A good defense helps any boxer but some boxers just don't take a punch to the jaw as well as others and some boxers take a punch better than others. It's something they can't change much. It's not a matter of will power it's a matter of punch resistance and some boxers just naturally have more than others.Also some boxers can be hurt but recover quickly while others stay hurt a long time and get finished off. Khan has a fairly weak chin combined with poor powers of recovery.Judah had poor recovery powers as did Terry Norris. These guys might be saved by the bell but they were still hurt in the next round. Trinidad could be knocked down but had amazing recovery powers. He would be up without a count and back on the attack. Canelo and GGG have iron jaws and have never been down and rarely staggered. Price goes down sometimes from punches that aren't very hard. Some good boxers do have glass jaws. They may have a good defense but sooner or later a good puncher will land clean on their jaw and down they go and they don't recover and they get knocked out.
