Combat Skill Bonus for taking a Damage Penalty

I don't like this idea. Imagine a giant with massive ST and damage but mediocre skill, facing a quick and skilled but lightly armored and squishy swashbuckler. If the giant can convert all that extra damage (that he doesn't really need against a soft target) into extra skill, he's negated his opponent's advantages. And possibly turned it from an interesting fight into a cakewalk.
