Height and weight make more difference when opponents are evenly matched in skill. If you have good game and a much larger opponent does not, you may do very well. If you are evenly matched then the bigger stronger guy will win. Size and strength do make up for a lack of skill in most instances. I have grappled beginners who are terribly strong and got into some sticky situations. Sometimes a big guy can muscle his way out of situations without using good technique. Sometimes it can be nearly impossible to bend the arm of a big strong guy. Grappling bigger stronger guys just means adjusting your game.
