following.mormeck in france is a big pay day....o'neil bell is fighting again at CW,i wonder if he will move up to in his late 30s

I thought Bell was supposed to be moving up to HW. 3-4 years back he was scheduled to fight on an ESPN 2 card at Heavyweight but couldn't be found 2 weeks before so the fight was canceled

I hear he's coming back and has a fight June 4th .. but why did he take so much time off?

It won't happen. He doesn't have the power or chin to compete at HW. I like Steve, but he should have relocated to Europe and focused on being undisputed champ after Haye moved up. Money may not be great, but if he wants to make any money at all in boxing, he better stay at CW.

^ but if it's the money Steve's after, won't there be better options up at Heavyweight?

I tend to agree that despite Cunningham's boxing ability he lacks the punching power to make a serious dent as a HW.

The K-Bros would eat Cunningham for breakfast, but let him try it if he thinks he can compete.

Its a bad idea, @ CW he's alright, but @ HW He'll get destroyed

he better off staying @ CW and do that tourney that they were planning

He hasa chance at a very big pay day. His age makes it so he has to act quickly though. Maybe one more fight at CW for another belt. Fight 2 fights at HW, one fight against a never was like Fields or Grant or even a Barrett or Oquendo. Then fight one against a has been. Try to get Ruiz, or Holey or Tua, or even someone like Valuev or Rahman. By the time he fights 3 more times, the HW division will either be desolated and he'd be in prime position to get a shot and a decent payday at Wlad if Wlad and Vitali win, or get a shot for a title if everyone retires or inthe 1 in a mil chance Adamek is champ.
