I'm not sure what info you're using to draw your conclusions from. If I'm rolling with a guy twice my weight with half my skills I have a serious problem on my hands. If I roll with someone 25 lbs lighter with an equal level of skill I'll handle him like a child. I know this because I do this every day. Everybody I know who trains takes this as a given, because we know it for a fact.
I'm not a boxer, I train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Academy. You should check into it, sounds like you might enjoy it.

ok but that still doesnt prove your point..First off roy jones vs say barrerra would still be a 5 round fight if not more..You are talking about big guys and there power..Of course if a little guy gets hit with a perfect punch or 2 they will be knocked out..But professional fighters compared to regular everyday people fighting is way different..Big guys normally can not get a clean blow on little guys..where as smaller guys can get 6 or 7 in that are just as affective as 1...It all depends on how your jaw is in terms of taking punches..also your in the gracie camp man..gracie wasnt big at all..i mean if ua re in the gracie camp and things im suprised they would say size matters...In boxing it doesnt..nice example is roy jones vs ruiz and roy one...He could of knocked him out if the fight kept going on more then 12 rounds..who knows..But as for UFC style of fighting and shit and wrestling of course weight more then size matters because your mainly fighting on the ground a ton and if a huge guy is on top of you theres no way out
btw i might look into it...I am that type of person..Love confrontation
