    As you all know, Roach in the last couple of years has acquired something of a big mouth. Some people have really gotten on him about the things he's said recently, about khan, manny, floyd etc. But does nobody consider that this might be a side effect of Roach's continuing descent into Parkinson's Disease? Psychosis and/or Dementia from his condition might certainly explain his behavior and somewhat irrational statements. Does anyone think so? Do any of you all have any idea of how bad Roach's condition is right now?

    Roach says some crazy things sometimes, but I don't think it has much to do with his Parkinsons. He has probably just developed an ego after all the success he has seen in the last few years.

    Roach is on roids... did you see his arms in that 24/7 episode. No way is that natural... i think Ariza's special shakes had something to do with it

    Whew! I thought I was the only one who noticed.
    Training Pac and the entire circus surrounding the WC right now is preserving him.
    I'm worried about him Post Pac.

    Parkinsons is a motor skills issue.

    Could be, but I would think mood swings and such would be a better sign.

    Though outlandish, he hasn't said anything you wouldn't expect a guy hyping his fighter wouldn't.

    Not really. Head trauma manifests itself in mental (depression) issues too. Many NFL guys suffer from severe depression from the brain trauma.

    It's called being the number one trainer in the world with 20-30 fighters sucking off him daily trying to convince him to train them.

    He will be brought back down to earth on December 11 and then again on May 7, 2011.

    I talked at length with Freddie a few months ago at Wildcard. Other then his tremors, he seemed perfectly OK to me. But if we are talkin' about Pepper.....

    Freddie is ridiculously biased when he talks about his own fighters.

    If you want an astute assessment of most of the fighters out there ask Freedy.

    If you want to hear a load of horse **** ask Freddie about one of his fighters.
