If the ant gives a man any trouble then the man would step on the ant and crush it.
The application of his great weight on the little ant would immediately crush its exoskeleton and render it impotent. Or dead.

Well a man weighs about a million times more than an ant so it's no contest -- the man would just crush the ant.
Unless the ant is genetically modified to be super-venomous (or gigantic).

Well in relation so size an ant can lift 100 times its body weight. So if we were to apply a scale based on strength man would get his *** kicked physically alone. However, man knows how to build weapons and fire so we win.

Small ant carrying large things is a question of leverage. However if it was scaled up to human size it would lack that leverage advantage. It does make a great horror movie image though.

For now, we win.
For the long run, put your money on ants.
