Default What LH could have taken Wandy during his prime?

I'm talking 2002-2003 when he was going the distance against some of the best heavyweights in the world (Crocop and Hunt) and dominated his own weight class. Possible candidates as I see it:

1.Liddell - I doubt it, especially if you look at Rampage-Liddell 1. I think Wandy would have handled Liddell the same way Rampage did the first time, pressuring him so much that he couldn't get a decent shot off.

2.Shogun - Never would have happened because they're both Chutebox, but I suspect Shogun may be a more technical striker than Wandy and may have been able to catch him if Wandy went in brawling.

3.Ortiz - I doubt Ortiz could have beat Wandy in his prime, Wandy's striking and wrestling skills improved immeasurably after his decision loss to Ortiz

Any other ideas?

0....wandy in his prime could have beaten ne1...liddell would have been a great fight but WANDY prob would have took it...he destroyed rampage wit 17 kness to the head...shogun ur rite they wouldn't have fought...so cant rly say it..just goes to see how they fought other guys....ortiz bein a great fitness n well rounded fighter would have lost to a wandy in his prime...another question n more importantly is where would they fight ufc or pride? cuz pride n ufc fighters r so different...if u take wandy to ufc in his pride n take awy soccer kicks/stomps..maybe hes not so destructive..but ne fighter lhw in the world n put him in the ring wit wandy...their not leavin hurt

wandy did well vs strikers, but he had issues with Arona. Even when he avenged his loss, it was still a dec.

Arona may be boring, but he's an abu dabi champ not to mention strong as hell.

Arona is definitely under rated, I remember watching a fight between him & Dan Henderson where Arona got at least as many takedowns as Hendo did, which is saying something. He doesn't always win, but he presents huge problems to almost any fighter.
