It was because he put on weight to fight Tyson and then Tyson pulled out. He then had to lose a ton of weight fast for Perry
"But Paul had boasted of piling on the weight while he was preparing to face Tyson and claimed to weigh as much as 230lb. That left him with a considerable weight cut when Perry stepped in - and Paul needed two bites of the cherry at Friday's official weigh-in"
Really Paul won while weight drained. No matter what you think of the guy he out-skilled Perry. Paul was at least evading most of Perry's punches. A lot of fighters really do have crap skills, they just get by on natural advantages e.g power, speed or iron chins. Until that doesn't work...
