George Benton - Was an American boxer and boxing trainer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His first amateur bout was when he was thirteen. He turned professional three years later at the age of sixteen. He boxed professionally from 1949 to 1970 and defeated future world champions Freddie Little, Jimmy Ellis, and Joey Giardello. In seventy-six professional fights, he was never knocked down and was stopped just twice, on a cut against Luis Manuel Rodriguez and when he didn't come out for the final round of his fight with Bennie Briscoe. Benton had a professional record of 62-13-1 (37 KOs).

One of the best defensive boxers of all time! George Benton was not only a great boxer but one of the all time great trainers as well. His list includes such fighters as Evander Holyfield, Rocky Lockridge, Mike McCallum, Meldrick Taylor, and Pernell Whitaker among many others. www.patreon.com/haNZAgod
Carter vs. Benton highlights??!!
Wow! What a list!
After Evander left Main Events, The Duva's Management, he should have kept Georgie on as his trainer!!
Georgie, like Pernell Whitaker would have POLISHED AND ENHANCED EVANDER'S DEFENSE to which he would have been near unbeatable for almost five years as Heavyweight Champion.
@@freddy8479 He definitely should have stuck with Benton I agree with that loved his corner work as well.
I really appreciate the passion your channel has for the old boxers that most people have never heard of. (myself included)
Dont know if he created the Philly shell but he was definitely a pioneer of it. Great work hanz as usual
I heard he did create it
@Zeno Kyriakides before Benton there was Charley Burley who adapted it to his style and modified it
@Zeno Kyriakides yes
He deff might not be the one who invented but for sure mayweather dint invented neither 🤣🤣🤣🤣... he just improve it now ina this era but George did better
That form of defence is the most basic type of defence, everybody including my uncles who sparred guys like Ezzard Charles, Sonny Liston and young Jack Johnson etc used it. All those guys also used it.
George Benton is one of the visually gratifying boxers to watch. There’s something about his style and the fluidity that follows that I really like. Once again we thank you Hanza.
I’m very much in agreement with you, it is beautiful and so mesmerizing and again thank you Hanza.
Most young fight fans don't realise how pivotal George Benton was in refining the 'philly shell' technique made famous by later fighters such as James Toney and of course Floyd Mayweather.
He also trained the likes of Holyfield, Moorer, Joe Frazier and many more.
A true great of the sport.
He's the reason why you call it the Philly Shell 🐚😉
Not really, it was a prison term from the 50's. Prisoners that hailed from Philly use to fight that way in prison to avoid exposure to weapons
But Goergie made it famous forever.
This is why we call it The Sweet Science.
The original shoulder roller ( Philly Shell), from Philadelphia Pa. the great middleweight boxer and legendary boxing 🥊 trainer, the Professor, Mr. Georgie Benton. Rest In Power 🥊💯✊🏿🖤✊🏿⚔️
Wonderful subtle defensive parries and small movement while maintaining balance for counter-punching. He could be outworked but not out-skilled.
Yeah laid back to much
The crazy thing is the Philly shell was originally an offensive stance but it was adopted and crafted into a defensive style
One of the slickest fighters ive ever seen. If you wanna learn how to stand in the pocket and fight, watch George Benton!
The OG shoulder roll looks cooler then todays Modern shoulder roll because he isn’t leaning back, he’s just standing straight up
Absolute Fantastic Footage and Brilliant Soundtrack to go with it 👌
I watch this video almost everyday. I like the style. Good music too.
Yet another beautiful montage. His use of the Philly Shell was phenomenal. Like many of the montages you post, I haven't heard of George Benton before. Thank you for recognizing greatness. I absolutely love boxing and your channel. ❤🥊
I like how you take something like boxing which looks chaotic and violent and pair it with easy music of moby or bonobo. Plus the frequency of the video you upload. God bless you man.
Thank you for posting this George was my godfather! I love to see stuff like this
Definition of a smooth mover
My favorite defensive fighter
Beautiful !
Masterful defence, masterful video. Thank you!
I can literally see Shades of Mike McCallum in this footage or put it correctly, I can see shades of Benton in Mike McCallum👌🏾. Not saying he gave him Mike his talent but he definitely harnessed it! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Excellent defensive master.
Exactly
Just taller more aggressive
Shorter I mean
First upload of 2021 didn't disappoint!
