When you try to train them to attack humans they can start showing serious psychological problems.

The Manstopper class of work dogs does not include pittbulls. Partly because some of the reasons you mentioned.
A much heavier Rottweiler, without a jaw that "locks", can bite hard enough to stop any human. The additional size makes them that much more effective.
Of course pittbulls could stop a man ... It's just a classification of training.
