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 do not do mma but i am rollin with people all the time that do and i am 6'5 300lbs give or take a few and i get my ass kicked by the people who know more than me but when i roll with the guys that are equal or a little better i always win because i am so much bigger and stronger, i can completely control the way the fight goes by controling the other person so easily, unfortunately i dont know submissions besides arm bar, knee bar, and a keylock so i am pretty much fucked if the person can keep me from choking them. I think that skill is most important but if skill is close enough then the size matters.
