V amatérském ringu Benvenuti prohrál jediný ze 120 zápasů. Kromě olympijského zlata ve váze do 67 kg se stal v letech 1957 a 1959 dvakrát mistrem Evropy.
K profesionálům přestoupil v roce 1961 a čtyři roky nato získal světový titul v lehké střední váze po vítězství nad krajanem Alessandrem Mazzinghim na San Siru. Po porážce s Korejcem Kim Ki-soem a ztrátě mistrovského pásu přešel do vyšší váhové kategorie a v ní se stal světovým šampionem poté, co v newyorské Madison Sqaure Garden v roce 1967 porazil Emilea Griffithe z Amerických Panenských ostrovů.
Kariéru Benvenuti ukončil v roce 1971 s bilancí 82 vítězství a sedm porážek. V roce 1992 byl uveden do boxerské Síně slávy.
