    I enjoy watching both, but Pac's fights are always exciting to watch.

    Joe, easily. He is obviously on a different level athletically than anybody else right now in boxing. Sort of like a latter day Roy Jones but one with actual boxing skills to go along with his unique physical gifts of hand and foot speed and especially his mastery of distance. Check out his third round performance against Jones after Cal had been badly hurt and dropped and Jones was still super confident and fresh. He raised his game, figured Jones out and turned the fight around in seconds. He both dominated, confused and humiliated Jones with his phenomenal speed and workrate. He actually put his head repeatedly between Jone's gloves just daring the man who had just dropped him to try and land a shot. Of course Jones could not respond. That round anybody who has followed boxing knew he was in the presence of greatness. Cal looked like something out of the movie The Matrix. To compare Pac's rather pedesrtian boxing skills is like comparing BHop to Kelly Pavlik. An insult to both longterm greats. Believe me Joe is a very rare talent and watching him ply his trade and put on masterclass performances at the height of his powers is infinately more exciting than watching Pacman eke out tough decision victories over guys like Marquez et al.

    :roll: oh my...

    The question is "more exciting". Calzaghe can be exciting (as he was against Lacy, Kessler and Jones) but Pacquiao is almost always. Cant you just be honest? That does not mean Joe is ****...oh well...forget it.

    Who is more exciting to watch? Pac. Why? Because it's obvious.

    Yeah that ******* punches himself if he got hit by a big combination, bang his gloves after going toe to toe and raise his hands as if those hits were nothing. He likes provoking which makes the opponents goes into his pace.

    You would seriously prefer to watch a guy like Pacman with his pedestrian skills over a boxing phenom like Joe Cal? Hey, everybody has their tastes I suppose. When you watch Joe you are watching the skillset that comes around once in a generation. Again, WATCH the third round of the Roy Jones/ Joe Cal fight and tell me seriously if that is not sublime boxing practiced at its highest level. Noone since Sugar Ray Leonard and indeed prime Roy could approach that elite level of mindboggling athleticism in a boxing ring. To even compare the talented but limited Pacman with a true boxing master like Joe Cal is embarassing.

    Joe, Pavlik, Taylor, Haye and Vitaly are all more exciting.

    The simple reason is that grown men find it difficult to get exciting about a guy who is not taller than an 11 year old school girl. No offense to PAc fans. I assume you are short (latinos or asians) so I can see why you would find him exciting. I just don't.

    Im 6'4" and i definitely think Pacs more exciting. I have never not liked a fighter because of his height, that comment is ridiculous. Pac can fight like hell and is generally considered the most exciting current boxer. Pac might be small but I bet he'd spark the average person twice his size. I respect Joe but his fights aren't action packed .
