Most people forget or overlook him. He just plain did a classy job. He never had to be THE attraction like someone else... I voted for Mr Hall. May he R.I.P.

S.G. 03-24-2009, 09:40 PM it dont feel like a mega fight without Buffer 1SILVA 03-24-2009, 11:24 PM I'm glad you had a poll with Chuck Hall listed. Most people forget or overlook him. He just plain did a classy job. He never had to be THE attraction like someone else... I voted for Mr Hall. May he R.I.P. Before Buffer, Hall did most of the major Vegas and closed circuit fights.

Buffer likely took a page from Lennon's book with the correct pronunciation of Spanish names, etc. MANGLER 03-25-2009, 01:35 AM Just can't **** wit Buffer's 'get ready to rumble' line. Classic.

All the big fights from the 70s and 80s come to mind and it always seemed to be Hall as ring announcer. Poet 1SILVA 03-26-2009, 02:55 PM What about Harry Balough, Johnny Atti, or Joe Humphreys? Johhny Addie is a great choice. He did several big fights at MSG when it was the Mecca of Boxing southpaw_07 03-26-2009, 03:35 PM What about David Diamante?
