I doubt that he can contract them hard enough to either through a punch properly or (not that you should make a habbit of it ) absorb a blow with out getting winded.

The amount of fat on top of the abs is not a measurement of how efficient they are. When you lie under a blanket in bed, no one can see your muscles... do you suddenly loose your strength?
good point, oddly enough a layer of fat can actually help you absorb body shot believe it or not ! being that you have the underlying muscle fibers ! Good post !
