BTW telegraph are reporting David Haye will be the mandatory for the winner of this fight.

How did Haye get to be the WBO mandatory over Klit, who's #2 when Haye is #4?

Ruiz is better than Martin, Whyte, and Breazeale. I'd put him at Takam's level, but a different type of fighter. Ruiz comes at you all nite, and has average boxing skills but great power whereas Takam has excellent boxing skills and average power for a counter puncher.

Haye isn't the mandatory now. If Wlad wins the WBA, then that would remove him from the WBO rankings I would think. Haye would then be the mandatory (unless Fury comes back in that time), as Wlad is out of the rankings.

I'd put Takam ahead of all the other opponents, inc Ruiz. I think Ruiz's power is less than it's made out to be.
