We're boxing, and you're wearing a headguard. It disappears (I've been watching Rocky 2, btw) and the exact same moment I punch you.
Just because others have their own version(albeit very similar) of your original claim does not make it right.
Your boxing analogy is pretty much a reach. I think you are missing the point. There's a reason the sequence of events show the guardian blasting first then the ring getting destroyed/overloaded along with the mountain blowing up. I mean technically speaking, the mountain "ceased to exist" in the same instant right? Going by your argument, the Guardian for some reason made the ring disappear and blew up the mountain for kicks.
What you are doing is taking the writers words and making it suit your argument even though it does not follow logical sense. What do you think destroyed the ring and the mountain? Seeing as the frikkin Guardian expelled the totality of its energies to kill DD should have set off alarms.
In an instant, a lot of things can happen especially in a medium where speed allows you to do a myriad things. In this case, the blast was so powerful(trans level) that it can destroy things even large objects like a mountain in an instant.
With your argument, you are setting a very illogical precedent anytime someone attacks somebody. Especially against characters who use shielding. Anytime shielded characters get attacked, if they are hurt that means their attacker made their shields disappear at the same time they fired. Heck lets not stop there. Anytime someone gets attacked and then hurt, it means their defenses disappeared in the same instance.

Moreover, whilst Doomsday was adapting to the power, guess what else was on the battlefield that (presumably) has already adapted to massive amounts of Oan energy?That's right, the ring.
The Guardian's power was so great, items specifically designed to harness this same power, were overloaded and destroyed.
And Doomy survived that.
Err.. You pointing out DD's ability to adapt and possibly absorbing the guardian's power(as per the guardian) only serves to weaken the claim of a straight up tanking feat. The two most impressive things in this feat were:
a) DD using a GL ring as if he's owned for years.. 😛
b) DD possibly adapting to the Guardian's power and absorbing it.

Moot point, as this entire convo was around the WWH/Sentry fight, where golem asserts there was more destructive power being thrown around there. I mean, it wasn't as if Hulk had adapted to Sentry's energy (as carver likes to show him grabbing Sentry's energy) or that Sentry specifically emits energy that doesn't hurt Hulk....Edit: as for the planet splitting feat, the bomb that the Red King let off had 'only' split the crust. I.e the outer skin:

Not really since this showing is being touted as a straight up tanking feat for DD without mentioning that he may have been amped and was the beneficiary of a GL ring's defenses.
P.S. Oh and myth busted.
