not putting down his achievements or anything, just saying it's easier to cut fat/build muscle when you're smaller. just like it's easier to life heavy weights when you're shorter (squats, dead lifts, etc).
I think it's easier for a bigger person to "get" more muscle because they tend to already be big despite their fat. Maybe it's just me, but I think that could be the case for the bigger individuals.
I think the skinny/fat people have the worst of it...
