He was a well-known legend, very well known among boxers, but they all avoided him strategically. Banton was the penultimate holder aba Middleweight Championship. Many boxing insiders referred to Banton as “too good for his own good”. Dennis Banton was at the top of the field in a great competetive era in the 1980s. Fighters just avoided him without explanation. Regardless, Dennis Banton possessed a special gift and talent for boxing, and they all knew it. Banton was one of those boxers who wasn’t a big pay day, but one of several fights offered would’ve changed that instantly. He beat up on elite top contenders all career long, remained in the top ten best, but was never given a chance for a title. If he was offered more opportunistic title fights, we would probably be ranking this man among the top ten greats. Mark Breland, World Welterweight champion  referred to Banton as one of the best boxers he's ever seen .
