aye same, quite clear IMO. Haye ahead of khan because of his achievements earlier on in his career, cruiser etc. However if khan beats maidana then winner of bradley/Alexander he overtakes haye unless Hayes beaten a klit...which doesn't look likely at the mo Mad Matt Hatton knocking on that door as well
