Bernard Benton (born January 6, 1957) is an American retired professional boxer in the Cruiserweight division who held the WBC and The Ring cruiserweight titles.
Known as "The Bull", Benton turned pro in 1981 and won the WBC and lineal cruiserweight titles with a decision win over Alfonso Ratliff in 1985.[2] He was due to defend against David Pearce who had knocked him out in a previous amateur bout. Benton declined to fight Pearce and subsequently lost the belt in his first defense to Carlos De León via decision the following year.[3] He retired in 1995.
