    yes they will.

    At some point, someone 6'5 will beat someone 6'8... and then lose to someone who is 6'2ish

    Just because someone below 6'5 will have a hard time beating someone above 6'7, doesn't mean someone in between wont win the title, and then lose to someone below 6'5

    Trust.

    They should change boxing from weight divisions, to height-and-reach divisions. No catch weights, no draining. Fight someone your own size

    Wrong. Tyson showed it's possible and showed how it should be done. Aggressive coming forward style.

    Wrong. Purritty and Brewster are both under 6'5" and destroyed Wlad. Vitali was getting schooled by Byrd before before he quit. Byrd made hitting Vitali look so easy despite the height and reach advantage Vitali had. We all got to see how dominate Wlad is in both the Jennings and Fury fights when he can't excessively clinch and punch his opponent.

    WTF? Fury deserved to win, but "aggressive coming forward style"???
    You guys are trying to re-write history. Fury ran for 90% of the fight while Wlad choked his right hand. Since when is dancing around with your hands behind your back "aggressive coming forward style"?

    We were referring to Mike Tyson using an agressive coming forward style to combat tall heavyweights.

    You dumb idiot. I was obviously referring to Mike Tyson being an aggressive come forward fighter. Fury isn't even under 6'5.

    And secondly, say what you what but Tyson Fury's win over Wlad is legitimate and real.

    If we had the single punching KO like Mike Tyson again, size would not matter.

    I saw Tyson knocking out many bigger guys in the HWD during his era.

    You can be under 6'5" but you better be an Ike Ibeabuchi he is the only fighter who will always be a threat vs anybody.

    Now the average Heavyweight champ is 6'8", SNV was over 7'0" & wisely ducked by the Wlad & Vitali because he neutralizes both of them (SNV went on to 50-2 lost 2 close MD to smaller mobile guys), SNV was never hurt unlike Wlad & Vitali

    Its wiser to recruit taller lankier guys for Heavyweight division or just split it to Heavyweight with 220 limit & Super Heavyweight 220+
