I think if you are looking at a better predator I would say pbass. If you are asking who is more aggressive of the two then Dovii. I hope this isn't a case of who is the nastiest. There are more reasons to keep a fish just because of it's aggression level. As Duanes coined "macho comparison hubbub flexing" which holds true to people that are only interested in owning the biggest and baddest fish.
Just because one river has a different name than another, doesn't mean they aren't connected as tributaries.
When I was in Colombia I was in an area, where there were a number of different named rivers, but all were tributaries of the Rio Magdalena, so fish in one, are often the same as another.
The opposite occurs here in Panama, where (among others) there are at least 3 large systems, the Rio Chagres, the Rio Tuira, and Rio Guaramo systems, each separated by geography. For example Isthmoheros tuyrense, is only found in the Tuira system, but not the Chagres
Many fish found in Tuira system are not found in the Chagres, because they are not connected.
But the Rio Chagres has many tributaries and many of its fish are found in all of them, all over central Panama..
Another example is a fish like Tomocichla asfraci, found in the Guaramo system, separated in western Panama, from the others by a mountain chain.

Haven’t seen that. May edge out in weight but length seems to belong to the Emperor.
