The Physiology of Punch Resistance

[Slugfester]

The only thing I feel confident in is that huge heads seem to be able to absorb punches better. I don't know if its shape is important too.

The challenge is to find us a pinhead who can really take a punch. Are there some? I don't think so, but I don't know either. Maybe I would get surprised.

First of all, a large skull is supposed to be thicker. On the other hand, why waste material and make a tiny skull thick.

My conjecture is that modern tiny human skulls are naturally thinner too. This is similar to a mathematical conjecture: you only need to find one counterexample to prove the conjecture wrong.


Please help me find such a pinhead boxer, will you, or prove me wrong?

I always thought the logic was having a smaller neck or no neck.

It takes a monster neck to support a monster head, is the logic, son. Lamotta would break his own neck and break it good without it built up. You think not?

A Neanderthal's brain was precious to him.

Marvin Hagler seemed to have a small head and a long average neck. One of the best 'chins' ever, and his actual chin/jaw was small too.

I'm not sure there is a consistent physical built for punch resistance. We seem to know for sure that Mexicans and Samoans have an above average consistency in punch resistance, perhaps something to look into there.

That's a good point. Of course pinheads are harder to hit (with the smaller head and all). I even know of a pinhead who missed when he tried to kill himself with a .44.

I know a "guy," was a mistake, Latifah. What does one call you anyway? What is your pronoun?
