    is there any fighter in today's era who....

    could beat a Prime Sugar Ray Robinson at the very peak of his powers, either in the welterweight, or the middleweight divisions.

    if they are list them, and provide explanation why they could beat him

    can be any current active fighter, or any other fighter in the past 3 decades

        No to anyone beating Ray at welterweight. As a middleweight you'd have to give Hagler, Monzon, and maybe a few others some kind of a chance.

          I'd probably pick Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins over Robinson at Middleweight too, but they aren't in thier prime anymore so I don't know if that counts..

            pick any fighter in the last 30 decades that's in their PRIME who could do the job. so you'd pick a prime Jones and Hopkins over Sugar

                Chavez did nothing of note above 140.

                Maybe he beats a young, green Robinson @ 135, but at 147 he loses.

                  At 160, possibly.

                    Ray Robinson is the greatest ever.
