I initially meant to point this detail out, and I briefly did unto myself in my post, but I left it out, post-scrap.
Sure the fist is a smaller, and therefore, more of a concentrated, oncoming force, than say, the whole a lower leg (shin, fibula, tibia area) to the body, but it really merits lengthy testing upon multiple subjects to determine which hurts the most; either a more condensed impact, or a more wider, dampening blow.
It really depends on your conditioning, and involuntary body reaction as to whether you feel more weakened by a single square fist, or an entire log of a leg. I don't know either way, but I'd take my chances oft more times with a punch, even a flurry of them, than endure a single strike that contains evident knockout power, something that is at least 20% of your own weight that is being thrust upon your person maliciously.
