Depend on where they fight. In the Maxim fight Ray was exhausted from the heat. Joey didn't beat him, the heat did. Ray was ahead on the scorecard. Michael Spinks can do the same thing to Ray Robinson under the same condition. However, if they fight indoor with adequate a/c then Ray Robinson toughness will edge out a close decision against Michael Spinks. Michael is the natural bigger man here but he scare easy like against Mike Tyson. Ray Robinson was a vicious body puncher and he had a good chin. He can survive the Spinks Jinx then dig deep into Michael body. After the 10th round Michael will be running scare and holding on for survival. He only survive because of his size.

If they did not fight outside in a heat wave, Robinson would make Spinks look like a beginner without a clue.
The Spinks jinks would not affect Sugar Ray, he would give Michael a boxing lesson in every round, pitching a shut out.
Spinks by UD or late stoppage.
As great as Robinson was, a prime Michael Spinks would simply be too much for him.
