Ronan with no gem was beating the crap out of Drax who was tearing security bots in half with his bare hands and survived a spaceship crashing into him head on.
Im going with Iron Monger here, I cant think of any showing without the gem that makes Ronan a threat and while he did handle Drax, Drax himself did little to impress.
Ronans best chance is to use his manueverability to keeps from Stanes reach but that wont win him anything and to attack he has to get up close which is not where he wants to be as Stane could get ahold of him.
