , lol, like my question posed though, it was weird that this nikkname finally became official during cottos declining years, lol, your answer to my question i guess is you call cotto king outta respect and some of your own reasons that you havent said maybe, only you know, lol:boxing: Well as most everyone knows he rarely goes by his nickname and doesn't request to be introduced by it every time he goes into the ring. KING Cotto is short, simple, and 100% accurate. He is the lineal MW and WBC MW champion, former WBA JMW champ, former WBO and WBA WW champion, and former WBO JWW champ. He's always in the top 3 of whatever his division he campaigns in. He's also my childhood hero and the fighter that introduced me to this sport. That's why I defend him so adamantly. Even over the most insignificant things. :lol1: Hope that clears up why I call him that. The fact that it's catching on with his fans is just a cherry on top.

El Angel made it up as a new way to nosh off Cotto. I slagged him endlessly for it because Cotto had only won vacant titles, lost most of his big fights and never been the "King" of any division. Then Cotto only goes and wins the fkin lineal Middleweight title. FML :lol1: :lol1: Cotto is KING. :kiss:
