He'd be a great addition to a very good light middle/middleweight scene domestically!!

McEwan is welcomed with open arms and Andy Lee, who KO'd his ass, is trated as a bum on this forum routinely.

I wouldn't say Lee is treated like a bum. I think alot of people are maybe frustrated with his lack of success so far as he's a talented boy.

Everybody who is anybody has had McEwan in as a sparring partner. I've never heard of an up and comming pro like McEwan being used so much as 'hired help'.

He's a welcome addition to the domestic scene, some great matches to be made

Great move by Craig, he'll get good time with Billy, he needs one to one coaching and he'll improve I believe! Same with Andy Lee! McEwan is a tough match for anyone domestically he really is! Especially if he does middleweight! Good addition and I'm sure the promoters will be really looking to get into him and quickly too as he has a world ranking with some governing bodies ;-) I wish him luck! I always found him a good lad and down to earth too...

Or alternatively....... McEwan has beaten Vera who beat Lee who beat McEwan. So McEwan could definitely kick McEwans ass!
