Very good fighter. Very underrated.
His first fight with Monzon is one of my all time favourite fights.

Solid performer with movie star looks!!! A great record and is known to be a great man! I met him in Milan Italy at the World Featherweight title bout featuring Louis Stecca challenging Ch. Leo Cruz and he was a very engaging fellow who is certainly a "boxing god" in Italy!
Won some and lost some big fights back in his day but thats what the great fighters do, they fight each other then loose a few on the road saying by and picking up a few pennies to boot!!
Clever fighter, decent punch and speed everyone respected him. Ray.

And IMO Loi ranks well ahead of him anyways.
My favorite fight of Benvenuti's was against a Korean guy... can"t remember for the life of me what the name was.Last edited by SBleeder; 01-10-2013, 11:20 AM.
