Better to go out doing the things you love. It's not like like his mitt sessions are critical, or anywhere near as important as some people make them out to be. His fighters have plenty of people to work with when they really need to lay it on.
Freddie Roach does not look good at all doing the mitts with Miguel Cotto

Looks good to me!
He's working on Cotto stepping out and not getting caught in front of his opponent. Putting a few combos together and even rolling underneath something you hardly see anymore. Freddy has brought Cotto new life and added millions in his pockets.
They better not go near GGG because you'll see the "old Cotto" that looked shot and past prime within 4 or 5 rounds. When you sustain damage it can be hidden by the right opponents but the wrong opponent can put a fighter right back where he once was.
Freddy has done a great job with Cotto.

He seems to be nearing his end. He supposed to have back surgery after this fight, that could help but if he's laid up for an extended period of time it could be the end of him on the mitts. He was already having trouble yelling to the fighters during the fights, I remember Ariza used to have yell out the instructions for Freddy during the rounds.Comment

Its gettibg worse but the complex sequences involved in training fighters and doing mitts is actually slowing Parkinson's down so there's no problem with him carryibng on unless he physically can't.Comment

That's some romanticized bull right there, dying doing what you love.
"He died doing what he loved, boxing"
"He died doing what he loved, *******"
"He died doing what he loved, auto****** asphyxiation"
How about not dying doing the thing you love?Comment

Tbh I don't care if he retire tomorrow. I would be happy with it. Don't misunderstand me I don't wish his death orhis condition to get worse I just hope for his retirement. Once because his health and twice because he's a fucking annoying prick who I won't miss for a minute.Comment

I would agree!!!
At a certain point everyone with Parkinson's should evaluate whether they should scale back on certain activities. And being a boxing trainer is stressful enough without combating a debilitating medical condition along side of that.
I may not agree with Roach on many points, but he's still a boxing icon. He needs to consider retirement and start looking for someone else to carry the heavy load at the Wildcard gym.Comment

He's definitely been looking more effed up lately with this Parkinson's bs. He's basically got his head sideways & ****. I thought I heard he was on some new medicine a few months back. Might be a side effect idk. If things keeps getting worse he might not be able to do what he does now which is ****ty cuz he's said more than once offing himself is something that'd be on his mind if he couldn't do what he does. Not Roach's biggest fan, I think he's kinda a douchebag, but hard not to have some sympathy for the guy with this horrible don't wish upon your worst enemies disease.Comment
