He has blamed this lack of activity squarely on Don King. The IBF stripped him of the title for not facing mandatory Steve Cunningham in April and a proposed rematch with Mormeck in August did not occur either(2 really exciting matches!)

I thought him and Chris Byrd was going to fight.
Can't blame everything on King. Bell did have to pull out of a fight due to dental surgery. And that "Super fighter tournament" (or whatever it was called) getting canceled wasn't King's fault. As for the Bell-Mormeck rematch? I think the outcome will be the same. Bell by knock out win.Quote:

It was a great fight though!!Quote:

There are some good ones too. Bell's not a dominant guy, I don't see him having a long stretch as undisputed champ, cause he's vulnerable enough that it wouldn't surprise me at all if he lost to Cunningham, Mormeck, or especially Jones. But he can definitely beat anybody out there on any given night as well, if he lost the title it wouldn't surprise me if he won it back at some point.
Agreed Ouma. He's resilient and vunerable at the same time. Looks terrible one night against Brown then kills Mormeck. Be;; - Mormeck II is going to be awesome. Has to happen in early 2007.
Bell-Mormeck II is slated for March a date is yet to be determined...
Yep, look at the Rothman fight, great finish but lackluster performance all the way up till that.Quote:

Amat,I'm going to download Wlod-Cunningham when I get the time,and then I'll try past the fight on to you if you would like? I have to admit,I was wrong,I have done a bit of research and it is pretty cool the the top gys in the division have fought each other and Mormeck Bell was a great great fight and there are so many variables so I think this division is better than I originally thought. :-[ :P ;D
Bell has David Haye as his WBC mandatory, he and his promoter will ring plenty of money for Bell if he wants the fight, look out for that soon boxing fans, Haye is coming to town and he means business man.
Now there is a fight that interests me! I still give the edge to Bell for now, but Haye does have them rocket fists.Quote:
