      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.

      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.

                  It certainly does, chino means Chinese in Spanish and he got the nickname due to the slanty eyes.

                    People called him "king cotto" before that so no
