    pacquiao has no need to keep boxing he is a congressmen and apparently owns alot of business's over in the philipines. if he was unhealthy in the slightest he wouldnt continue fighting surely...

    even roach would step in and say something if pac wanted to continue will an illness such as parkinsons

    Given that Roach has parkinsons, he would know first hand if a return to the ring is in the best interest of Pacquiao.
    If he actually does have it, or is showing symptons of parkinsons, I doubt that Roach would allow him to fight.

    I always said that Pacquiao should have retired for health reasons.

    Basically he says PAC has no business after getting brutally ko'd by JMM, and being in various other wars, he is 34.

    He says it is irresponsible as PAC has had all the glory, championships in 8 weight divisions, and money. There is no point at all for him to continue and he hopes his health doesn't go to furthers ****.

    I just don't believe that "he has Parkinsons" another doctor said the same about Vitali and I belive Roach would be the first person to notice something like that

    This is as anecdotal as it gets, but here it goes: My mom's been a nurse for 30 years, primarily in nursing homes, including taking care of old fighters and football players. She thinks Manny's showing signs, too.

    Do you honestly believe that? because to me Roach is a business man he will milk that cash cow to the very last drop

    What are the signs your mom has pointed to? I'm not versed at all on Parkinsons, unfortunately.

    Reminds me of something Vivek Wallace said in an article on ESB:

    'First, you have those who have said “off record” that Pacquiao’s medical condition is worst than many are led to believe and the battery of test he’d be required to take here in America would certainly see him disqualified from any action in the near future. This is a theory that few have spoken about publicly, yet many in the underground feel has great merit. Some even going as far as saying Pacquiao allegedly had a seizure following his knockout loss. Hopefully this isn’t the case, but if the rumors of him having to have brain scans in China and all of the other workups discussed are true, this certainly isn’t a good thing, no matter where he plans to fight. '

    Wish I could remember the specifics right now. I'll ask her next time I talk to her.
