I don’t agree that it takes years and years. Big guys are easier to hurt than you think. Their size can even be a real disadvantage if you know how to exploit it. If you’ve ever sparred with a boxer smaller and quicker than you, you know it can be hell to get a glove on them.

On the other hand, hitting you is far less difficult. Boxing may not be sufficient to take a big guy down, but kicking and kneeing the legs will stop a big guy real fast. I’m not here to disrespect Wing Chun or anything, but I’ve been training in Muay Thai for a couple of years now here in Khorat, Thailand. If I can put a good dent in rock-hard heavy bag, I can put a good dent in a big guy.

Another thing to consider is how the guy moves, his balance. Someone half-drunk coming down on you like a train has already overcommitted. You should be able to exploit this. Even if he’s not charging, his stance is not likely to withstand a straight kick. You can put big guys on their ass with a push kick if you catch them right.
