This is why they say that it's not about the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.

That matters when there’s rules and technique.
If they were out to hurt each other little dude would be toast

yeah, as we know, no smaller person has ever in the history of humankind beat someone with a size advantage in a fight.

I mean, odds are a thing. We don’t make broad statements based on outliers, it’s based on average expectation and outcome.

This is one of the best damn sumo matches I've ever seen! (can validate - they used to have 90's sumo wrestling at the local bar...many dollar bets).

As a total nerd, I think this perfectly describes the “rock paper scissors” element of physical fighting catagories.
Power > speed
Speed > skill
Skill > power
