No, stupid.
Boxing is about hitting and not getting hit. I think this (along with Floyd vs Corrales) is one of the best examples of the sweet science. Pernell giving JCC a boxing lesson and getting robbed of a victory.
It's easy to be slick against inferior opposition, but at 87-0 at the time JCC was one of the greatest pressure fighters we've ever seen. He was also one of the best finishers with 74 KO's in those 87 wins.
Brilliant performance.
