    Pac..I just like him better.

    Thats not to say Joe cant put on a good show but Pac is an excitement machine and one of my favourites fighters today.

    I think both are very good to watch, but Calzaghe looks unbeatable most of the time, and when he looks fallible he is shite and boring

    Pac has a kill or be killed kind of style which is always great to watch.

    Pacman is great to watch out of 10 i would give Pacman
    a 9.8

    Calzaghe however can get boring and just grind away a result.
    i give Joe a
    7.9

    Thats only my opinion.

    Yes plus pac has more tools on his arsenal right now, and as roach is guiding him they are exploring to more possible areas or flaws to polish in his game. Who knows what surprise they are gonna pull on the hoya fight, like the great surprise pac showed in the form of his lethal combinations he pulled on the diaz fight: hook-uppercut combinations etc..

    Pac by a country mile; P-4-P a bigger hitter, faster and hits with the knuckle part of the glove.

    Although Calzaghe's showboat routine against Roy was entertaining in the laughable "I'm actually embarrased for you Joe" kind of way.

    You may think david is a no nothing that's why pac pulled those combinations and gave a very brutal beating on dd, but doing that to him which sta-cruz or even em failed to do, or finish off literally, is a great feat still for me. Remember david is a pure 140 pnds only going down to the lw, and pac was new there. When i heard "their plans" prior to fight which was written on our local papers, i thought pac was going to be boring as the plan was to incorporate a boxing clinical method. Pac being a boxer? In and out? That was boring. But still he pulled it off, imo even better than his 3 dimensional helter skelter ways before.
    The excitement i'm really feeling for pac is that he has a great room to improve. I don't believe in amsty when he said pac would never improve and stay as that because etc..etc.. For me it's evident. He is turning in to something like a calculating barbarian because of those improvements he is developing as a thinking fighter..that's the excitement i'm feeling. I wish he would'nt let me or us pac fans down though come the hoya fight. I hope he will bring something new to the table again..:bbb

    im a big calzaghe fan, but i would just edge it towards pacman.
    i like watching how calzaghe adapts to a fight and changes is tactics but pacman has had such exciting fights such as jmm x2, berrera, he murdered diaz, etc...

    (out of 10)
    calzaghe - 9
    Paquiao - 9.5
    ;)

    Pac. You are always in anticipation of a KO whether it materializes or not...

    Calzaghe is Pac minus the power, less speed, and weaker combinations

    so it's Pac easily....

    I wonder who voted for J.C.

    Pac by a mile. You need damn replays and slowmos to see those punches. I have to make a x.25 slow mo on every pac fights I recorded to see those hits.

    Is this a joke? Pacquiao is the most electrifying fighter in recent history. Even his flaws make him more thrilling to watch. Calzaghe is high energy, high activity, but very little thrills. I cannot see how it is even a debate.

    Pac by a mile. Calzaghe was never involved in a FOTY candidate even when Pac fights guys that arent on his level its exciting.

    i wouldnt even put Calzaghe on the top 10 exciting fighters in boxing today.
