    I don't want to believe so, but I'm looking at the photos, and Manny's face looks a lot more drawn than it does for this fight. Could it just be because he fought a lot lighter against Algieri and this fight is at 147 and not 144?

    We won't know until he's in the ring.

    Being in better shape is not solely down to physique, he might have been more defined in November but for all we know he could have better stamina and more power this time 'round.

    I wouldn't stress it. His strength and conditioning coach is a professional. I'm sure they know what they're doing. Besides, it's better to be slightly undertrained than overtrained.

    Pac looks ripped.

    Keep in mind lighting changes everything along with being sweaty. I'm sure come fight night both guys will be chiseled a hell.

    And like others said, it doesn't really matter. Cardio/shape doesn't always = physical appearance. It's internal and mental.

    does it matter? The Algieri fight was a joke and a failure on PPV
