    It's clear the debilitating effects of Parkinsons are taking their toll on freddie, how much longer do you reckon he'll remain in the sport? i'd say 5-10 years tops..

    Don't really like to speculate on things like that. So, lets just say I hope he stays going as long as he can. Best of luck to him.

    I'm not a doctor, but I bet the activity and the exertion are probably helping him to fight the disease. I'd bet that once he stops his deterioration will speed up.

    I remember him saying the exact same thing. I could see roach loving boxing enough to be in there until the day of his death

    10 years would be my estimate. His speech is definitely deteriorating. He should be a force in boxing for a long time, though.

    Guys,

    I met Freddie a few days ago. He was in great spirits laughing & joking, fooling around the gym but I noticed his hands tremble a lot. Did make me worry for his health, but I hope PAC and Khan keep him sharp along with ever increasingly effective treatment

    When Pacquiao retires, so should he.
