    Torres is a level above Aussie Jeff imo. I think he'd stop a game Harding somewhere after or around 5 or 6.

    Torres here too. Just a better talent and boxer than Jeff who's toughness won't be enough but will see him battered.

    Interestingly Jose Torres, who was fairly inactive after twice losing to D1ck Tiger, was brought out to Australia as an opponent for a tough Aussie Lt Heavy called Bobby Dunlop who was being groomed for world honours and Torres seen as a "name" and stepping stone to achieve those ends. Unfortunately for Dunlop no one gave Torres the memo and he badly outclassed the Aussie before stopping him in 6 (from memory). Dunlops world title aspirations were extinguished and his career never really recovered.

    Years later Bobby was still tough and sharp enough to work as a sparring partner for Jeff Harding.
