Whatever happened to Jeff Harding?

His 2 round war with Tom "The Bomb" Collins was sensational.

 

Luved him as a fighter but I think he took way too much punishment from everyone he fought. Captain courageous who fought way above his ability to win a world title.

 

Actually I think his ability is somewhat underrated. He had a pretty good skill set, just chose to stand and trade a lot of the time. I bet many aren't aware he was actually rated at #1 by the WBC at 168lbs prior to the Andries fight.

 

He wasn't hard to miss though Ippy, even Andries telegraphed bombs always found their mark but what a chin on Harding. I use to shudder when he'd wear bombs & come right back. Tough bugger with a great attitude. Its a shame he's ended up where he is now.

 

Jeff was 1 of my favorite fighters form that era, tough as nails
