You're all absurdly wrong, in my opinion anyhow. I back this theory up with my own experiences and "Chris Jones' (a writer for Esquire and Grantland) Liver Punch" prognosis.
First off, you have no tolerance for searing, seething, unnoticably delayed pain if you take a legitimate kick to the testicles like the current 'Anti-Gamestop' guy, (Who takes kicks in the nuts for $8 a pop, replying with each kick "It's still not as bad as being ripped off by Gamestop.) I've taken multiple kicks to the crotch, and never had more than two to three minutes, to endure the ensuing pain. However, I've been hit perfectly in the solar plexus and liver, leaving me writhing in pain on the ground for at least six minutes. It's absolutely excruciating and a kick to the "family jewels" doesn't even compare to either gasping for air or wishing for someone to kick you in the face to knock you out, thus derailing you from the pain of a perfect body shot.
Secondly, Being punched in the small portion of the liver that protrudes from the lower half of your right ribcage, "a.k.a. The 'Real' sweet spot", WILL drop you to your knees pleading for a kick to the nuts to distract you from the actuality that is LEGITIMATE PAIN. I give you a tidbit of the record--
"Those many people don't know. I've taken a five-finger death punch like that, and let me tell you how it feels: A punch like that causes all sorts of strange satellite pain, express-delivered by your scrambled, panicking nervous system. You can feel a punch like that in the arches of your feet, in your balls, in your back, in your eyes. A punch like that somehow leaves you gasping for air and feeling as though you're full of air all at once. A punch like that makes you feel, frankly, like you're going to s**t your trunks. But more than anything else, a punch like that puts a terrible picture in your head: You can see this black, spreading stain just under your skin, all of your body's essentials bleeding out and filling spaces where they don't have any business. A punch to the head can make you feel dizzy or woozy or sleepy, but it doesn't hurt, exactly. A punch like that one, like the one Hopkins slipped into De La Hoya, makes you feel as though you're about to die."
Your breath escapes the same way, as if you had been bounced on a trampoline by six people, causing you to hit the ground. (I can relate, as it's happened to me, leaving you gasping for air, but incapable of breathing in before exhaling every possible, single fraction of air.) You fold over in pain immediately, as if every muscle in your stomach and ribs are convulsing simultaneously, and you groan so loud, the sound is similar to vomiting. As you lie there, gasping for what little air you can manage to get in, every muscle besides the ones previously mentioned start to tighten so hard, you can't even grasp the fact that you're side-rolling in agony.
I rest my case. Feel free to debate the issue further.
Trust me, No testicle-shot compares to a perfect blow to the body. If you don't believe me, go youtube these videos and watch the expression on the faces of the recipients.
