    Buffer has a better voice and catchphrase, but Lennon doesn't try to tell stories and take too much time yapping.

    it's weird, but on TV, I'd rather hear Jimmy Lennon Jr. But Buffer does make a bigger difference when you're there live.

    i dont really have a preference. they both do a good job.

    i can't stand bruce buffer tho. he's garbage.

    who was that guy that used to do USA's tuesday night fights? something Mero?

    and i liked the old announcer from the 80s and early 90s. I forget his name.

    Agreed, Bruce Buffer blows.

    As far as the poll i don't have a huge preference either way, but i voted for Michael Buffer as i just prefer his voice.

    I know it's either Chuck Hall or Chuck Hull.

    He's the greatest ever. No one said "Champion of the World" or any nickname better than Chuck.
