You are missing the point....
Any person who hits with more than six stone of power is going to hurt you.
Once you get above that kind of power it doesn't really matter.
Six stone of power will take your head of, as would 20 stone of power.

The only difference is that before, the 20 stone guy was still using that kind of power. Normally it would level the ground, but now you have a smaller, more manouverable person hitting with the same power.

I would favour the smaller person

Everytime I 'fight' my master who is a third of my bodyweight, he destroys me with a couple of punches, or out grapples me.
Power is overrated. And this is coming from a 25 stone guy who's arms are about the size of most people's legs.
