If we pit them against each other at their peak of ability with no prior knowledge of the other, I believe that Johnny Joestar with Tusk ACT 4 could probably at least greatly challenge DIO if not defeat him, as Tusk ACT 4 can bypass spacetime manipulation if I recall. Johnny has been shown to be able to figure out the secret behind The World on his own while Diego Brando from Another Universe had to be informed of the powers behind Johnny's Stand by Valentine, which puts DIO at a disadvantage due to not knowing of the Spin or Tusk ACT 4's powers. Also the fact that DIO has not been shown to use his vampire powers beyond regeneration and implantation following his fusion with Jonathan's body yet still retains the vampiric weakness to sunlight puts him at yet another disadvantage, although it could be argued that if the two have no prior knowledge of each other, Johnny would not know to exploit this weakness of his.
