    Nelson Tells Gallagher To Put His Money Where His Mouth Is

    Ricky Burns’ trainer, Billy Nelson, today hit out at Joe Gallagher’s claims that their camp have been disrespecting and ducking Anthony Crolla. Nelson took time out from preparations for Ricky Burns’ title defence against Mexico’s Raymundo Beltran to speak to BritBox. The trainer was clearly incensed by comments made by Gallagher yesterday and believes his counterpart was incorrect to assume that Crolla’s win over Gavin Rees gave him a good claim to challenge for Burns’ WBO lightweight crown.

    “He’s deluded if he thinks that’s the case. The reason there was talk about Ricky facing Gavin, and it was only talk mind, is that Rees is a former world champion at light-welterweight, and he was a European champion at lightweight as well. He’s fought Adrien Broner and he also holds a win over Derry Mathews, who stopped Crolla in their first fight and drew in the second bout.

    “Crolla has also lost twice to Gary Sykes, and in my opinion Joe is desperate for a world title fight and he’ll use anybody’s name to achieve that goal. Ricky would absolutely destroy Anthony. Crolla’s a nice kid and he’s been a friend of mine for years, but in boxing terms Ricky Burns would annihilate him. It’s all about levels and Ricky is several levels above him.”

    Nelson is firm in his belief that Crolla wouldn’t pose too much of a problem for the champion, and believes that Crolla isn’t even the best lightweight Gallagher has trained.

    “In my opinion John Murray was the best lightweight Joe has trained. He reached European level and did very well. Look what happened to him against Kevin Mitchell – he got smashed to bits. Then look what happened when Mitchell fought Burns – he got smashed to bits. Joe’s just not thinking before he opens his mouth, and he doesn’t care who he insults.”

    What do you bring? An oversized ego and an arrogance that goes well beyond your achievements thus far.

    Tone it down fat boy. The fall from grace will hurt if you don't.

    joes saying on his twitter Ricky wants the fight but I don't, that's a total lie!
    The truth is I've said Ricky would get no credit whatsoever beating Anthony, but if it happens it happens Joe will just become 0-4 in title fights

    i understand joe chasing a world title fight for crolla but no way has he earned a shot at a world title, crolla is a good domestic fighter, a fight with burns would end early and painfully imo but if you don't ask you don't get

    Fine line between confidence and arrogance. Some people over step the mark at times by accident, you over step it to such a degree that one can only assume you are indeed an arrogant ***** with an over-sized ego.
