      Roger today sounds so much worse than he did just five years ago.

        Sad to hear of this story. I hope and I'm sure he gets the best care possible.

          It comes in like whack a mole. I have close to 80 users on my list but I would be surprised if that amounted to more than 10 individuals.

                Thing with Roach though, he dishes it out. Obviously mentioning his Parkinson's is bad taste, and I don't think anyone should mock him for it, but some of the stuff he fires off on, it almost seems like he's playing upto it also if that makes any sense? Knowing full well that anything in return could be throwned upon

                Anyway, don't want to stray too far off topic on this one.

                  It was obvious to me. The way Roger talked throughout the years just seemed to get worse and worse until you just couldn't understand him. In interviews it's like he's half there mentally.

                  At one point he was totally sharp. Able to rattle off tons of past fights and outcomes. Even recalling when he sparred Freddie Roach. But then it just went downhill.

                  I remember the video where Floyd was defending Roger against his dad at his gym.

                    I really would hate to see him go- his fights haven't been great during this SHO contract but thre have been some huge events. He's still one of those names/faces who you'll only see once. Many good times I've had talking boxing, watching boxing, etc in the lead-ups to his fights. If only the legends never had to age!!

                    I want to see him be the first to fight in that new arena but even one fight can change it all. Definitely not my place to argue with his decision - he's put in all the work already and the drawbacks he alludes to with Roger are a reality he's seen played out many times as a boxer lifer. Well wishes to Roger as well
