Why did Joshua never throw this right hand bomb against Usyk

I've never seen another fighter where so many fans and people involved within the game (mostly British ones) choose to focus on not what the fighter did right and what they allowed their opponent to do but rather what their opponent didn't do or didn't do right. No one did this when Floyd outboxed his opponents and they weren't able to land with their shots or like they usually did against other fighters. It was because of his skills and defence.

Usyk is just an amazing fighter and he has a great defence and even if you penetrate it he has an iron chin and the shots will just bounce off of it. AJ threw loads of right hands and he landed a number of them. Dubois threw many and some off them landed, same with Chisora and Belly and they just bounced off of him.

Dubois was badly hurt, dropped x 2 and stopped. Belly was badly hurt, dropped and was saved from being stopped by the ref. AJ was hurt a number of times and in desperate trouble at the final bell of the first fight. And even Chisora was hurt a bit at the end of round 7 or 8. But Usyk can't punch according to many even though all of them are way bigger and heavier than him.

Narratives again. Narratives which grow wings despite them having no basis in reality

 

Probably because he might have to worry about what might be coming his way. Levels, people.

 

Against some clown who basically had never boxed? Of course not, that precisely why he blew whatshisname away.

 

Don't think it was a case of him getting hit ''a lot.'' He took his fair share of hits but I think it was more a case of him marking up quite easily and getting hit by much bigger and heavier men and even when you block punches with a high guard you're going to get marked up when you're facing big punchers and much bigger and heavier fighters.

Also IIRC one of those cuts (against AJ) was caused by a head clash

And AJ worse puncher's gloves too
