    Duran. And I don't think it's close.

    Jones is hardly a joke, but Duran is greater imo.

    Compare their achievements - it's quite close. Roy Jones had better consistency, but Duran had the better single win. I see no reason for the scoffing attitudes from some, it's a close call in my opinion.
