yeah but skeletons aren’t usually animate. the only way for a skeleton to be able to move without a meat suit attached to it is if it’s powered by magic. and who knows what the magic can make it do

Even if it wasn’t heavier, bones are still harder than flesh. If a skeleton punched you, it would hurt way more than a fleshy padded fist.

Punches mostly hurt because of the mass of the fist and arm. If you’ve ever been punched by a kid you probably weren’t hurt. A skeleton weighs less than a 6-year-old, so there wouldn’t be much mass behind the punch.

But, then again, magic.

Uhhm, how much flesh is there on your knuckles? A few millimeters of skin aren’t dampening a punch
