billy nelson finished rickys career imo

Solaris please put the glue down it affects your ability to think straight you wanker lol

 

Bit early to be pissed isn't it?

 

Gamboa actually tried to win. Ricky was happy to lose a UD. The difference is huge.

If Ricky had been willing to engage Crawford would have picked him off with ease.

 

Billy seems to get some stick on here. Ricky's move of trainers probably put Billy in the spotlight, but from what I can see Ricky has lost all his boxing ability. Grabbing, holding, telegraphing right hands, leaving his head in the air when targeting the body. His quality has gone!
His fight on Saturday was boring! He should have also been deducted a point

 

Watch the Gonzales fight. He was doing all of the above in that fight.

 

No, Billy Nelson did not 'finish' Ricky's career.

 

thank you Boxingcrazy talking out the hole in his pants

 

I think its a disgrace for people to accuse Billy of wrecking Rickys career when he took him from being a guy who was falling short at British level to a 2 x world champion. Now that feet made Ricky world class, was he ever best SFW or LW in world, no he wasn't ever (that's were Billy was wrong in saying so, but hey guilty of backing his man that's all).

Lets look at facts, and questions for Billy

1) As mentioned Billy took Ricky from failing at British level to world title wins
2) Ricky was super fit and conditioned, trained like a beast. Was that same near end of your partnership Billy?
3) Ricky clearly listened to Billy and followed his instructions but in later fights he would talk back In the corner. Was that the same in gym Billy?
4) Ricky got his jaw broke in a fight, if it was costing lasting physiological issues why did he not see a sports psychologist?
5) Ricky's form starting going down hill when he was due to become a dad, did that effect his hunger?
6) Ricky stopped using his strengths that got him 2 world titles, e.g stop using his reach, working behind a solid jab. Did you tell him to change away from this winning formula Billy, or did he do this in fights off his own back?
7) Did the hype/praise go to Rickys head Billy?

The reasons I make these points is it appears that Billy is wrongly getting blame for everything that has went wrong with Billy, and for sake of his reputation and obviously without slagging Ricky off as I know he wouldn't I ask Billy to answer these questions, as its not his fault so why should he get blame.

 

Mate I don't need to answer any of the above questions, what I will say is I slept tight at night knowing I gave 100% not only to Ricky but every boxer I've trained! however you don't always get 100% back.
Also people chatting in your ears doesn't help!!!!!

 

Point taking, I understand what would have went on their and I wouldn't repeat certain things I have heard as not my place ! But others should go through them questions themselves and piece it together, not rocket science. On other hand, do you think if Paul Smith vacates British and Callum Smith bypasses as it looks likely that Brophy is ready to challenge or it? I think he is, as stated on a thread I think he beats Buglioni just now what are your thoughts?

 

So you're training a world champion in a world title fight would you have pulled him out? In hindsight it's all fine and dandy to say "Ricky was hurt he shouldn't have fought on" put yourself in that corner of either being Ricky or Billy if you were Ricky would you want to be pulled out and lose your title? If you were Billy would you pull your guy out not knowing how serious it was and just give his title up? I don't think anyone would do that in a world title fight unless it was an obvious injury like with Ortiz.
