    Do boxers train/condition their body to resist the hardest punch of the opponent? Or is it not possible to reach that point of conditioning?

    Unlike a weak chin which experts say it's in the genes, shouldn't building up your body muscles to take body shots something they could control?

    If they still get ko by a body shot, is it fair to say they didn't train enough?

    No steel six-pack or obliques can protect a fighter from a perfectly placed solar plexus punch or liver shot, BB

    A side-show performer can tighten his abs against a punch or a sledge hammer he knows is coming. A fighter can't always do that.

    All being in good shape can do is allow a fighter to recover quicker.

    IIRC Ali used to have sparring partners target his ribs.
