I must say : Larry the legend Donald, Kevin kingpin Johnson was essentially a safety pin lol. And Ricardo Mayorga: it is to my understanding that a matador is graceful, but a bull he was like running loose in a China shop, so "toro" (unless matador means bull in spanish then I'm dead wrong) those are the three I can think of
Hector "Macho" Camacho. Don't get me wrong Camacho was tough and was never stopped in his career but his style of fighting is far from what I would consider "macho". That term fits with someone like Roberto Duran or Julio Cesar Chavez.
Carl "The Cobra" Froch. When I think of Cobra I think of fast, technical, and finesse with viper-like precision like Ezzard Charles, Thomas Hearns and Donald Curry. Froch is the exact opposite. The Python would be more fitting.
Ricky hitman Hatton, suited Hearns far more cause he was like a sniper looking to hit a target Hatton never had one punch KO power.
I think Mayorga's matador had other links, to his past gang ties. Really it just means "the killer." He fought like a killer. Super Brian Nielsen. Super pile of dog excro that career was. I just watched his fight vs. Bonecrusher Smith, and he headbutted Smith's face off and the corrupt refs called it a TKO because Smith was complaining his face was broken due to an obvious headbutt. Total sham. I guess he was Super horrible and Super untalented and Super corrupt and had the body of a Super used car salesman. The safety pin is a great call lol. Hurricane Peter McNeeley.
James "Bone crusher" Smith, 52% KO ratio, yet apparently one of the hardest hitters of all time according to h2h experts.
On the one hand, Bobby Chacon was a student at Cal-Northridge when he turned pro. But in the greater sense of how we think of the word, Bobby was no “Schoolboy.”
Darnell " Ding-A- Ling" Wilson Not sure if this nick name fits any boxer to be honest, kind of weird.
