I've wrestled and done BJJ, and I can tell you that after 1 year of training, I could out wrestle the big guys who were new to the gym. I'm a very small guy.

I think alot of it depends on how you were trained as a wrestler. Someone with shoddy training isn't going to be very good after a year, and I assume some high schools have poor programs. However someone with good training is going to demolish the average person, even with a size advtange.

The next point I'd like to make, is that the wrestler has a huge advantage in a WRESTLING MATCH (which the OP said it was). However, if you turn this into a "street fight", then imo, the big guy starts to gain more ground. Rule set is important here.

And lastly, to those talking about cardio...jokerthief is pretty correct. Exposiveness is what matters, not whether or not someone can go for a 2 hour run. Someone who has done alot of wrestling will naturally have that explosive stamina, and it is very important.
