    We're talking last 23 years. Obviously if you don't think Mikey B. is the GOAT your opinion is trash, but you could argue his prime was in the nineties. The question is whether the gradually declining timbres of Let's Get Ready To Rumble hold up against the work of his peers.

    Lupe sounds sleazy to me with his "¿Quién es el más macho?" - just makes my skin crawl, Contreras shouldn't be allowed within a mile of any schools, says my gut. :lol:

    Diamante's dorky as heck, big time try hard, hair is an eyesore... only redeeming quality is that he brought back the old-school bit of repeating each fighter's surname twice, but...meh.

    Lennon, like Buffer, probably peaked in the late 20th.

    Joe's my guy. Nothing ostentatious, just consistent and professional, makes events seem important without drawing undue attention to himself.

    Jimmy Lennon jr. and it's not even close. Other hacks announce a fight like it's all about THEM not the fight.

    I forgot all about Thomas Treiber. You could call that either a scathing indictment (of his bland forgettability) or a testament to his serving the event instead of vice versa (the same way a "good" referee is said to be one that has a firm, fair, light touch...one you never notice getting overly involved in a match)
