What you think of Claude Abrahams of Boxing News, he been the editor of Boxing News since the 1990's taking over from the late Harry Mullan I believe.

I like Claude and agree with the majority of stuff he says - his views and reports on fights.

I remeber allegedly allegedly fell out with Boxing News before and sent them a public open letter which they published on their front page.

allegedly allegedly also slagged of Claude Abrahams for saying Roy Jones Jnr was the best boxer of all time (he's the best I seen in my life)

Warren didnt agree and scorned Claude Abrahams view - and even said once that he didnt even rate Roy Jones - thats a bit rich when his Sports Network are full of paper Champions - and Roy Jones was the best fighter of his generation.

I agreed with Claude as I find his views more fair and professional, but allegedly allegedly always just slags off fighters who he dont promote.

What do you think about Claude Abrahams and how you think he is doing editoting Boxing News?

We all have a difference of opinion. Roy Jones at his peak might have given a lot of fighters a tricky night.

Does that make him as good as Marvin Hagler, Carlos Monzon, Jose Napoles, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles and Michael Spinks? I doubt it.

I think Claude may have been overwhelmed with the Ruiz fight, and I suspect allegedly allegedly respects Claude as one professional would respect another.

Its no big deal really. The best fighter I have seen in the flesh is Donald Curry, but I bet many doubt he is the best ever.

As for Claude Abrams, I think he does a fine job with Boxing news, though I think there is too much emphasis on overseas fights.

As for F rank Warren, he is probably the best promoter and manager we have seen. Lets face it, if it wasnt for him, would professional boxing exist as it does now?

Perhaps some might question whether it was the right move taking Boxing News into magazine format and away from being an industry paper, but I don't know. There are arguments both ways.
