He won all 120 of his amateur fights and his first 65 pro bouts. He was World Junior Middleweight Champion (1965-1966), World Middleweight Champion (1967-1970) and "Ring" magazine Fighter of the year (1968). Benvenuti, who is enshrined in the Boxing Hall of Fame, retired with a pro record of 82-7-1, with 35 knockouts. Minor surface creases (not evident head on) at background. Benevenuti fought US boxer Emile Griffith three times for the world Middleweight title (1967-1968), all 15-round decisions.
