Nope, its not just about number of weight classes in any case. He would still would lack the consistency of someone like Floyd.
By my count Robinson defeated about 21 guys ranked in the top 10 at the time that he beat him. The first was in 1941 and the last in 1961.
Out of the guys Roy Jones fought the following seem to have been rated in the top ten in their respective divisions. Bernard Hopkins, Thomas...
Part of being a great fighter is cleaning out your era and beating the best opponents available. Robinson had many fights against guys that...

Robinson didn't come close to fighting everyone, where are the fights with Charley Burley, Cocoa Kid, Holman Williams, George Benton, Dave Sands,...
The losses to Maxim and Turpin are prime losses and he also has draws with Basora and Brimm.
Roy's only official loss before age 35 was a DQ in a fight he was on his way to winning by knockout, Robinson was simply bettered by the likes of...
Also, I'm not terribly impressed by this argument that Jones wins are made less impressive by the fact that he relied on his reflexes and was...
I feel like Jones during his prime demonstrated a much bigger gap between himself and his competition. In addition to his official losses...

Randy Turpin and Joey Maxim
Fury and Joshua both beat Wladimir and I'm not at all convinced Ali could beat them
Ali had beaten Quarry and Bonevana by the time he faced Frazier both of whom were top contenders so I doubt ring rust would have been a massive...
Also, accusing Jones of cherry picking seems ridiculous given Robinson for whatever reason failed to face plenty of worthy opponents.
