What are people's thought on body weight ratios?

It seems that some people find it more impressive if a lifter can handle weights several times there own bodyweight and other just the sheer amount of weight moved. Often lighter lifters are criticised for functional strength rather than actual strength and vice versa for heaver lifters.

What do you think?
