Gotta love Craig McEwans attitude

to be honest he should be calling out Darren Barker, Matthew Macklin, Andy Lee not an up and coming prospect.

 

Good i hope this happens Murray has been sitting at the same level for way to long.

 

I thought he didn't want to go down the domestic route?

Would be a decent fight but if he fights Murray and wins then he should go for Barker, Macklin, Lee.

 

Calling out martin murray and not one of the above mentioned says it all really for the 28 year old.

 

It's just as well McEwan does this blogging stuff because he won't be garnering much attention for his boxing skills.

 

I keep forgetting Craig is 28.

 

Just spoke to him an hour ago, says hes waiting to hear what the Hattons decide.

Murray aint gone past 8 rounds i dont think.

Maybe he justs to restart a bit of recognition over here.

 

Two things.

Firstly is Craig world ranked?

Secondly I like the way he is looking at this. I doubt it's a case of not being ambitious the guy has asked to fight a lot of guys (Mora, Jacobs etc.) and nothing has come of it, he is just looking to get decent fights that can keep him busy this is a realistic option, would be a chance to fight in the UK why not and would be another decent notch on his resume?

I saw on Hatton promotions that Murray is scheduled to fight Peter Mistevski Jr for the vacant title so I'm not too sure if this will happen.

 

I think coming back here chasing domestic titles would be a backward step for McEwan.

He's made his bed in the States and should lie in it..... sometimes getting wrapped up in the politics and bull**** of the domestic scene can take the eye off the job at hand, IMO.

 

yeh unless its macklin or barker stay in the US. Should try and fight mora.

 

Hi guys, Craig`s situation is that he`s over here for a few months. He became a father for a second time last week. He noticed that the Martin Murray fight has been TBA for a few weeks and, on checking up, finds he is one of the contenders. He is obviously fit and ready to fight and felt that, as Murray is unbeaten, he would be a good opponent. There would be no point asking for Macklin or Barker for this fight as they have purse bids in to fight each other.
Anyway, Goldenboy got in touch with the Hattons and they have said definitely no. He was simply looking for a bout and Murray seemed like a good option especially as GBP are looking to open up business in Europe.
He still has feelers out for a bout in Britain so hopefully he will get something.
Nothing more sinister than that, guys. You all know that its not the fighters who make the bouts and Craig has never turned one down. Don`t go slagging off Martin Murray either. I`m sure the decision not to fight Craig was not his.

 

Royal, Mistevski jnr is fighting in Australia at the end of the month so he`s out.
I`m a bit surprised at the negative responses here. Murray is 19 unbeaten, its for a title, its England v Scotland.
Mora`s and Jacobs` people have both knocked Craig back as have many others eg Lara, Angulo etc. Its frustrating for Craig but the big fights will come eventually.

 

McEwan isnt good enough to mix with... Lee, Barker, Macklin... hence why hes callin out Murray, ive not seen much of Murray... he any good?

 

I won`t point out the obvious flaws in your logic there, Ry! But check out Vera v Lee and Vera v McEwan first. Then watch Barker being hit repeatedly and easily by Affif Belghecham and ask if Craig would have let that happen. That leaves Macklin and I predict that will happen before the end of 2011....unless Macklin`s people knock it back.
