    Duran was a better fighter, probably, at 154, even. But Charlo was probably a large super middle as a junior middle.

    Charlo was/is good but doesn't match up well with tricky fighters who are hard to take out.

    Lmao! What kinda question is this?

    Duran would beat the living Hell outta Jermell.

    Moore was better than Charlo. Difference being, Moore had heart. Jermell is a b!tch. Both Charlo sisters are mental midgets.

    While he may have hurt your feelings, Charlo showed a ton of heart in stoppages of Jackson, Castano, and Harrison. And Moore’s career was a joke by comparison.

    Hurt my feelings how you clown? Charlo's never beaten a single fighter I liked, he's done nothing to hurt my feelings.

    Davey Moore was more talented than Charlo. Charlo obviously accomplished more because the Duran beating essentially ended Moore's career. But every fighter Jermell beat, Moore would have also beaten. I'm not sure the opposite is true. I'd struggle to pick Charlo over Ayub Kalule.

    I've always felt that Jermell was mechanical and low IQ.

    Jermall was the much more talented of the twins, but he wasted that talent by being an alcoholic.

    Jermall in his sober prime would have given Canelo a tougher fight than Jermell did. I dont think he would have won, but it would have been a helluva lot more competitive than Canelo vs Jermell.

    Jermall would've eneded Moore's career.

    The original topic was Jermell, not Jermall. I was only pointing out that Jermall was a lot better.

    Pre-Duran Moore beats Jermell. The way Moore dismantled Kalule was more impressive than any Jermell performance.

    Name two good fighters who Kalule beat not counting Kalambay years later and at a higher weight class.
