subtitled version, Mané Galinha is instead called  "Knockout Ned". Mané Galinha means "Chicken Manuel" in Portuguese.  Because his real name is Manuel and he stole chickens. But in the  US, "chicken" is slang for "coward". To avoid that connotation, the  name Knockout Ned was created because "knockout" refers to how  handsome he was as compared to the "ugly" Little Zé.
