Except Pernell was pretty damn aggressive. He fought off the back foot and had excellent defense, but he had a high work rate.

He doesn't go into fights looking to brawl and go blow for blow. Furthermore, Marquez is very intelligent and able to make adjustments on the fly. Does he get hit a lot? Yes he does, but he's still a very good boxer, wouldn't you agree?
According to your OP, boxing is "hit and not get hit". So how can JMM be a good boxer if he gets hit soo much?

And people don't appreciate boxing because they don't like his style? pa-lease! Boxing is a sport Of endless styles! His style does not represent boxing
*Stamps with the dumbass stamp several times*
How dare you, sir?
Pernell wasn't beaten convincingly until he was past his prime...
