So let’s say you have a guy with a normal build, a person with more belly fat and a person with large abs. They all get punched in the stomach. Who is worse off, and why so?

Fat is absolutely a protective barrier. That’s literally one of it’s major functions in living things and in more subtle ways than you might think. Fat, in it’s various forms, works as an insulator, a protective barrier, and an energy store. I’m sure there are many more functions one could point to, but it definitely works to absorb physical trauma.
