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.

I agree with you on this one. I my self train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and just got my blue belt
You do have a advantage with size. I am 275 and when i fight a brown belt id i cant get past there guard or submit them i do wear them down with my weight. But i have a black belt guy i go rounds with who is 160 pound guy and he submits me all the time. It all depends on a persons skills but size and weight does have its advantages.
