    Because Usyk isn't a big stiff 75 year old idiot?

    Because Uysk and Pulev are different fighters? With a noticeable gap in skill?

    Because, duh, Usyk is light years better than Pulev and didn't allow him to

    Why didn't Joshua ko Usyk the way he did Gary Cornish.

    It's baffling indeed.

    Simple answer to a simple question because Pulev isn't Usyk.

    Femi couldn't figure Usyk out over 24 rounds. Should hang up to let others have a go.

    Because Usyk is a fast, accurate, super-southpaw who keeps the punches coming, sometimes the left cross, sometimes the right hook, from different angles, and Pulev is a big, stiff punching bag.

    Because Joshua got paid to lose the fight. Trump paid him to lose. And Putin paid off the refs and judges.

    Because Usyk is levels above both

    But Aj is no good anyway. Pulev could beat him now
