King crimson, without the surprise element of appearing behind you and erasing your memories, is actually not that great. It's very strong and decently fast, but it's power only allows him to erase memories and relocate himself.

Silver chariot was able to fend off Diavolo for a while, Metallica (if outside of King Crimson range) had little problems... Most strong stands are able to do good work

King Crimson doesn't just erase memories, it erases time itself. Give it a little more credit. King Crimson was able to overpower even strong Stands like Sticky Fingers and Silver Chariot, so you'd need either a notably stronger Stand than that or something that can remain very powerful at a distance.

Automatic stands wouldn't work, as there's no guarantee that Diavolo wouldn't just skip time and run, with most automatic Stands not being clever enough to keep up with him. A close range type wouldn't be ideal either, because being that close to Diavolo is very risky, but certain really strong ones might work, like Star Platinum or maybe Weather Report.

Most long distance types are too weak to fight against King Crimson in a one-on-one, but there are a select few that might be powerful enough to keep up with him. Honestly the best option to beat King Crimson is probably with a ridiculously powerful long distance type, like Red Hot Chili Peppers or Tusk ACT 4.
