David Haye, the undefeated WBC/WBA/WBO cruiserweight champion, has communicated to the WBC his plans for his future in boxing in a letter written to the WBC President Jose Sulaiman. Haye has relinquished his WBC cruiserweight championship and is requesting the WBC to rate him in the heavyweight division, hoping that his second dream, to win the WBC green and gold heavyweight championship, becomes true in the near future. The WBC's vacant cruiserweight title will be contested between Rudolf Kraj and Giacobbe Fragomeni.

I guess this is the 1st of three since he is moving up to heavy

.......but why? Haye knocked him out. Why do these guys maintain such high rankings even after losing? I don't get it.

Losing to the best in the division by itself shouldn't drop you too much. Looking at these two guys fighting for a world title shows how weak the CW division is as a whole though, especially now with Haye leaving.

I guess I don't even know the other guy Fragomeni is decent but is old as ****.

I'd rather see Herbie Hide in there who is also old but he is hilarious and deserves a title so he can get wider attention for being the most mentally unstable person in boxing.

Would the WBC rate him the #1 in their ratings?

Golota vs Haye in an eliminator bout for the mandatory against Peter vs Vitali winner?

I thought Hide was in line for a shot anyway? That would be great!

Is he?

Be sick if it is true. to be fair they are spoon feeding him bums in Germany so I'm sure they'll give him something.
