training for body punches

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?

 

Obviously..

Out of topic but Mayweather conditions his neck/chin by lifting light weights with his neck. Iron Chin #MoneyTeam

 

anne wolfe implements that kind of training on kirkland

 

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.
