    He's the undisputed champion from the division below and already beat a guy who was ranked #11 by them . Where do you feel he should be ranked by them ?

    You conveniantly forgot to answer the question about Haye being WBC/WBA/WBO and Ring Mag cruiser champ, didn't you? Have you only started watching boxing this month or something? Fighters move from one division all the time and are usually given title shots straight off the bat. Look at some of the great light-heavies that moved to heavy and were given title shots because of their reputations at 175 rather than any wins at heavy.

    Yes but that doesn't prevent the WBC from having him ranked 11th and it doesn't stop the fact that Haye was the undisputed Cruiserweight champion .

    So where in the rankings do you believe the WBC should have him ?

    Haye needs to beat one good fighter and he is eligible for a title shot in my opinion.

    5th is very fair, hopefully the WBO, WBA and IBF will do simular.

    How does the ranking system work anyway. Because as an example how can hatton be the consensus lightwelterweight champ and be ranked 6th by the IBF.

    Because he beat Tszyu who was WBA/WBC/IBF/lineal champ(although he created this lineage himself) .
