If they were to sprint down a football field, Barkley should have an edge bc he was an ex athlete. But if we are talking about sprinting, slowing down, touch the line, sprint back, slow down, touch the line, and finally spring across the half court line, I think Bevetta will definitely have an advantage for being smaller and quicker.
On top of that, he's used to stopping and changing direction like that. But it should be interesting -- while Bavetta's in great shape and does run for distance every day, he doesn't look like a speed demon during a game.

And Barkley is probably closer to 350 than 300 these days.
