I’d favor both clearly. In fact, I think Conteh may stop him down the stretch. I’ve never seen Torres as anything special. Being a D’Amato fighter enhanced his reputation with future generations. Particularly as one of the prototypes of the peek-a-boo style.
I think both are better than Pastrano, but I don't think it's by enough to make them a lock over Torres. Torres' aggression could really give both of them fits. I pick Hill by razor thin decision, and Conteh by somewhat clear decision.
Conteh wasn't some iron man. With Torres' power and handspeed, I give him a legit chance at icing Conteh. Pastrano had a FAR better chin than Conteh.
Torres looked like a beast against Pastrano, though it's questionable how much Willie still had left in the tank by that time. Torres proved he could chase down a skilled boxer and walk through a fighter who couldn't punch and hurt him, so I think the question then becomes whether either Conteh or Hill had enough power to affect the outcome of this fight. C0nteh was a decent banger before he broke his hand, while Hill only showed flashes of power on occasion.
