Size definitely matters but mainly when both guys are trained. A high level professional MMA fighter should absolutely destroy an untrained larger opponent regardless of size. The athleticism and technique these guys possess is unreal.
It gets nuanced though, for example. the 400 lb. car salesman mentioned above. What what his experience level? Did he wrestle, play sports, lift weights, etc.... Andre the giant was a professional athlete so its somewhat moot, but in general training/technique will overcome size if the larger opponent is untrained. (its the very reason martial arts exist) Just being big will only help you against another untrained person, unless other disparities (like age) exist.
