    Well they'd need to be elite, I think they'd better be massive punchers.

    Langford (if he counts) and Fitzsimmons are the first that come to my mind. Archie Moore too. But I don't think they could handle Wlad's power.

    Maybe Kid McCoy could trick brother Vitali into coming in out of shape, then, using his corkscrew punch, stop him on cuts.

    Archie Moore, when he hydrated up to what we call "cruiser" on fight day might have a puncher's chance. But basically, Wlad is just too big.

    Mike Tyson? A 220lbs light heavy? You mean small heavy on the lighter side? I don`t think that`s what the question meant it was anyone that fought at light heavy.

    I am going to say none!

    You have to be a cruiser weight by today's standards, and an all time freak, to even be in the argument!
