Well of course without context this doesn't make much sense.
Let's say, two bikes, same speed, same weight (weight saved by smaller wheels is compensated by riders belly fat)
So yes, the smaller wheel would turn faster. And thus be harder to stop. But it's lighter and thus easier to stop.
I guess the difference is negligible, but it's interesting nonetheless...
