At times, for big fights in vegas, both have been very favourable. I remember around the days of Tyson/Holyfield, Lennon Jr was majorly in favour. Nowadays we see alot more of Michael Buffer for the big fights. Which do you prefer? Showtime or Let's get ready to rumble?

Definitely Michael Buffer, he's the king of Ring Announcers

Yeh Michael Buffer's quality

"For the thousands in attendance and millions watchimng around the world...."

I too am with Buffer, but I'm never disappointed with lil' Jimmy.

haha, haven't seen the contender. I know I should but I never got around to it.

The worst commentator I've evr heard is the dude from the Ricky Hatton DVD. His voice is just plain horrible. If you saw the replay of the Maussa fight on Setanta, he did the commentary for that. Just horrible.

Gotta give my man Jimmy a vote. I know he doesn't have that big "lets get ready to rumble" line but I love hearing him before the fights when "its showtime". He kinda has that old timers voice.

Michael Buffer is THE boxing announcer that all others are and will be compared to....

I know I am in the minority but I like Jimmy Lennon Jr......"Alright fight fans here....we.....go"

Buffer all the way.
I can only imagen what its like to have him call out your name.

However, there is an announcer in New England that sounds just like the old old style announcer with that high pitch, raspy voice. That is just old school, and Classic.

Here's the Contender guy, listen to his intro of Peter Manfredo and picture Captain Caveman

No style, no finesse just screams at the top of his lungs

It's a tough choice...I think they're both great, and it'll be hard to replace either of em. Hence why I made the poll

Goddamnit, work computer doesn't have sound. Don't they realise I use work time for Saddo time? Inconsiderate bastards.

I'll check it when I get home and get downloading from the file sharing board later.

I like jimmy coz he seems more down to earth than buffer but on announcing ability buffer wins imo.

This should be a landslide. Lennon sucks.

Michael Buffer is a pimp.
