Boxrec still rank Bellew as a cruiserweight, he's joint 2nd/3rd with Huck. The Boxrec heavyweight rankings are mess, mostly because the division is. Bellew isn't a bum either, he's a decent cruiserweight.
The word bum get thrown around too easily, he is certainly not a bum. But he's not a world class heavy weight. He's a top class cruiser. I can't think of any fighter that couldn't have beaten Haye last night from light heavy upwards.
A good few would have been taken out early on. No top ones though.
