      It takes a stylist to beat a stylist, so i'll edge towards Charles on this one.. Although i think his best weight was light-heavy, his MW career, during which he was serially avoided, was interupted by 4 years of national service duties..

      Ketchell would have to be the 'punchers chance' nomination, but i don't see him being able to outbox Robinson..
      Moore at his best weight also stands a very good chance, but he'd need to drag Robinson into a war, and i don't see a prime Ray falling for it..
      Billy Conn and Jimmy Bivins, i feel would give him fits before being taken to school down the late stretch, but i'd say he stands a good chance of stopping the rest..

            Moore and Charles at LHW definitely have a chance. They are both bigger, Moore's stoppage record is well known, and Charles is one of the closest things to a larger Robinson you can think of.

              I'd give both Charles and Burley a good chance of turning this trick. I don't think he could stop him, but a Greb fight would be very interesting considering all the problems Ray had with Basilio.

                You think Burley could stop Robinson? Burley was great, but I just can't see someone without a relevant size advantage doing that.

                I think many of the name in that list could beat Robinson IMO (Greb would be one of those I believe), but stopping him... different story.

                  I voted Charles, but really it was a tie between him and Greb. Ketchel probably wouldn't have stood a chance.

                    i agree with this guy......Light Heavyweights outweighing Robinson by 20+ pounds couldn't even knock him out so how would any of these punks do it? i realise this is hypothetical by you are demeaning the great man by even thinking a fighter has a chance at knocking him out in HIS PRIME.....
