What's hareder to take a punch to the head or chin?

Chin is the weak spot.

 

Body is harder than both IMO. A perfect bodyshot cripples ANYONE - not always the case for a head or chin shot.

But to the threadstarter: China Chin and Glass Jaw aren't terms which apply specifically to punches to the chin and jaw, they just mean a guy's ability to absorb/take punches to the head/face. If someone got KO'd by a right jab to the nose, someone couldn't then say he doesn't have a weak chin because he wasn't hit on the chin or that he doesn't have a Glass Jaw because he wasn't hit on the jaw.

 

You would never see someone KO Roy Jones, Shane Mosley or Floyd Mayweather with a body shot.

 

That's because they know how to defend. A world-class bodypuncher can KO anyone though, if he catches them perfectly. Mayweather was badly hurt to the body by Castillo, a broke rib if I recall correctly. Imagine he had been in with Chavez??

 

Temple shots are pretty hard to take.

Amir Khan was decked by little more than a slap by Michael Gomez to the temple. Yet he absorbed some pretty tasty work to the body - despite being clueless on the inside.

 

Generally a head shot does not hurt - it just scrambles your legs a little.

Body shots do hurt though.

Whenever you see a body shot stoppage, you can see the pain on their screwed up faces.

Yet often a head-shot stoppage usually has the defeated boxer complaining he is fine to the ref.

 

Oh really?

OK, I was wrong!!

 

even a liver shot won't hurt him

 

no one can take a liver shot

 

In my experience getting hit on the head or even the chin is worse in the morning than live!

Bodyshots just plain hurt.

 

It depends. A shot on the temple can hurt anyone even if they have an Iron Chin.

Having a Glass Jaw is perhaps the most embarrassing thing in Boxing.
