    Observing the whole circus around manny, his exciting fighting style, his media draw,personality etc,, i can't recall soo much excitement being surrounded around a single fighter since Mike Tyson? would you agree? and im not asking whethar you rate him a fighter or not, that will be argued to no end..

    Personality? He barely speaks english and is a midget. I respect Pac but he's not as exciting prime Roy, Oscar, Trinidad, or Mosley even. Outside of Tyson, De la Hoya was boxing's biggest draw and it took Pac fighting him to breakthrough.

    PAC is so overrted. Anybody from the lightweight division can do what PAC does...beat Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Margarito, Mosley, and Marquez.

    Roy wasn't that exciting. but he was far more of a genius in the ring than Pacquiao so that might add to his excitement factor

    Pacquiao hasn't been exciting since 2009.

    totally agreed

    A Roy Jones highlight consist of never-seen before moves and incredible display of virtuosity and athleticism, speed, power, showmanship

    A Pac highlight is also great to watch, but he lacks the completeness and uniqueness of Roy

    keep hating buddy.



    ya I'd say hes the most exciting since Tyson / Leonard. He's got an explosive, crowd pleasing style and he comes to fight every time. What more could you ask for.

    Roy was so much better than his opponents, that it was boring, same with Pac, all his dominating wins are pretty boring imo, the most exiting Pac fights have been against fighters who have pushed him to the limit, competitive fights, vs Morales, vs Marquez are the most exiting Pac fights, all others don't even come close. I just don't see much excitement on great fighters destroying over matched opponents.

    Most of Tyson's fights were one-sided, but they were exciting because of his explosive offensive style, and it's the same with Pacquiao.

    I could watch Pac / Tyson all day annihilating opponents. The way they do it is like art.
