Question though....
How does that work?
If Haye is moving up to Heavy. and fighting at Heavy. against Tomasz Bonin doesn't he loose his ranking at Crusier?

I thought thats the way it was.....
Ha! As I suspected....

Zahir Raheem vs. Armando Cordoba - ND (8 of 8 rds.)
Originally a unanimous decision win for Raheem, Raheem requested that the result be changed to "No Contest" due to the fact that he had weighed in at 143 lbs. (Light Welterweight is 140) and did not wish his position in the sanctioning bodies in the 130 lb. div. (Lightweight) rankings to be affected by the original result.

So you see if Haye moves up and fights at Heavy. it should and normally would change his ranking with the WBC.....
Don't get me wrong I'm exicited for the fight, I was just curious about that I just learned something new......
He is still #1 because he fought an eliminator and won it. it should of been him and bell last, but it was a rematch so they are alowing him to fight bonin as bonin is ranked number 12 by the wbc or sumin like that.

Is basicaly down to the fact that he had won the right to get the next shot, but as bell was busy with JMM they are alowing him to make a quick fight to HW then back to fight JMM
I will assume you read an article or something that is leading you to believe the WBC is allowing this....
Or are you just saying this from your point of view?
