Hopefully his son's will be bigger if you put him with the bigger females.

I have seldom seen a rooster more determined than these Leghorn cockerels free ranging. They run the hens down. Even the very agile and fast Game hens. There is no old head honcho to keep them under control around anymore and they are running amuck!

Generally all of the offspring are bigger when you put a male with a bigger female. Females contribute a lot of the genes responsible for size in a breeding. I was always taught that males influence color more, and females influence type and size more.
