    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.

    I'll give you the WBO bit actually you royal flushed me there
    Would have loved to see Haye v Bell, would have been a shootout i just think Haye had the speed to get in and land big first, shame we never saw it but the timing was all wrong unfortunately and i don't think Haye would have even if he could as he was telling anyone who'd listen he wanted the Heavyweight move as soon as he won the European strap.
    Didn't Bell end up stabbed then shot during some robbery that turned bad?
    Well very bad because he died

    Yeh for sure, all jokes aside no denying speed and power of Haye and what massive opportunity he had at that moment. Inexplicably though he made it to the mount, Wlad, and just left it at that and walked away for years. Bell always struck me a little off and had his problems with the law and a violent temper. Beat up a neighbor, hit a girlfriend and threw a hatchet at a friend in training camp. Later diagnosed Bi poler and court ordered medicated and was murdered getting off a bus just a month after he spent a couple years in prison.
