That's still pretty close... got any vids of a 145 lbs (i.e. my weight) dude KO'ing a 227 lb guy?

Bottom-line: weight (and strength) makes a big difference. Skill can mitigate that natural advantage, but only to a certain point. Take 2 guys (or girls, or guy/girl) , equal skill, different weight class - the larger guy (or girl) will win 9 times out 10.
