Ray was weighing in at middleweight for most of it at 145ish, and you think he is strong enough to take out Roy who does have a good chin(watch pre comming back down from Heavyweight Roy, and you'll see he could take a punch). Ray gets dropped for the first, and only time ever if he fought RJJ.
I consider Robinson at WW a few notches below Robinson at MW. I'm not sure Ray gets dropped, but I do agree with you, that a prime Roy would be just too much for Robinson at MW. His size and speed would be enough to overcome the technical advantages held by Ray.
