As JungleHunter87 says, Danny Glover wasn't even slightly ripped in the second film. Brody was way bigger than him in Predators.
But muscles aren't important.
Muscles are sort of important because the stronger the man, the more he attracts the Predator (for hunt, you perverts).
It would be a bit insulting if any random scrawny guy defeated an alien who specializes in hunting dangerous life forms. It's insulting Danny Glover was able to defeat one. Hunting is what they do and you can't tell them not to quit their day job if they get killed by a nearly retired cop.
Almost everyone could have beaten up Glover in the movie, yet he defeats the monster, and it's not even on wit. It was a hand to hand combat. I don't care the Predator was shot several times and lost his arm, he still should have been able to kill him without a problem.
So I'd say muscles are important to portray that the human they're after is not an ordinary guy, but someone who's strong and able to fight.
