    Of course, his "Let's get ready to rumble!!!!!!!!" is classic...and copyrighted.

    So, what else have you heard?
    Here's some of mine:

    "Ladies and gentlemen...are you ready for more boxing action?"

    "Ladies and gentlemen...can you dig it?!"

    Neither one has quite the *oomph* of Buffer's phrase.

    Who's the guy that used to do it for Boxeo de Oro in Spanish? Lupe Contreras? He wasn't bad. "Y ahora, es hroa de ver QUIEN ES EL MAAAASSSSS MACHOOOOOOOOOOO!"

    I agree. The UFC announcer ( Bruce Buffer?) has a voice that seems so contrived and forced. Sounds like he's trying too hard to sound like someone else.

    Michael Buffer is KING, and Lennon Jr. is second.:good

    When I went to a live show, the guy was trying to sell it so bad his voice cracked. Made me lose confidence in him.

    Lupe Contreras seems to be the future guy that will replace Michael Buffer on HBO. His voice sounds good and classy even though he's not in Buffer's league.. but who the hell is? It will be a sad day when Buffer stops announcing. Even right now, way past his prime, he's still the best by far. :D

    For some reason I actually prefer Jimmy Lennon Jr to Buffer.
