    So let me phrase this another way. If your life was on the line and you had to pick one Heavyweight from the past to defend it, by beating Wlad in the ring, who would you feel most confident in picking?

    Any of those bar Tyson.

    A disqualification could prove troublesome.

    Lewis was something else when he fought tall guys like that. He'd KO wlad pretty easily. He has the tools to nuetralize all of Wlads strengths, the jab the right cross etc.The other guys would have to oversome either a reach disadvantage or a speed disadvantage or something along those lines.

    Tough call for me, I would say either prime Tyson or Lewis. I would just be afraid of Lewis getting sparked, his chin gave way a few times in fights and other times it made for tense moments againt Bruno, Vitali and Briggs, who are all big guys like Wlad.

    I'd pick them all to beat Wlad but I honestly think a prime Ali would beat him 10 times out of 10.

    Lewis would stop Wlad inside two rounds.

    I'd pick a prime and motivated Lewis out of them due to his own size and ability to take down big men and strategically brake down a fighter. Ali came pretty close as did Foreman but tbh in there "prime" I think all of them would destroy Wlad, I don't think he could even take a single punch from Tyson at full force.
