R.I.P. - George Benton

[The Surgeon]

Damn shame...

R.I.P George

[joseph5620]

The most underrated trainer of the modern era, he developed Whitaker and Holyfield, my two favorite fighters growing up and was a bad apple in the ring.

Yes. Whitaker always gave credit to Benton for shaping him into the fighter he became after Benton left his corner following a dispute with Duva(I believe it was the Duva's). I always loved listening to his instructions in the corner.

He will be missed. RIP GEORGE BENTON!

Great trainer too. Man made many contributions to the sport. My thoughts are for his family, friends and fans.

R.i.p sir you will be missed

One of history's most avoided fighters. And defensively one of the very best. If his offense was half as good he'd be an all time great hands down.
