    Robinson wasn´t a matador. He was a butcher.



    3rd. I´m a big Tiger fan but what Giardello did there was magic.

    Also, a C-Level example and certainly not great fighters, but David Diaz/Kendal Holt is a great bull/matador match-up.

    Holt was thought highly of at one time but never had the mental strength to keep it all together. A very poor mans Roy Jones.

    Holt was on that night however and absolutely tooled Diaz, great dissection

    Robinson, Leonard, Toney, Holmes are all not really "matadors". All of them did not box their opponent, they fought and counterpunched them more. That´s something different.
