During his peak run, Ezzard Charles was another who belongs. From 1944-51, he lost only one HOTLY disputed decision and laid waste to one of the finest eras of Light Heavies ever before winning the Heavyweight title and having a solid reign there.
Based on who he beat in that run, Charles is up there with anyone. I think he beat better fighters in his peak run than Robinson, in their time.
I love Roy but he just doesn't have the depth of resume to belong in these conversations. I know how his fans felt about him but it just takes WAY too much conjecture. If you want to play the relativity game one can fuss into an argument, but objectively weighing it out, he doesn't sniff the convo.
