There is no single way in which BoxingScene writers and editors conceive of or commission articles. Sometimes - fight week previews, for example - the themes are obvious. Sometimes, they're obscure. Sometimes, they're the result of random observations in a group WhatsApp chat. “The 25th anniversary of Mosley-De La Hoya is coming up.”“So is the 50th anniversary of “Jaws.” That means as much time elapsed between “Jaws” and that fight as between that fight and now.

In any instance of bull versus matador, the expectation to produce skill and a bit of panache lies squarely at the feet of the matador. It is they, not the bull, who are expected to impress the audience with both the speed of their feet and their intelligence and it is they who will then receive the audience’s acclaim for killing the bull and staying alive. The bull, by contrast, is simply acting out its nature.

When Walker Smith Jnr borrowed the amateur card of his friend, Ray Robinson, he could not have known that Ray Robinson would become the name by which he would forever be remembered. Nor for that matter could Smith/Robinson have predicted that being described as “sweet as sugar” after a fight in New York in 1939 would result in yet another name – this time a nickname – becoming a part of both his legacy and the sport’s lexicon. But it’s true. All of it.
