Gary Hinton (born 1956-08-29 in Darby, PA) is a retired American boxer who boxed at light welterweight.

Professional career

[edit]

Hinton turned pro in 1978.In 1985 he challenged Aaron Pryor for the IBF light welterweight title and lost a split decision over 15 rounds.[1] When Pryor was stripped of his title for not defending it, he won the vacant IBF light welterweight title with a decision win over Reyes Antonio Cruz in 1986.[2] He lost the title in his first defense to Joe Manley by KO later that year, exactly 12 years after Muhammad Ali defeated George Foreman.
