Could any MW in history stop Hagler?

It would be mighty difficult...I will give few a shot...a middleweight version of Sam Langford, knocked out guys much heavier than him and Fitz, who knocked out heavies with a single punch...If either catch marvin Hagler he will be in trouble ( that doesn't mean knocked out though)

Shame Hagler would land almost every punch he threw against Fitz.

Roy Jones Jr.

Roy Jones Jr.

By what means?

Tremendous speed and power, and probably the hardest boxer in the history of the sport to hit. I believe he actually fought rounds that he never got punched.

Roy Jones is capable of stopping any middleweight in the history of boxing IMO.

As did Corbett who was a heavyweight...it wasn't easy to put away Fitz just like that...It took some rounds for even Jim Jefrries to do that. Now Hagler might hit harder P4P but overall I will still give it to heavyweights.

Fitz had the power to stop any middleweight. If he catches Hagler it won't be a cake walk. But at the same token I won't bet on that happening.

Like he stopped Jorge Castro and Hopkins and Toney etc? Castro was pretty iron chinned, not as much as Hagler and he was much easier to hit. Jones, by your thinking, should have been able to stop him easily. He certainly tried, but couldn't.

He wouldn't stop Hagler. Might stun him once or twice early on with his speed, but would never stop him. Just as he couldn't stop Toney or Hopkins or De Valle and I've seen Toney hurt more than Hagler at 160. Fermin Chirino got stopped pretty easily by a lot of guys, but Jones couldn't stop him.

Like I said earlier, it's possible to stop anyone, but there are some fighters who just wouldn't be stopped. I'm positive that Hagler was one of the few guys that would never be stopped in any era against any fighter.

In my opinion there was no middleweight in history that could of.

Charley Burley, Roy Jones, James Toney and Julian Jackson all had a great shot of stopping mr Hagler.

Corbett wasn't a true Heavyweight was he though he could have easily fit into the LHW frame today. Also I don't remember Corbett ever being renowned for punching power.

Jeffries lacked one thing Hagler had and that was skill and precision.

I could see Jackson, purely for the fact he hit so hard I'm not ruling anything out. I could also see Roy Jones but, it wouldn't be via 10 count. Most likely cut stoppage.

Burely and Toney I don't see none were exceptional power punchers or had the aggression to wear Hagler down to a TKO victory.
