Medicine is evolving fast and they made a few nice discoveries about Parkinson in the last 5 years, there is really a chance that by the time Freddie won't be able no more to train, they will have found something against Parkinson or at least, to get it under control.

there is definitely hope in that domain. NOw, as for Roach, he's a major asset for many reasons: First, the experience and who he did learn from, I don't think of many boxers that didn't get much better under his guidance, PAcman is obviously the better example but other boxers like Khan have also improved dramatically under his guidance.
I've also rarely seen him giving bad advices in a corner, where some might stir up some mayweatherian shit like "knock him out man, yeah man, relax man", Roach always have something decent to say.
There is also the fact that the Wildcard seems to be a place where many great boxers are nowadays, which contributes to make of this place a great environment to see champions in action and to potentially spar with them.
Another aspect that often we don't see is that Freddy takes fire for his boxers quite often; He said many things that sometimes looked limits but when we do replace them in their context, I believe that we can see that he does so to get some attention that would otherwise be directed to the boxer and thus, reducing the pressure on his guys. I'd definitely hire him as a Trainer would I be a pro boxer.
