Defensive highlights of the former top Middleweight contender.
George Benton – Was a boxer and famous boxing trainer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Benton became the #1 ranked middleweight in the world in the early 1960s, but he never got a shot at the world title. In 1962, after he beat Giardello, Benton thought that he would get a title shot. However, Giardello’s manager, Lou Duva, was well connected and was able to get Giardello a fight with Dick Tiger for the World Middleweight Championship, which Giardello won by decision. “Yeah, I screwed George out of his shot,” Duva said. “He didn’t even know about it till I told him many years later.”
