    Duran of the Barkley fight takes on Roy Jones Jr. of the first Hopkins fight.

    Can Duran overcome, or does Jones, despite the inexperience, have just too much speed for the old fox?

    Jones by a wide wide margin. Speed is exactly what a heavier Duran struggled with.

    Jones makes it look easy.

    No one-handed fighter is beating Duran.

    A 100% Jones is another matter.

    Jones rehydrated to 180 lbs in the Hopkins fight by his own admission I believe.

    Youth, Power, Speed, Physical Size...Jones holds every advantage.

    A bridge too far for the game but declined Duran. Jones isn't Barkley.
