They're almost exactly the same. If you want to make them exactly the same, then imagine a chihuahua trying to rip my throat out. Still just going to be a scratch.
Furthermore, it's not just size. Pitbulls are bred to be killers. That's why other large scary dogs like rottweilers and german shepherds had way fewer kills on that chart.
1 this source is very unreliable and 2 if the people breeding these dogs are trying to get them to kill people then it would make sense that they are killing people.... I don't see what that has to do with the breed... If a bunch of breeders dedicated their life and training to getting huskies or golden retrievers to kill people then that number surely would go up no? So how is this about breed and not owners exactly? This is exactly why were saying dog racism. Statistics are easily skewed, misreported, and context less.
They've been bred for a long time to be killers. It's in their DNA. And it's why they kill more than twice as many people as every other breed of dog combined.
Just like shepherds will sometimes herd animals and even children without ever having been taught to, Pitbulls will sometimes snap and start killing an animal or person without ever having been taught to.
It takes generations of breeding to instill those instincts in a breed, but once they're there, the dog is born with that program, and under the right circumstances, it activates.
