I personally prefer to watch Joe Calzaghe more than Manny Pac. But that is no slight against Manny.
Respectfully I think I might have to agree Calzaghe is probably more Exciting then Pacquiao because he really brings it and hits the guys with bad intentions. Pacman lacks pop in the upper weights.
But when joe fights he can hit hard but chooses not to. Pacman lost his power so I havet o say now that Joe Calzaghe is also the most exciting fighter as well pacman number 2 but pacman at 122 was exciting.
Who hits with bad intentions? Didn't Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver stop this version of Jones? Did Cazlaghe? DId you see Pacquiao against David Diaz? Or against JMM? Or against Morales in fight 2 and 3.
Also people who say they like the artistry of Joe Calzaghe, he isnt' a boxing artist, he is almost as unorthodox and untechnical as Pacquiao, I think people are forgetting that Pacquiao is a very good technical boxer these days, he outboxed Barrera who came up almost even against JMM, and he didn't do that badly in the terms of boxing against JMM if you actually watch that fight closely, his defense has improved a lot, he doesn't just land that left cross anymore, you see a good jab, and that great short right hook.
All in all their styles remind me very much of one another, but except Joe goes for volume while Pacquiao throws a lot, but he throws bombs.
