None.

Cain will rule the HW division until the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. When the seas go dry and the mountains blow in the wind like leaves.
 
Anyone whos nickname is "The Warmaster" is a tough fight for anyone.
 
None. But Barnett has the best chance because he is very experienced and will know what to do against Cain's style of fighting. And his wrestling and striking are good enough to avoid being dominated.
 
None.

If there's anybody in the division that could beat him it's either JDS (although he got mauled twice, I just think he has that power and his boxing is that good) or Barnett, since I think Barnett may be able to stop the TD's and he'd give Cain a good fight against the fence.

I do think Barnett would eventually slow down and Cain would really start beating him up though, I'd take Cain by UD, but I think Barnett would give him a tough fight.

Other than that, I would love to see Cain maul Travis Browne, it would be beautiful.
 
Barnett wouldn't do well against Cain. I have nothing against Barnett; I think he's one of the best heavyweights in the sport's history, but Cain is a terrible style matchup for him.

If the fight stays standing, Josh will get eaten alive.
If Cain takes him down, I don't see Josh doing much off of his back. He's always been a top-game dominant guy.
Josh will struggle to take Cain down because he doesn't have the striking game to set his relatively slow takedowns up.
If it gets into the later rounds, Cain's cardio will ruin Barnett.

Put Barnett against anyone else in the HW division, though, and he'll win more often than not.
