Hitboxes are often very huge. But all hitboxes are dealt with in the same manner. It comes down to timing your dodges. If you know when the move will actually hit you then no hitbox matters in the end unless it catches you by surprise, which is natural.

For instance, a Volganos hipcheck won't hit you while you're below his neck 2 tail area. But his bite will reach you all the way down his left leg. The hitbox itself isn't the problem once you get used to rolling. But the timing is. And especially in frontier, your positioning.
