I can also see Wlad beating the following:
Tommy Morrison: he just didn't have the talent or style to hang with Wlad plus he didn't take punches all that great either.
Donovan Ruddock - dangerous puncher but seriously lazy in the ring and in training.
Michael Dokes - solid all around fighter but simply not a threat to Wlad
Ray Mercer - we saw what a very raw Wlad did to an old Mercer, I think the Prime vs Prime wouldn't be all that different.
Ron Lyle - dangerous, but wild and didn't have great stamina
I think Wlad would hold his own vs Tyson and Liston. Say what you will about how dangerous Mike Tyson is but if his style had one flaw (it didn't it had more than a few) it was fighters that used similar techniques as Wlad: good use of height, reach, the jab, solid defense, and tying up on the inside...Wlad is solid to above average in most of those areas which means he would have a chance...if he had an uppercut he'd be a sure thing. As for Liston, i just don't think he could handle the movement and the size of Wlad...sure Sonny could bang but he'd have to catch Wlad first and that is easier said than done
