Haye is not ranked in the WBA of the Heavyweight division because he's not a Don King fighter.

Don King Fighters at heavyweight (compare these to the WBA rankings): Nicolay Valuev, Kali Meehan, John Ruiz, Andrew Golota, Mike Mollo, Davaryll Williamson, Kevin McBride, Ray Austin, Sam Peter, Jameel McCline, Larry Donald, James Toney.
That has nothing to do with the fact that they're Don King fighters, its just that they are clearly the cream of the crop at Heavyweight.
