    I don't think it's that big a deal. They are making fun of his Parkinsons but Freddie is an inspiration to anyone with Parkinsons and it was just a spur of the moment thing in retaliation to something Roach said that offended them. I don't think it's a big deal and I'm one of the biggest Freddie Roach fans here.

    I don't think that Margo and his team have some kind of special hatred towards every with Parkinsons. give me a break lol..

    Another blurp taken out of proportion. I've seen plenty of interviews where Garcia gives Roach a ton of credit, where are the articles on that?



    This is just more PC bull****. People acting like butthurt virgins

    Bollocks. Roach making comments about someone professionally and those two dickheads insulting a guy's illness are not comparable. Roach said Margarito looked like **** in his last two fights, is that incorrect? I dont think so, and I dont think anyone else does. How does that justify them two pricks insulting not just Roach, but sufferers of Parkinson's in general? It doesnt. And I dont understand how anybody else thinks it can. Dont give me that ''what goes around comes around'' bull****, if Roach makes comments about Margarito's dead brother then it's justifiable, not if he says something the majority of people believe.

    uhhh I believe that Roach has the shakes as a result of his parkinsons. Its still insulting, but he has em. He also tilts his head to the side. It's true that he does it. It's still insulting to make fun of it.

    same ****ing principle.

    like I said people need to stop acting like butthurt bitches

    Freddy, you seem like a decent guy, and I respect you as a fellow boxing fan, but I honestly think that you're horribly biased when it comes to Mexican fighters. It's quite sad to watch you actually trying to defend stuff like this. Marg and co really aren't worth that.

    Roach and his camp certainly aren't angels either, but I've never seen them taking the **** out of people with serious diseases/health problems. I don't care what way you guys want to try and spin this, the bottom line is that what they did is juvenile, cruel and pretty much a pathetic action.

    Yup, that's about right.

    Nobody is denying Marg's camp the right to insult Roach. They could do it in many ways, say he's a **** trainer, say he was a crap fighter, whatever. I have no love for Roach, he's a **** talker and deserves the same.

    This ****, however, can not be defended. Instead of attacking him they make fun of the disease like some preschool bullies. Men don't behave like that.

    For the people that say that Roach talks alot of Sh.i.t., he does but doesn't make fun of other peoples sickness. And beside the point, you can see by Margaritos actions, he knew all this time that his gloves were loaded and even worst makes fun of it. Like Roach said, if you were caught cheating the least you can do is not make fun of it. Its called attempted murder! Wether Margarito wins or loses (which I hope he loses by knockout) he will get rewarded with millions for this fight for the sh.it. he did by using loaded gloves on who knows how many of his opponents.

    It' poor ****ing taste. They aren't just mocking roach, they are mocking anyone who has Parkinsons by acting like that. Come on, you know the difference. I doubt freddie gives a **** either, but it's still tasteless.

    .... says a guy who doesn't have parkinsons.

    So, if Freddie had cancer, and not Parkinsons, would you be OK with them making cancer jokes?

    Pretty tastless and lacking class. I know Margo is just doing it to get under Roach's skin, but he went a little too far. He wasn't trying to make fun of all people suffering from parkinsons just Roach, but I can see how someone would see otherwise.

    But I still think Roach is scum, and don't feel bad if he got offended. I only feel bad for those others who suffer from parkinsons and felt they were targeted and offended.

    Wow some people have some thin skin on ESB....Roach talks more **** than law allows...He should expect some brutal fire to come his way...I'm not saying what Margarito did was right, but Roach asked for it...

    Would I be crossing the line if I made a gif request of Rios doing the Roach?

    another moron. again, just say some **** like "Roach is a fraud" "Roach is nothing without a HOF fighter in his corner" or "Pacquaio made Roach" that's normal pre-fight trash talk. making light of a disability is not.
