That’s actually a key plot point. Mark comes back more durable every time he gets his ass put in hospital. What doesn’t kill him literally makes him stronger. Because he is constantly losing to galactic level threats instead of working with them, eventually he becomes the strongest one out there.
(Also that scene meant to imply he had to quit acting like it was a boxing match and get vicious if he wanted to live)
Mark, like other Viltrumites, trains, and gets more powerful with age. Beatings just hurt, they don’t do anything for his powers.
Allen, on the other hand, works like a Dragon Ball Saiyan, getting significantly stronger after each beating (and the closer he gets to dying the stronger he comes back).

And he still lost because he wasn’t vicious enough
You’re confusing Mark and Allen.
Mark, like other Viltrumites, trains, and gets more powerful with age. Beatings just hurt, they don’t do anything for his powers.

No, I’m not. It’s the same for both. Just not so obvious early on for Mark. He ends up the strongest before he hits 40 because of this.