For me, defense highlights are always the best to watch. Poetry in motion.
Well done Hanzagod👊
Same. The art as it is.
Man I wish their was more videos of him,his skills are a thing of beauty and I love the way he talked too his fighters he train back in the day! Never met the man but I Iove and respected him,God bless him!! If he was fighting today he wouldn't been a Champion it's like 5 world champions in one division and that's a joke! also listen too Buddy Mcgirt who's one of my favorites talk about him he was a Master in the ring and in that corner!!
Awesome fighter and a hell of a trainer too
The Great Boxing 🥊 Uncrowned Middleweight Champion 👑of the World, no other then , Mr. George Benton from Philadelphia Pa. Rest In Power and Thank you.💯✊🏿🖤✊🏿⚔️
Beautiful boxing
Another of Philly;s finest. He had a jab like a sword and the ability to make heavy hitters miss while staying within range at all times. A great video!
Trained Spinks when he beat Ali.
One of the most underrated trainers ever
@@UntouchableBreakdowns very underrated asf.
Past prime old as hell ali doesn’t say much
Live these gems you keep putting out! Thank you
always impressive to see how these boxers had a great level, beautiful boxe
Some of these clips remind me of a young Meldrick Taylor. Same whip left hook counters. Great video!
Hanz you da man!!! This was the first defense taught to me by my coach. Still cant see why everyone hates it. Oh well keep up the great work💯💯💯
Awesome channel. Thanks for the work.
haNZAgod vids give me strength in these dark days, I look forward to every vid. Beautiful vid ma boy. Respect. 👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥
Another great George Benton vid!
0:41 Great skills
A master against the ropes like Nicolino locche or Wilfredo Benitez
That’s my FIGHTER! Hurricane Carter. 🥊🥊
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 He was a murderer.
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 nice seeing you here 🤣🤣
You can see where Toney got his moves from.
Toney got his moves from Walcott, Moore, Charles, and Robinson (not sure he ever studied Benton)
@@clarkkent8286 his trainer studied George Benton which ultimately ended up making the foundation of toneys style. I’m not an expert on Toney myself but I remember reading several articles on that topic and it’s quite interesting.
@@UntouchableBreakdowns More Jimmy Carter really. James Toney trainer was trained by Jimmy Carter himself which you'll see more similarities between Carter and Toney.
@@antoniomosley9410 you've got a very solid point there.
@@UntouchableBreakdowns We both do. Ezzard Charles was one of his biggest inspiration same as Archie Moore.
Duva had a tense relationship with Benton early on when he was a fighter but worked together regarding the 80's Olympic gold medallists, found that to be interesting
Tense relationship regarding what exactly?
Thank you wonders !!!
Moby fits so well for highlight videos.
Wonderful video 👍👍👍
You just make have a wonderfull video
He was truly poetry in motion. Can get tired of watching this master.
That’s why they call it the Philly shell: he’s a Philly native!
RIP to Benton he was a great Defensive boxing master , he taught Pernell Whitaker , Benton was a pretty good coach , And Benton was a great Middleweight Boxer
Benton was a GREAT coach. One of the very best!
Beautiful shoulder rolls☺️
Georgie Benton legend
Excelent video as usual, can You some day, make one about Jimmy Wilde?
Fun fact: he trained Pernell Whitaker, Meldrick Taylor and Evander Holyfield
Joe Frazier some too
James Toney, got me here I see where he got his moves from coach
Looks just like James Toney in that squared circle
🔥 🔥 🔥
George Benton didn't invent the Philly Shell but was amazing at it. Dave Holly was a early 1900s fighter and was using the Philly Shell against Joe Gans and Sam Langford.
Que hermoso deleitante
This guys videos are fucking great best content for this stuff on RUclips
Thanks man I appreciate that!
@@hanzagod they are mate keep up the work deserve all the praise
Fantastic channel, keep up the work! Because of channels like yours these gentelmen will never be forgotten! BTW, is there any chance to make a video about Antonio Cervantes? Thanks, all the best! :D
Thanks glad you like the content! Unfortunately I can't make a Cervantes reel because my previous video got taken down by his nephew and my channel received a copyright strike.
James Toney definitely watched a lot of this man
Toney watched a lot of Ezzard Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott. Charles was his main inspiration.
