    Pacman for sure, he has to be one of the most exiting fighters of the last decade!

    Gatti was the more exciting fighter overall as most of his memorable fights were more dramatic and competitive than most of Pac's. This is no fault to Pac as he as been more dominant. The funny thing is that Gatti is actually a better technical boxer than Pac. His skills were underrated in that department as he did use his jab and legs in some solid wins. Pac is definitely much faster and explosive although Gatti probably had more one punch power at 135.

    Pac... you can feel he wants the fight to end via KO!..Gatti is exciting too..but sometimes, what makes him exciting is his ability to trade without thinking of what might happen to him.

    True, but the question here isn't who's the better fighter of the two.

    Gatti wasn't an A-level fighter himself, so his bouts with B and C-level fighters looked like "fights of his life" for a reason.

    On topic, both Pacquiao and Gatti are all-action fighters, with Arturo being the most vulnerable of the two, which is exactly what makes his fights a bit more exciting imo.

    Gatti by a nose. :good

    Tough one.

    Pacquiao was definitely one the more exciting fighter in the 2000s. Gatti had that one great fight with Ward, the 3rd was pretty good, the win over Damgaard was a pretty good fight. Pacquiao had his fights with Morales, Marquez, explosive beatings of Barrera, Julio, and Ledwaba. Not close in this decade.

    But compared to the Gatti of 95-98? He had those two wars with Robinson, Ruelas, Rodriguez, also two pretty entertaining fights with Patterson.

    Their both warriors but the answer for me is Pacquiao. He's exciting to watch and he wins big fights.
