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.
Like you said "It is possible" and I believe Roy "Could" stop the guys you mentioned above. He didn't, but I do believe he could, as I believe he could stop Hagler.
