    For all-time or the 90's would agree. IMO both have lost a step.

    Although in the aughts they were both still pretty damn good, on Showtime and HBO respectively. Two networks that no longer air boxing, which is crazy to wrap my head around. :dunno

    We have this idiot announcer for fights in my part of the world (Australia/NZ) who is so over the top that I seriously want to punch myself in the face whenever he enters the ring.

    Lt Dan Hennessey is his name. He is the single worst ring announcer in modern boxing.

    I voted Buffer, but Joe and Lupe are tied for second. And I’m also gonna say that I’m a fan of the “Quien es el mas macho!”

    I think you bought a bad Prius off Lupe's car lot in Fontana and didn't get the extended warranty and now you gotta take the bus.

    Who the hell vot3e for that cringeworthy Diamante? His hair must stink; you can't tye sweat smell out of dreadlocks.

    Michael Buffer with Lennon jr a close second.

    Who's the guy that says This is boxing. And ooooooh baby this is the main event of the evening?

    Buffer. Radio perfect, hits exactly the right tone, balances solemn importance and bombastic Americana and makes everyone else sound corny and strained by comparison.
    And he'd still diddle your wife
