And I see it said a lot about unifying cruiser but did he really? I mean the wbo. while O'Neil Bell unified the 3 major belts Holyfield actually held.



Thing is Bell won then lost the belts to the guy Haye bashed up in Mormeck then he (Bell) went on a losing streak and dissapeared, Haye was looking to move to Heavyweight well before he got the WBA, WBC and WBO plus the Ring mag belt in he Enzo fight.

3 belts qualifies for unifying and personally i think he'd have put Bell to sleep
I dunno about Haye sleeping Bell but it's more plausible than the much talked about Haye v Holyfield 'what if' when he went up . Bell could bang and he got Mormeck out first and he also grabbed The Ring belt. Surely Haye benefited a bit from the 22 rounds of lumber Bell put on Mormeck prior but guess that goes for anyone after the fact. True true 3 belts qualify but still..the wbo . Bell did go out rough. Came back for 1 win then next we heard he was being gunned down by street trash. Sad really.
