    Yeah I know. Back then though, late 80s/early 90s, you were diagnosed with HIV you weren't expected to live 10 years, even on medication. Guy's had it for 20 now. He was "lucky", for lack of a better word, that he contracted it around that time, when major advances were made in fighting the disease.

    I think Freddie deals with his condition amazingly well, look at all the physical activities he does, pad work etc.

    Parkinson's is a progressive illness....it means you get worse.

    So of course he's getting worse as the years go by. That's what it does.

    Doesn't mean he won't be around for years and years tho...Ali has has this for decades.
    Not much quality of life il admit an it must be utterly terrible.

    i saw roah in an interview the other day and he looks better than ever.... it's just when he's on stage or in the corner his anxiety triggers his tremmers.


    this isnt it but he sounds good here.

    Yeah I guess it was really his nerves that makes his condition alot worse than it is during under controlled sessions.

    Still though I appreciate he loves and lives for boxing but I am concerned it may no be the best thing for him. Maybe his career will be shorter than we think.

    The new show on HBO I guess will tell us alot about his general health
