Agree with all of that, but for Haye to have been taken as a serious contender for a World title , he would've had to blow Bellew out of there very handily inside 5 or 6 rounds.
Even if he hadn't got injured and eventually stopped Bellew late on, that wouldn't be good enough to suggest Haye was ready for a World title shot.
