Well, wide body are generally easier and certainly more stable airplanes.
The "size" has little to do.

It is not the wide body part that is difficult I agree. However most of the time widebody also means longhaul and thus very few sectors per month. It is this that can be difficult for the unexperienced right out of school pilot.
Some people cope, others don't. I have seen them.