Your lessons are the best ...
From the clip I can see how much of it difficult opponent he was to fight against, his reactions to the coming movement are razor sharp to counteract and attack.
Awesome fighter... do you think he trained anyone he could say they were better than him?
Just asking 👍🏻
Pernell whitaker he said was his masterpiece!, Meldrick taylor could have been but he was more offensive than defensive and "richard steele" ...🤣did the rest unfortunately when it came to his career.
Pernell Whittaker emmerged the best of his time
Maestro del shoulder roll
this is like watching mayweather in black and white, the manner they both carry their stance and their build is uncanny
How do you dislike this?
Hanzagod what happened with your Michael Carbajal and Marco Antonio Barrera videos? I can't find them nowhere.
I had to unlist them due to copyright but I'll get some of the clips blurred out soon and make them public again
I see the defense-aggression i see in frazier, spinks, norton, & evander.. but that type of control you see in taylor & pernell. i mean you see it as well in briggs & some other fighters that could be named for the shell (toney or mayweather, but they had their own specific type of style).
i've been getting more into benton & barely now just trying to find whatever i can of him. he seems like such an interesting & intelligent man who had an instinct for danger. the man was never KO'd or flattened out in his 62 professional fights but never had a title shot ( part of Duva's doing ). If it's anyone I'm aiming to study, train & box like, it's Benton now hahaha.
defense first!
from a video i saw around here : "offense is defense. defense is offense" - george benton
Hey Hanza, how long did it take you to make this video?
Seems like you'd have had to watch quite a lot of footage to find the right clips.
I'm not sure on the specific time but it does take quite a while, Benton has a lot of great moments in the small amount of footage available.
@@hanzagod amazing work as usual.
That's how David tua fights
Nobody fought him only his stable and gym wars sugar Ray Robinson was older but he wasn't talking no chances with Mr benton
just going to hazard a guess that the one dislike.. is Hurricanes Carters grandson
He looks more squared than other philly shell users. His shoulders are nkt positioned to be completely bladed.
haaaaaaNZAggggggggggodod
Your channel name should be (The Bible of Boxing)
Innovator of the philly shell/shoulder roll defensive stance used by so many legendary boxers such as James 'Light Out' Toney and Floyd 'Money' Mayweather!
Mike Tyson has been in the news pointing out the history that floyd mayweather isn’t the first person to achieve his status and that money isn’t his goat...!
Pukka, in all the years it seemed to be money appeared was a striving reach for him it’s now known after having it and lost it he still has the vision he started with all those years ago.
A lot of athletes fall into a world surrounded by money and the things that it brings, yet each one will defend themselves to be right in there careers even when they have lost the lot.
Yeah I’m a big fan of the man Mike Tyson, and it’s not because I idolise him as you think!!!!! The man changed boxing back in the 90’s so it evolved into the future and then still raises attention on the past!
There’s only one person that can justify his comment?
Is he telling the truth?
Benton vs Hagler would be great in a dream fight.
I love Benton and idk to much about haggler but he’s usually ranked as top 5 best of all time in the middleweight division. Usually rank 2. Benton would have a great fight against him but I don’t believe he would win against haggler, the great sugar ray Leonard was doubted to beat him.
I would prefer Hagler vs Rubin Carter
@@somethingrandom7026 haggler by a mile there, be an interesting slug fest fight I believe.
@@UntouchableBreakdowns I agree completely, Rubin would give him a tough time but I think Hagler would definitely take it.
@@somethingrandom7026 I do believe that Marvin hagler will win but not by much. I also think he will win just because of his incredible toughness in the ring.
Chooon
I’m all about some black abs white film footage!
i didnt t
Floyd Mayweather before Floyd Mayweather.
The man that created the Philly shell the defense that Floyd Mayweather, the junior use contrary to popular belief Mayweather did not create that defense like he makes it seem.
The old Mayweather
Water
Ol school fighters completely obliterate all recent.CANELO ,FLOYD,BUD, PAQUIAO,TANK DAVIS,LOMACHENKO,SHAKUR,HANEY, TEOFIMO ,SPENCE🤣........ALL GET DESTROYED.
Mayweather before mayweather
amazing that George never became a world champion.
Floyd mastered a defence which was created by previous generations of boxers so it like a man who mastered to type on keyboard.
