Haye Ranked 4th at Heavy WTF!!

[sonny78]

I just picked up a copy of Boxing Monthly and David Haye is ranked 4th in the world at Heavyweight

1. Wlad
2. Vitali
3. Chagaev
4. Haye
5. Valuev
6. Ibragimov
7. Peter
8. Provetkin
9. Ruiz
10. JC Gomez

How can you have 2 fights and be ranked 4th I think he has done a good job getting his name about and getting the fight with Wlad, but no way can he be ranked this high after a fight with Barret

What do you think?

I think he gets a lot of credit being the unified cruiserweight champ, but its to make him look like a more viable opponent on paper for Klitschko... I am surprised that Don King isn't his promoter, King always had a way of fixing those rankings with all his connections.

Key word there is Crusierweight!!!!!...Sure we see how guys from lower divisions get thrsut into title bouts in higer weight classes because of the former title status but to actually rank them

Almost freaking blasphemy

The majority of them usually end up going straight into a title bout.

Number 4 my ass!!! Hell I guess Tomasz Adamek could gain 15 pounds,fight and beat Fabio Eduardo Moli and rank number 5 in the hw division after all he(Tomasz Adamek) is ranked #1 in the cw division
maybe even fight Haye for that number 4 spot while all the other deserving heavyweights line up for a chance at the winner,holy shit!!! maybe one of the deserving heavyweights could even fight for a belt one day.

I have no problem with Haye being ranked high, he was the best at cruiser and moved up.
I doubt we'd be having this conversation if say Cotto moved from 147 to 154 and he got ranked 4.
Its up to one of the so called deserving HW's tp beat him and prove that David doesnt deserve the ranking. I think it'll happen soon enough.

Boxing Monthly's a good magazine but maybe favor Haye because he's Brittish, personally I don't think he's a top 10 heavy yet but he is by far the most exciting heavy out there, if the Wlad fight doesn't come off and he beats a top guy instead then I'd have him in there.

[AdamGB]

They're a good magazine, I'm subscribed to them.

They sometimes let their hearts rule their heads though, They'll have him up that high because of potential, not achievement at the weight.

[Spicoli]

Im betting Monte Barret never imagined he carried so much cloutThey seem to take his Cruiser accomplishments into full consideration.

[bzkfn]

A unified champ moving up would be considered top ten in every other division. Take into account that the Heavyweight division is so woeful and I think he deserves that ranking. I think people look at the rating of a Heavyweight fighter as if it was 20 years ago.

I think it's a crime that he's rated over Peter, who's been fighting at HW from the beginning. But it's hard to argue for anyone else who's below Haye. It just emphasizes the sorry state of the HW division.

I see two things wrong. Despite Haye being an awesome crusierweight doesn't give him cause to be ranked 4th imho.
Also Chagaev? He hasn't done crap for ages. Valuev should be higher technically.

Wlad
Vitali

^^^ This is right though

It probably has more to do with his upcoming fight than what he's done. There's so much wrong with this list aside from that, though. Sultan Ibragimov hasn't fought in almost a year since he lost but he's higher than an undefeated Povetkin who is on deck for a championship bout. Gomez is at the bottom, but he hasn't lost in 4 years but he's below Peter who just got dominated. The rest of the list after Chagaev is garbage.
