    Couldnt help feeling that in the build up to the Hopkins fight and the Mayweather fight for that matter that Buffers performance was really sub-par

    His heart doesnt seem to be in it to me

    Thoughts?

    The "let's get ready to rumble" line isn't the same anymore. And to make matters worse, he messed up Darren Barker's name.

    Buffer is still far and away the best.... so even if he isnt a 100 percent, he still has a monopoly on his industry haha.

    No way, he's human, even he probably had trouble getting up for the Hopkins fight. Buffer's the best, he will be sorely missed when he retires, which hopefully won't be for a long time.

    I will not want him to hurt himself continuing to boxe... seriously, if he can continu to have his voice, no problem there.

    Who gives a ****? I don't. I watch boxing because I love it, not so I can watch Buffer.

    the problem is i think even he gets fed up with lousy decisions and calling every two bit joe a world champion listen to him for the big pac fights, or hatton mayweather where there is some serious interest and hes bang on the money.

    Listen to him calling Dawson the winner at weekend and you could tell even he thought it was bougus

    Yeah, exactly. He does his job competently, and is the best in the business. When he can't do it anymore, he'll hang up his microphone. End of story.
