Who is the best Ring Announcer?

That guy Bruce Buffer on UFC is probably the worst. He's trying way too hard and it results in a growling voice. It's supposed to be effortless. He doesn't belong.

Imagine how Darren Barker felt then when Buffer introduced him in the Geale fight :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

I think best right now is Lupe Contrerashttp://a.espncdn.com/photo/2014/0923/box_lupe43_cr_576x324.jpg I love the way he says the fighters "kos" in spanish... "by way of chloroform" lol

"Lets get ready to rumble" gets me more pumped than "It's Showtime". Agreed.. It's hard to explain, but "Let's get ready to rumble" builds the anticipation to a high level and then the excitement maintains at that level until the fight starts. It seems that after "It's Showtime!" is announched, the excitement level immediately drops.. More than that, I like when buffer does the introductions for Mexican, Russian, or any foreign fighter. This Pac Intro was awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG_t3KFUoww Love the Intro for Marquez here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdK7C2Ipwjo#t=53s

Lennon called Abner Cotto during a weigh in Abner Mares

Ive always liked the classy jimmy lennon jr

:lol1: Buffer's way past prime man, give him a break. For the money he gets he should know the names of the fighters though. He has ONE job :lol1:

Oh my fvcking god..now we have ring announcer fans Settle down :lol1: no need to blow a gasket, it's just a harmless poll.

Oh my fvcking god..now we have ring announcer fans

Imagine how Darren Barker felt then when Buffer introduced him in the Geale fight :lol1: I'm changing my vote to Jimmy Lennon now. :nono:

I like Lennon better now. Buffer hasn't been the same since his health issues.

JLJ is the best at announcing in English/Spanish. Watch his perfect Spanish introduction of Roman Gonzalez and Omar Soto at the MGM Grand.

If a boxer gets to chose, who do you think he wants his name to be announced... Imagine how Darren Barker felt then when Buffer introduced him in the Geale fight :lol1:

David Diamonte!

Let's get ready to rumbllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Michael Buffer is akin to baseball; Jimmy Lennon Jr is akin to football/soccer. The "let's get ready to rumble" tagline has been wildly successful, largely due to the cache that it picked up with the Tyson/Holyfield/Bowe/Lewis era of heavyweight boxing. Still, when it comes to the skill of announcing and building the spector of an event, there's no one that currently does it better than Jimmy Lennon Jr. And that's the case in Montreal, Mexico City, Moscow, Munich, the MGM Grand in Vegas, or any other venue/locale that you can think of. You add that Lennon Jr is only 55 (Buffer is 70) and I'm not sure why this is much of a debate tbh.

Feel sorry for Lennon there. Nobody gave a **** about his "it's fight time." Everyone went wild for "lets get ready to rumble."

Lets get ready to rumble!

I think best right now is Lupe Contrerashttp://a.espncdn.com/photo/2014/0923/box_lupe43_cr_576x324.jpg

I’M THE BEST, I MUST CONFESS, ALL THE REST, THERE’S NO CONTEST... Buffer of course
