Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If Dean is given a chance to compensate for Sam's greater weight and amss then Dean wins, because Dean has more experience and more talent for combat.
Suppose Dean always has a chance to compensate for it. Because he's faster, knows more moves, is more savage, and improvises weapons better.
I guess I just don't get how to strip a fight down to "the only advantage is weight and reach. Experience and speed and attitude no longer count."
That's a weird spell.
I mean, that is, of course, assuming Dean's faster, which we don't know (but is likely, because being 6'5 doesn't help with speed), and assuming he's more experienced (I think he just cares about fighting more, has done more, so I'm going to give him this one), and as long as Sam has his soul and isn't on demon blood, I'd say their willingness to beat the crap out of each other is severely situational.

The smirk is the best part. It's totally, "See? See how velvety smooth I am? This kid LOVES me."

I loved "Weekend at Bobby's" so much the first time around and now it just makes me mad that they subsequently wasted Rufus, but not before unnecessarily angsting up his relationship with Bobby, which was clearly of the friendly bickering sort in this episode.

By "wasted" do you mean "killed" or "used carelessly"?

not before unnecessarily angsting up his relationship with Bobby, which was clearly of the friendly bickering sort in this episode
During that exchange where they were doing the "Thanks Bobby, I owe you" / "No, I still owe you more" / "Well add this to the list" (paraphrased, obviously), I found myself waiting for the angst that we saw in their last similar interlude and it was nowhere to be found. (You know, the implied "you killed my wife and I'll never ever forgive you for it" part of that episode.)

I haven't seen as much fic as I was expecting to explain that. I didn't get that he killed his wife, but rather that she died/was exposed to jeopardy through Bobby's oversight.
