The Klitschko's and Lewis were really exceptions in terms of fighting well despite being as big as they were. Tall fighters used to fall like timber as soon as they got punched and it's very rare to see a mix of stamina, strength, power, chin, coordination etc when a man is 6'5+.
So I think it will settle down to the 6'3/6'4 225 pounds, once again, which is really the best size for a heavy in my opinion.
Then again, we do have the likes of Joshua, Furys, Wilder etc who might become champions in the future and they are all 6'6+.
No, they will be the same size they are today. I think Wlad is 6 ft. 5 inches. Lots of rated heavyweights are just over 6 feet tall. A good cruiserweight could win the world title at any time. A cruiserweight could easily weight almost 220 pounds on fight night and that's plenty big enough if he has the necessary speed, skill and power. A prime Ali at 205, or a prime Tyson, Foreman, Liston or Holmes would all be very competitive at 220 pounds if they were fighting today.
