londoner Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 He was a really good fighter and great trainer. He won two trainer of the year awards. In his pro career he never once hit the canvas in 76 fights. You can see who he trained here: http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/George_Benton That's a real who's who list of legends.
