Beating somebody with a significant size advantage would only work if the smaller person had a huge skill advantage.

Have your nephew kick you as hard as he can in the same spot five or six times. Then let me know how a smaller person blasting your weight-bearing limb does 'no damage' - even someone 100 pounds lighter than you can wreck your leg pretty quickly if you are leaning forward on your front foot and planting to throw a haymaker.
Royce Gracie submitted men much larger than he is... 2 or 3 in the same day of the tournament. Here is a video of James "Lights Out" Toney (with 11 titles in 5 Boxing weight classes including 2 current Heavyweight belts at that time) fighting Randy Couture who was a FORMER champion when they fought:
029 - Randy Couture Vs James Toney - UFC 118 - 28-08-2010 - Vídeo Dailymotion
Shoot, take down, mount, choke.... and Toney was the much 'bigger man' with a 17 pound advantage at the weigh-in and probably closer to 25 pound advantage at fight time.
You don't win by bringing a knife to a gun fight...
