DIO is a massive threat, but Jotaro isn't. Not only is Jotaro's time stop 5 seconds max, which is half of Diavolo's time skip length (giving Diavolo plenty of time to time skip before Jotaro activated time stop) he lacks DIO's regeneration abilities so one hit from KC will donut Jotaro. The only way Diavolo would win is if he went for a killing blow to the brain. Even if it doesn't kill him, it would paralyze him. If they were fighting in an area with no possible escape and onlly Diavolo and DIO, then Diavolo can exploit this even if he goes for the chest first, because DIO needed blood to recover from injuries. But DIO after getting a Joestar's blood removes any chance of Diavolo winning. Unless, again, he manages to eradicate DIO's brain.
