Has character's size any effect on bodyblocking capacity. In other words : are Collision box smaller if a chararacter is tiny ?
I asked this question in game but the answers were very different
character's size and bodyblocking capacity (not a noob question)

Great question. Would love to read a reply to this.

No. The size does not matter. 
The game engine does not use 3D geometry for detecting collisions -- which would be 1) an unnecessary performance hit and 2) an unbalancing factor for PvP.
Think about a fixed radius around the characters that cannot push through each other -- like an invisible cylindrical wall that is centered on the characters and follows them around. This radius is the same for every toon, regardless of their size.
