    I think it has more to do with neck thickness

    You rarely see guys with thick necks get knocked out cold. TKO'd but not put to sleep.

      Yes I have a massive head and have never been hurt serious at the boxing gym or in any street fight. Bigger head= bigger jaw muscles and a stronger neck to support your heavier head which will help cushion punches.

        Having a strong neck and jaw help by doing exercises. You see FLoyd d****d over the ring lifting weights with his neck? That's to lower the shock of punches.

              Better fighters would never have ko'd me anyway due to how thick and strong my neck is having to support the weight of my 13.5lb head

                I have no idea how heavy a normal head is.

                your reply only solidifies my original statement. It's all good...........Rockin'

                    absolutely


                    do bigger guys have bigger heads or smaller heads than smaller guys?
                    bigger heads


                    obviously that's not all there is to it
                    and some smaller guys can take a better punch than some bigger guys, but on the whole you'll absolutely find bigger heads on bigger guys and bigger guys taking a better shot


                    i will say this, the ratio of head size compared to the rest of the body goes down as men get larger

                    for their size, the smaller guys have much larger heads, and the HW have tiny little heads compared to their huge bodies

                      A large head weighs more so it would take more force to move it, but if put into motion that means the numbers are larger so the force would end up larger on the brain i.e. more chance of getting bounced off the skull.
