Honestly, it depends on the muscle strength and weight.
And while we're at it, wasn't there always some little guy in PE class that could do 200 pushups and 30 pullups? The big guys, even the strong fast athletic big guys, just aren't usually the pull-up champions, are they? It's almost always the small guys.
It's true for world class weight lifters too. The smaller people usually lift more with respect to their weight than the big people. It's not better muscles, or a more determined attitude, that helps the little guys, it's just geometry and the way muscles work.
Hope I helped!,
