I don't agree with that. Most great heavyweights are 6'3+. Tyson and Holyfield kind of break that mold, but are outliers. Ali was very lanky and super fast for his size (6'3). Foreman was freakishly strong. I don't think Lewis or Wlad would have had a big advantage in that way..

Well, I have the unopular opinion that Lennox was one of the most talented and most teachable fighters of all time with the best cornerman/trainer of heavyweights of all time in Emanuel Steward. And let's not forget that right hand of God.
I'd put Lewis against anyone and expect no less than even money. He wouldn't be an underdog to anyone.
Wlad was a more technically sound, but less fluid, version of Lennox.

And you're right. The creation of a super heavyweight division is long overdue.
