what happened with ricky and billy was nothing short of a miracle and imo neither will ever reach the heights again that they shared together. sometimes it happens like that in sport but imo them 2 will prove to be 1 hit wonders at world level, and i don't mean the amount of title fights they had together but just that ricky will never reach those heights again and billy won't coach at that level again.
you jealous jealous man lol i will train more champions and very soon,how can you call us one hit wonders when Ricky had 23 fights lossing 1 and drawing one this included 10 world title fights you really are embarassing yourself with you comments and not giving Ricky the credit he thouroughly deserves. John Mccarron is by far the best coach in the east and i hope he gets the chance to prove it with his young pros
Lets be fair the only fight he lost and was not in at all was against Crawford, though the Beltran and Gonzalez fights were poor perfomances. But still boxers sometimes lose, particularly ones who have little power, he has done pretty damn well given his limitations and until he has been outclassed and beaten in the ring outwith world level, I see no reason why people are writing him off so much.
if you read it properly i mentioned that it was not about the amount of world title fights together but the fact that the both of you clicked together and had an amazing run. it is a run that i personally don't think you will ever achieve again, I'm not saying that you won't have champions again but if you look back at the amount of world champions scotland have produced then the law of averages says you won't have another run like that, especially a 10 fight run. why are you so quick to jump down everyones throats? maybe you should attend classes to help you with reading things correctly and you might get less **** on here. i hope you prove me wrong and have multiple champions and at all levels. personally i enjoy watching the professional sport but would never be a part of it. there is too much money grabbers and dishonest people imo and i would be a hypocrite to be involved with it. john mccarron could well be the best trainer in the east but he has quite a bit to prove at both amateur and professional levels to beat terry mccormack but he is a very nice guy and i wish him the best with lewis paulen because i really rate him.
John as proved when working with my fighters what a good coach he is he only needs a chance, he's a grafter and will produce champions if others don't try and steal them You say I won't have any more champions bear in mind I've worked with the countries last three in Scott, Alex And Ricky, I've been working with three guys since Ricky left and between them they haven't lost a fight in 23 so we must be doing something right but eh you can rhyme off your achievements while we're st it I jump down people's throats coz they haven't a clue what I do on a daily basis to make my fighters better has well has hold a job down and run a business
sometime you speak well on here then at other times you come across as an egomaniac. what has my achievements got to do with my opinion. i have seen you slate alex arthur in the past and say he wasn't a real world champion when defending ricky but now you worked with him and he became world champion. lol i have spoke to peter at length at amateur shows and your version of events with regards to your role at his gym when training scott differs greatly to what he says. if you were that influential and did so much then why doesn't he speak to you anymore? if it was mutual then you 2 would still be friends? his words were you were the bag carrier and washed scotts gum shield . lol on ricky i give you all the credit in the world and i think you should be happy that you shared that time with him. i hope you prove me wrong and have 10 more world champions but if me giving you an honest opinion is so hurtful to you then you need to chill out. lol
im also sure that john mccarron doesn't speak that highly of you either and that is a reason that he no longer helps in your gym? maybe its just your personality that rubs people up the wrong way. lol or your eating habits? dipping chips in your mcflurry must be enough to put anyone off eating alongside you?!! lol
I agree with this, sometimes Billy you really come across well but when it comes to speaking about Ricky it seems you lose all reality. Burns was an average champion, i don't care if he defended it 10 times, he aint no Pernell Whittaker. Just admit that. Fair play for winning it but accept you were slightly lucky the division was really weak
The big brave internet warrior strikes again.... What a snidey blouse you are having personal digs at people when you don't have the courage to reveal your own identity.
oh my god i won't sleep tonight because one of billys mates comes on and tries to get a rise out of me! lol get a grip mate its a boxing forum for opinions and am i the only person on here that doesn't use their real name?? let me think about this for a while.............. no. the internet is a great place where we can share information, have opinions and say it all without the need to show our identities. not knowing my identity doesn't take away the facts, john mccarron doesn't speak highly of billy, neither does peter and coming to think about it i can't recall a coach i do know that doesn't say he is a 2 faced liar. but i don't know him personally and can only say that maybe he is a great person but the way he comes across here at times makes me think he has a big ego and i wouldn't want to get to know him anyway.
I think your talking through the large hole in your **** regarding john bad mouthing me, only a few weeks ago we were disgusing working together again, so please don't talk pish The reason john stopped working with me was he lost his driving licence, no other reason not even one you can make up
of co**** he wasn't the elite level Crawford proved that but what he done IMO was fantastic considering he failed twice at domestic level then went on to win two world titles:good
