I do all of the above exercises for my neck/traps and like the feel and appearance of a strong neck. At the same time, if your neck is too big, stiff and bulky, your neck won't have the give that is needed to absorb the blows, and this can lead to being knocked out. If you have the luxury of seeing a shot coming in, especially to your chin or jaw where your head will get twisted, the best thing to do is relax and go with it...easier said than done.
