Dogs have less fear, because they don't know the inevitable outcome if they lose the fight.

I wouldn't necessarily call that an advantage, or a disadvantage for that matter. The kind of person who is locked up by fear in a fight likely hasn't had enough training or experience to win the fight anyway.
