    Hey guys,

    This question is directed towards the European posters. Do you agree that Michael Buffer is the best current ring announcer, and the best of all time? I was just wondering if they feel the same way that the majority of Americans do about him.

    I prefer Jimmy Lennon Jr. No problem with Buffer though I just feel he's been slipping lately.

    He for sure is the best known ring announcer out there.However,he doesnt speak any european local language,and very often the audience here in europe doesnt have a clue what he is talking about.Furthermore he isnt that famous among casual box fans here in europe.
    I for my part prefer the czech ring announcers to Buffer.The Czech know how to announce the entrance of their boys:lots of emontions.
    Buffer is too cool for my taste!

    That's cool...looks like most people agree that Buffer is the man. He really adds so much excitement to a big fight. His voice, his hook, and his style of announcing is exciting. I like how he adds certain things when he's introducing fighters. I remember one time he was announcing a Roy Jones fight, and he mentioned that in 1988 he captured a silver medal, and said "deserving gold". That was pretty unique and cool to say. He'll also add things like "he's looking for victory and glory" and when he introduces fighters like De La Hoya and Mayweather who have won titles in so many divisions it's cool. I was doing an impression of him to a friend and for a joke I had De La Hoya winning titles in every division from Strawweight to Heavyweight. "The former Straweight, former super Straweight, Former Flyweight, former Super Flyweight..."
    :lol:
