Yes, I agree. Generally a smaller, lighter person needs to fighter smarter when it comes to hand to hand, and that should be shown in the fight choreography. I think sometimes the choreographer just ignores the relative sizes and strengths of opponents, leading a smaller combatant effortlessly blocking blows by someone obviously much larger and stronger, which can look unconvincing. Sword-fighting, on the other hand, is going to rely far less on strength than speed, so that shouldn't be a problem.
