Yes, I'm just not sure that the proportional relevance of strength compared to skill favors strength more in unarmed combat than it does with swordplay, especially in a true combat, where one blow can decide wether you will be alive.
Having said that, I'm not at all experienced with swords. The only weapon I know (a bit) are bo (quartterstaff), saļ and tonkwa (okinawaian wooden tonfa). And (fortunately!) I never take part in a life or death combat ...
So, it is just a feeling.
