While this is true, there is a certain ability that practitioners get from their art that could possibly make a difference in a fight. Generally, these come from what the art focuses on. Boxing, for instance, focuses exclusively on punching techniques--at that, in a setting that is controlled and predictable. Because of that, a boxer might be at a disadvantage against a US Marine who has trained to fight with no controls, no way to predict conditions, and to use whatever is available to him in the fight.
That is assuming that training is the only thing that matters. As you said, in the end it comes down to the person. Training only helps
