Would a successful Usyk usher in a return to the more traditionally sized HW's?

There's no incentive to focus on boxing technique at HW for smaller guys like Usyk until the RULES are enforced. How the heck are boxers like Parker or Usyk gonna compete against tall guys like AJ, Fury, Klinchko with all the grabbing and holding?

Boxing at HW is a joke if you aren't 6'6 anymore because there are no rules. Good luck carrying a 260 pound gypsy on top of you for ten minutes of the fight.

They should allow clinching and leaning for the bigger guys if the shorter guys are allowed to lowblow or low kick, that sounds fair?

No. Why would it? Good heavyweights come and go and they will fight at whatever weight they think they perform best at. Wilder claims he only weighed 209 last fight and he hits as hard as anyone. Many great heavyweights have been no bigger than Usyk so Usyk or another good heavyweight his size could become a champion but the big and giant heavyweights will be as plentiful as ever.

The 6'3", ~210 lbs Usyk is built much more like the traditional heavyweights of yesterday as opposed to the 6'6"+ beasts around now.

If he proves successful do you see a return to normalcy in the size of boxing heavyweights?

Look at the pics with the Klitchko's he would get destroyed by todays sized HW, they gonna keep that jab in his face and then launch one of those MISSLE RIGHTS when one hits

or lean on his ass (put that weight on his ass), wash, rinse, repeat
