He beat Kevin Anderson (current Commonwealth welterweight champion) twice and Barry Morrison (current British Masters light-welterweight champion) when he was only 15 years old and Morrison was 17. He also knocked out Gary Young during sparring and has beaten Craig McEwan seven times.”
christ i stand corrected!Mcewan looked like a pretty big middleweight too.sorry for doubting you mate it just sounded a bit far fetched.
Well for the up and comer prospects I guess Appleby has the best opportunity to be a genuine world champion. I was fairly disapointed in AAA against Cook, I had hoped he would win and thought he could go on and beat some of the better guys at super feather. I doubt he will make much of an impression at lightweight against the top 10 of that division. I would be willing to listen if you have any names I should look out for over the next few years. At the moment McEwan has not shown enough form to representv a future world title challenger but he is getting a very good education that will put him in good sted when he makes his return to Scotland, I wish him all the look.
thanks mate i apprciate your input.youve hit the list i think diffrent about ?mcEwan.i think he has a lot going for him and will stand a better shot for a legit belt in the long term now appleby shows a lot of promise,i think he could do well and is being brought along nicely. there is not many i rate to become dead cert form scotland.one i do sya who has been decent in all his fights is kris carslaw from paisley.also kenny anderson is worth watching;he had a decent amatuer career.but has been let down badly by fights gettin pulled etc.
