Lots of things "can". Not many "will".

> speed
Probably not. Speed.tends to imply mobility, and there's ways to counter that.
> power
Different story. Developing explosiveness under weight implies a certain threshold of strength, or at least fast twitch muscle, which is directly correlated with athletic performance.

It's all about how many weapons you have in your arsenal. Height, weight, strength, speed, endurance, skill, strategy, and more are all weapons. If your opponent is taller, heavier, and stronger than you, you will have to surpass him in at least three other ways in order to stand a chance.

So in theory, a professional Olympic lifter (with some fighting experience) could win a fight against a professional powerlifter (with little to no fighting experience)

How much weight is the oly lifter giving up? Also, oly lifters are weird. Here in the US, the more popular sports canabalize the guys with ridiculous vertical jumps and shit. Overseas, you get a mich better gene pool in their Olympic lift programs.

Not always. I've won these kinds of fights and sparring sessions but it's always an uphill battle

Grappling is often the art of using leverage to amplify strength, but giving up 70lbs is going to need a LOT of leverage.

> 315lbs power clean at 158lbs
Holy shit, bro. Maybe that might be enough sauce.

Yes you can, especially if the other guy doesn't have fighting skills.
This is a legit 500 lbs bencher powerlifter vs a much smaller guy who doesn't even lift, but prepared for the "fight".

Also cool video about the judo training version of smaller size but better technique vs bigger size and lesser technique.

Also a note, with weapons (sticks, knives, etc...) speed and power will win anytime over size.

Depends on who outweights you.
If it's a slow bag of fat like Akebono, you can do it easily if you're a decent fighter.
If it's a very strong guy who lacks skills and pain compliance like Bob Sapp, you can do it if your skills and speed are superior.
If he's not also big but also skilled like Semmy Schilt, it's very hard to beat him.
If he has granite chin like Valuev, then it's even worse because you don't have puncher's chance like when you fight a skilled opponent. The only possible way of beating someone like this I can think of is to be very good at bjj

Explosivity and snappiness almost always dwarfs slow, raw strength.

when I was 14 I won a fight with a 20 something guy because we were fighting in the countryside and I kept outrunning the guy until he went out of breath and had to lie down
