Who's the Better Boxing Announcer?

[SkillspayBills]

Buffer, easily.

I love the way he pronounces Couture as cowtooooorrrrrrr...

Wrong Buffer my freind, wrong Buffer.

This gotta be a joke,its Buffer hands down.Ppl know his catch phrase a World around. I doubt alot of ppl know who Lennon is.

I've heard Buffer mess up more often than Lennon.

Im sure he's done a **** load more announces also.The more you do then the other guy,the more likely you'll mess up compared to the guy that does a **** load less.

Besides Showtime Championship Boxing, Lennon does Fox Sports events and he does Elite XC, some Shobox, VS. (I've seen Buffer do a VS. event, too but mainly HBO stuff and old WCW) and he does some of the independent PPVs... he's probably more active than Buffer, currently...

This says different.Mr. Buffer announces internationally for many different sports, entertainment, corporate and private events often utilizing “LGRTR!”®. He is considered the “Premier Sports and Entertainment Announcer” by millions of fans worldwide. He is in high demand internationally for TV/Film/Radio voice-over work, as a product spokesperson, TV commercials and special personal appearances for sports, entertainment, corporate events and special promotions.Mr. Buffer's international exposure is huge, with Europe being his largest market outside the U.S. Michael Buffer has established himself as an American sports icon and his "Let's Get Ready to Rumble®" trademark phrase, surpassing over $400,000,000 in retail sales of its licensed and branded products, has firmly positioned itself as a part of American Culture.

He's not flashy or as famous, but I think Lennon does as good of a job as anyone out there. Also a fan of the "mas macho" guy - what's his name?

I know WWE used Buffer for the Holyfield/Matt Hardy angle...

I'd be interested to see a list of his 2007 bookings...

Sure, the thread says "better", though. Lennon is probably more accessible and cheaper. I just think he's polished and professional, and like I said - I've seen Buffer do some "messups" lately... For example, the Forrest-Mosley fight I went to instead of saying "Indianapolis, Indiana", he said "Indiana, Indiana" There was one that came up on ESPN Classic where he messed up announcing the scorecards too.

Either way, Buffer's got a more distinctive voice and brings a more big-event feel through his announcing. Soundtraveler's actually better than a number of guys you see on smaller cards on FSN, Shobox, ESPN, etc., don't you think? He's got that "radio" voice same as Buffer
