Can Mumen rider resist a S Class hero punch?


So Tank Top Master was about to hit Garou, Mumen Rider got in the middle and
he received the punch for him, and he wasnt knocked out. I thought Mumen Rider
was a weakling who didnt want to be promoted to B Class because he wasnt good
enough (besides being his most powerful move throwing his bicycle to someone
says a lot about how powerful he is) , but then, how could he resist a punch
from Tank Top Master?




For me, the answer is yes.

He represents this hero of society that we often see in the Shonen. The kind
of person born without particular talent, but to whom we are all related. It
represents the normal human being, without power, but with determination. A
kind of Saitama missed.

But he's got a strong resistance linked to his determination. We can see this
in **Episode 9 of Season 1** : He conceded Deep Sea King's blow and he
remained conscious (he was still breathingafter that. Saitama caught him, but
if Saitama was not here, after some break time, he would have stood up to
fight Deep Sea King again. **And Deep Sea King is seen as a S-Class Hero.**

**Another point** is that it is indeed weird that Mumen Rider remained
conscious after a whiplash from Tank Top Master. **Even Garoh took more
damages than him** after such a punch. For me, the reason is that **Tank Top
Master had to hold back at the last minute** , hearing the cry of Mumen Rider.
