well generally a naturally bigger guy will have larger viens, better blood flow, a more solid neck and even skull
A fat guys whos 250 on a middleweight frame won't take a better shot than a 160 lb middleweight with no fat though.Comment

I imagine a bigger guy will have a lot more body surface (even around the neck and shoulder area) in which to distribute the force of the punch so I reckon it might make some difference but not a huge difference.Comment

Obviously a lil boy hittin you ain't gonna hurt as bad as a grownass man hittin you. In boxing, if you got a soft jaw, bein bigger might help you in terms of not gettin moved by punches, but it won't stop you from gettin hurt.Comment

sometimes...
for instance a 115 lb pro boxer would take a punch better than the average 200 lb guy
but if it were two normal people with that weight difference than the heavier guy would likely take the punch betterComment

Yes if you're heavier you can take a better punch. That's why we have weight divisions in Boxing.Comment
