    Very professional

    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. He was tremendous and deserves to be in the Boxing HOF

              Jimmy Lennon Sr. and Buffer are both excellent. Buffer likely took a page from Lennon's book with the correct pronunciation of Spanish names, etc.

                  What about Harry Balough, Johnny Atti, or Joe Humphreys?

                    Chuck Hall all the way. All the big fights from the 70s and 80s come to mind and it always seemed to be Hall as ring announcer.
