It sounds like you are asking "Which weighs more, a 1 foot cube or a 1 foot diameter sphere." Obviously, since the sphere can fit inside the cube, the cube weighs more. In fact, the cub weighs almost twice as much (more precisely 1.91 times as much).

The cube, by roughly a factor of 2. The exact ratio is pi/6.
