Is it time to discuss Whyte's glass jaw?

[tigermoth87]

He's very chinny, especially with a shot bang on the chin. Even a way past-his-sell-by-date Povetkin knocked him cold.

[punchoutsb]

It’s not a glass jaw in my opinion, but it is cracked. I’d take Wallin to stop him if Whyte jumps into that match next.

[oogiebe]

He ain't THAT chinny. He just isn't a rock jaw. Certainly not a glass jaw.

[punchoutsb]

He ain't THAT chinny. He just isn't a rock jaw. Certainly not a glass jaw.

I’d say it’s more that he’s a sucker for the upper cut.

Exactly right. Great point.

[margaret thatcher]

been ko'd 3 times in his career, all by uppercuts

also dropped by rivas with an uppercut


as much of a sucker for that shot as ive seen among world level fighters

[emallini]

No

[Riddick Bowie]

Is there any point in Whyte continuing? What for? He's made a ton of money out of all these PPV fights, is never going to be champ. Does he need more money just to be a highlight reel KO for an up and coming fighter?

[Steveh583]

No. It’s time to discuss fury beating him at a canter. No other heavy would make that look like child’s play. Masterful.

[MightyWarrior]

No his chin is decent, he’s only been taken out by a couple of eye poppin dynamite shots ( maybe the best 2 punches they’ve ever thrown ? ) and a world class heavyweight hitter,

[Ricky]

He doesn't have a great chin, and that's a problem given his style, he's hardly got an iron clad defence. He'll always b an exciting fighter to watch.

I take it you’ve reviewed your opinion he’s the best heavyweight in the world?

-Toook bombss in the AJ fight.

-The povetkin punch would of had David Tua on Queer street.

-This shot was a peach, bit of a skimmer, which makes it look weak, but skimmers often hurt people more than you think...

Only shot that suggests any chin issues at all the tyson uppercut, but as i said, was a good shot from a 19 stone man, and whyte got up, just was a bit off balance when the ref checked him out...

Might not be the toughest of all time, but i think his problem is more poor defence and good opposition more so than a glass jaw.

[margaret thatcher]

average chin at this level

I like Whyte and he was well worthy of his shot. I'd actually fancy him in a rematch vs AJ or even against Wilder if he, but can't argue that he's not got the tools to beat Fury.

[Boxerbeetle]

Whyte v Wilder would be great fun, both would be completely gassed after 2 rounds if it even went that far.

[Glass Joe]

You would fancy Wilder to windmill Whyte in the first few rounds.

[margaret thatcher]

how about whyte vs luis ortiz, he of courageous come from behind victory over charles martin. bet you they at least trade knockdowns

[cormack]

the uppercut seems to be his weakness .
You would think after being KO`d twice with that shot he would be trying to find ways to defend against it but didnt or couldnt .
whoever he fights going forward will try to exploit the same opening .

[Twinkle Toes]

He's vulnerable for sure, add in that he's looking shop worn - It's a recipe for disaster.

I would have agreed with you, but he's done now Shirley.
His chin is cracked. He's found his level, made a ton of money, thrilled the fans and generally lost the Eye-of-the-tiger.,
I just can't see his heart being in it.

[handsofstone]

All that waiting to put in that feeble effort, pretty pathetic tbh

[DrDuke]

He's not a glassjaw, but he's chinny. He got wobbled and survived on several occasions. Glassjaws get KOed almost every time when they are caught clean.

[Enlightened-One]

A fighter gets stopped by Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Alexander Povetkin, but is suddenly accused of having a glass jaw?

But does this mean that Dillian Whyte defeated feather-fisted versions of the following fighters?

• Alexander Povetkin
• Joseph Parker
• Dereck Chisora (twice)
• Oscar Rivas
• Robert Helenius
• Mariusz Wach
• Lucas Browne

Dillian Whyte is a human being that has flaws, which applies to all of us.

And pugilistically-speaking, his main vulnerability appears to be avoiding, blocking or bracing himself to cope with uppercuts.
