yah, if you start the kata garuma from on your knees you can pick up or atleast throw a much heavier opponent.
iam 6'1 formley 260 pounds when i started judo (now down to 230 thanks to p90x ^_^) and the much lighter and shorter judokas at my dojo could pick me up with kata garuma by offsetting my center of balance from on their knees. even a 5.3 100 pound girl pulled it off on me
This is professional wrestling not judo lolz!! can I ask you a something?? I know how to perform kata garuma im just wondering if I can lift heavy opponent through katagaruma?

The kataguruma was created so that a heavy opponent could be taken down easily. There's a whole background story about it.
