Comments Thread For: Roach Works Through Physical Ailments To Prepare Manny

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

This has not been an easy stretch for Freddie Roach as he prepares Manny Pacquiao for the biggest fight of their lives on May 2nd versus Floyd Mayweather. Years of toiling in the gym seem to be taking it's toll on the body of the 55-year old trainer.

"It's holding up OK, it's a lot of bad luck," said Roach on Friday afternoon regarding the timing of these physical ailments he is suffering.

"But it's a pinched nerve and my nervous system is getting a little clogged up, right now. I have a problem with my C-5 and I have a problem with my neck with two bulges and two pinched nerves up there but it doesn't slow me down."

I don't really see the point in having Roach as my trainer if I'm not named PAC or Cotto. Ruslan is going into a do or die war right now and his head trainer isn't going to be with him because he's tied up with another fighter (understandable on Roach's part). There are plenty of other talented trainers out there who can do what Freddy does ... Maybe better when you take into account his health.
There's some prestige that comes with having Freddie Roach as a trainer but I would want a guy to view my fight/career with as much care as the next man in his stable.

Why don't you go sit on the end of a broken plunger handle?

Parkinsons is not something everyone has. Roach is an inspiration.

Gotta love that he doesnt give a **** what YOU think and he is ****ting on everyone in his way, including the Mayweathers.

Now thats how you wanna go out. How many people with Parkinsons are doing what Roach is doing, remaining active not meekly withering away.

Yes he's a prick, but good for him.

I made a thread about roach health months ago, the dude doesn't look good at all, his neck is bent side ways and he has it resting on his shoulder. Also buboy does pretty much the same mittwork roach does.

The sad thing about pacs camp is both his trainers are ailing, roach with Parkinson's and fortune with cancer of the throat. But you gotta give credit to them for working hard.

Ruslan is not really trained by roach, Marvin somodio handles him, roach just works the corner on fight night and collects the check and gives Marvin bread crumbs.

Oh really? So how come Roach made fun of Sr's stuttering? Roach has a serious disease but that don't stop him from talking s#!t about everybody else.
