      Freddie's health is on a massive decline with the Parkinson's desease getting much worse. You can see that in recent footage. At the back of his mind he must be wondering how long he can hold the pads and train fighters. His key fighters losing is a big blow and with Khan saying that he won't rule out getting another coach that must feel like a body blow. Unless fighters are happy to be trained by his underlings while he watches on his time as a trainer must be coming to an end because that Parkingsons is not going to get better.

        For reals. He has way too many fighters in his stable.

        I'm really worried Robert Garcia is going to be doing something similiar soon. He already has Donaire, Mikey, Maidana, Rios, Pavlik, and now he's training Marquez.

        Plus, he works with a lot of young up and coming fighters...

            Training fighters and staying active probably helps a lot in slowing down the progression of his Parkinson's disease.

                Roach got lost in his own celebrity quickly .... the HBO series being the ultimate vanity project.

                  It's still a lot of fighters to be training at the same time. Especially if they keep on fighting on the same days. Can he really focus on getting both Rios and Donaire ready if they fight the same day? Training camp is going to be at the same time and I don't think Donaire trains here in Oxnard. How is that even going to work out? It's going to be Donaire's toughest test in a long time and the same can be said for Rios. I think Garcia is starting to take on too many fighters.
