Potentially, yes. kinetic energy=(1/2) mv^2 where m=mass & v=velocity.
Someone with greater mass has an advantage, but I have seen small people deliver incredibly powerful blows. Technique is more important than brute strength at least up to a point.

No it's not ALWAYS true, and I'll tell you why. Power from a punch comes from effectively using your body and follow through with combinations of strikes, also knowing where to strike the body can often do more damage than just a sucker punch with all your weight behind it.
just as Chris B said with the Ernesto Hoost and Bob Sapp, so the size to power to damage ratio doesn't always mean that the bigger guy is gonna win.

Not in my association because they teach us vital area strikes where the area is only the size of a dime so the bigger the striker the harder to hit the spot the right way and therefore is less effective. but a strike to the face or chest then yeah the bigger the more damage.

Not necessarily. Punching power comes from technique more than strength. The power of the punch depends on speed and accuracy, and having the proper form when you throw, for example pivoting your foot. There are other factors besides size.

I saw Ernesto Hoost fight Bob Sapp, and it looked like Sapp was killing him with big clobbering blows, but it was Sapp who couldn't continue, I think he got some broken ribs.
There is a certain point where speed and focus will do more damage than just brute strength, in terms of hitting.

technique and accuracy are more importiant then power. Look at how many people will be kicking someones azz and the person getting their azz kick gets in one good punch and knocks out the other person.
My sensi always teaches us proper technique and accuracy, do it 10 times slow to make sure you are doing it correctly and one time fast.
