    your reply only solidifies my original statement. It's all good...........Rockin'
    About 10lbs Rockin, it would take some pop to ko a guy with a head 3.5lbs heavier than that.

      Big legs = better punch resistance.

      When a fighter gets hurt his legs buckle because they cant handle the extra weight the body carries from absorbing the impact of the punch.

      So the bigger and stronger the legs are the better punch resistance a fighter will have.

        I always felt it was your neck, the muscles that would work against the shock after you get hit. But definitely genetics, meaning even though people do neck exercises, they may not have the resistance of other who were just born that way.

            Very true, just like power and speed. You can maximize those attributes nut if you are not naturally born with them you're not going to have exceptional results like le ones born withe gifts will.

                McGregor seems to think so

                  Of course. Look at GGG.... Now that's a head Conor would respect!

                  Makes me think of DK Mode, for anyone who played Goldeneye 64 with a Gameshark...

                    I'd say it's more to do with the thickness and fluidity of the lipids in the cell membranes of your neurons as well as the number of sodium-potassium ion channels per cell.

                    Or it could just be whether or not you've got a big head.

                      Yes, but conditioning is most important. When khan was supremely conditioned his chin was a lot better, also look at marvin hagler.
