They always go all out on attacks while the other fights defensively, do you think the attacker kinda knows they're weaker and is just in the 5 stages of denial?

Isn't always the case though. There's usually new transformations or power levels to hit that eventually give them the edge.

This is much more common in filler and movies. In actual DBZ in the fights where there is a large power gap, there is usually some sparring first that establishes the power gap, and then the weaker party freaks out and launches an attack that does nothing.

Its simpler than that. Just look to see which character has a bead of sweat on their head. Thats the character thats weaker.

The Z Warriors (....sigh....) couldn't sense the Android's power level afaik, so they, especially Vegeta, went into it confident they could win. Also, many characters intentionally hide their power levels, and saiyan's power levels tend to fluctuate drastically based on emotion.

"You can always tell who's stronger in DBZ fights"

So here's a DBZ fight where you can't.

I'll just run through the one sided major fights of the first half:

-Raditz vs. Goku and Piccolo: Raditz started the fight by rushing in and bopping both of them. Not defensive
-Z Warriors vs. Saibamen: Tien dodges 1 attack, then immediately defeats the Saibaman in 2 hits. Krillin and Piccolo kill the rest in 1 hit. Not defensive.
-Z Warriors vs. Nappa: Nappa immediately rushed in and punched Tien's arm off then KO'ed him. Continued to bum rush the Z Warriors. Not defensive.
-Vegeta vs. Recoome: Recoome did just walk around and tank stuff, I'll give you that.
-Goku vs. Recoome: Goku did dodge the first attack, but then beat him in 1 hit immediately. Not defensive.
-Goku vs. Jeice/Burter: Goku landed the first hit in Jeice's face. But he did play defense for a while, but this was because of plot, he was trying to convince them to give up and leave so he wouldn't have to kill them.
-Goku vs. Ginyu: It actually looked like Ginyu had the upper hand, until Goku used Kaioken and far outclassed him and ended the fight. Not defensive.
-Frieza vs. Nail: We knew from the stated power levels that Nail had no chance, but Frieza did play defense. However this is because of plot, he wanted Nail to tell him how to activate the Dragon Balls.
-Form 2 Frieza vs. Gohan/Krillin/Vegeta: Frieza immediately blows them away and then stabs Krillin. Not defensive.
-Form 3 Frieza vs. Piccolo: Frieza immediately rushes in, Piccolo tries to run, Frieza catches him and starts torturing him with ki blasts. Not defensive.
-Vegeta vs. Form 4 Frieza: Frieza is on defense and just dodges around, ill give you that.
-Goku vs. Form 4 Frieza: Most the fight was actually even, both attacking and dodging. Not defensive.
-SSJ Goku vs. Form 4 Frieza: Again, fight looked even. Not defensive.

Looks like 10 out of the 14 fights do not follow your theory. Plus 2 of them the stronger opponent was playing defense because of the plot. Sorry.

i think you have it backwards, the exception is when the plot calls for a guy not to play around

-frieza vs. piccolo did go how i said but after frieza transformed he just wanted to torture piccolo
-frieza was toying with goku the entire fight
-ssj goku was toying with frieza

the rest went that way because the stronger fighter wanted to make the person suffer or they had a stronger fighter to deal with after
