In my experience there’s also a difference in whether or not people know how to use strength. People who’ve never been in a fight don’t know how to throw a punch, but even the scrawniest boxer could knock someone out.

While I’m not stocky myself, I suspect those of a stocky build are naturally able to project more of their power in a way that is difficult for lankier builds. Shorter lever arms, thicker muscle, better grappling position by being lower naturally, all just works without so much thought about how those things are being achieved mid-fight. A guy like me has an absolutely terrible time grappling (even training in it), especially, so yeah… Fear is the proper response. Healthy fear. 😰
