    George Benton. He was an absolute badness of a fighter in a very tough era and went on to train fighters under Eddie Futch in the 70's and under the Duva's in the 80's, 90's and 2000's. He worked with three of my all time favorite fighter's Leon Spinks, Evander Holyfield and my Mike McCallum. He was with Spinks when he beat Ali and with Holyfield thru his prime and helped develop McCallum into the defensive wizard he became.
