Select all the guys he beats.

Honestly I couldn't see him beating any of the above, if he hadn't beaten aj in the amateurs nobody would have heard of him, he looks to have no real boxing skills and is a pretty basic fighter, but it being the heavyweight division he could well talk his way into some more big money fights

I went for Charles Martin, he's the only one I'd be confident about him beating. Probably Chisora too. Anyone else I'd be doubtful.

I had Whyte beating everyone but Hughie Fury and Parker.

Hughie is a good boxer, I'd give him a chance. Most of the others, I see Whyte winning quite easily.

Scott, Martin, Molina and Thompson

He'd have a shot at all but Parker & pulev

There should be a 'none of the above' option. He looked awful

The majority of that list is awful, he fits right in.

I'd pick them all to beat him.

I think he would beat Glazkov, Molina, Martin, Chisora, current version of Thompson (though prime Thompson would beat him easily), and probably Malik Scott. I'm pretty sure he would lose to Pulev, Parker and Hughie Fury. I would also favor Stiverne over Whyte.

I'd give him a fair chance against Scott, Glazkhov, Martin, Chisora and Thompson. I'd put them all in the same category. Not sure about Hughie Fury as apparently we've not seen him at his best yet but even at that I'd fancy Fury to outbox him. Neither have looked anything special so far but Fury looks to have more potential.

People really think Malik Scott, Molina, Martin, and Tony Thompson at this point could beat him? That's surprising. Whyte looks pretty good.

In which fights has he looked good? I think he's generally looked mediocre (as was very much the case in laboring to a decision last night) and believe he's been quite overrated due to the good round he had against AJ. He hasn't beaten anyone in the top 70 and to me it seems over the top to act like him beating those guys is virtually a sure thing.

He fought a poor opponent last night and looked like dross. It would be nice to see him finslly beat someone in the top 75.

Exactly. Mediocre sounds accurate, looks like a durable guy but that seems to be the defining characteristic. Good is a relative term I guess in this heavyweight era. As far as the list goes, Martin. But two ton Tony Galento probably could have beaten Martin so..

Ya, a respectable chin and solid but not great power. Aside from that he's very limited.

Of course he can still have success with those attributes, but I think a lot of guys can beat him.

Fair enough, I was judging from the Joshua fight. But he still should be able to beat some of those guys. The list isn't too impressive to say the least and Thompson is way way passed his best.

I think any of them could beat him, he has a decent chance against some like Charles Martin, but any is vastly better than anyone he's beaten. Sounds like he wasn't impressive against Allen, who's worse than any of these guys.

You'd guess he'd fight Sexton for the British next.

He has a lot of potential but still pretty raw. People are getting carried away mentioning world level operators. He needs to concentrate domestically first. Saturday was a good start.

Only Charles Martin, which isn't saying much as my next door neighbour's cat could beat Martin!

Chisora would be 50/50 as it would depend on which one of these two could be bothered to train properly.

The others, I don't think he beats them.

Dillian Whyte is a farily decent fighter. He'll likely progress to European level and perhaps be granted a shot at Joshua’s title, as a stay busy fight for the champ, but unfortunately 'The Body Snatchers' talent is fairly limited and at least half of the guys listed in this poll would be able to defeat him.

Briggs

Good chin, good power, but he's quite slow imo, against a runner he simply won't succeed. He's the type of guy that struggles with in shape cruiserweights, but at the same time might give Tyson Fury problems.

Tyson Fury the champion? Lol well let's give Whyte a title shot lol.

Like I said before, he's not that good and his last 2 fights have shown that. He will lose again soon to someone coming up.

Anyone that struggles with movers will take a beating from Tyson Fury. I doubt he'd do much better than Hammer.

It's a really tough question as the only decent operator Whyte has come up against was Joshua, and that was just a strange encounter. Seemed more like a bar brawl than a boxing match.

That said, I do see attributes which would see him do well against most those guys in that list. And let's remind ourselves here, that list aint a list of world beaters. He has a decent chin, and can punch. He's shown an improvement in his engine, and against Allen was getting behind his jab a bit more which is generally pretty weak.

I think Parker probably has too much for him, in all areas, but it could potentially go the distance. Pulev definitely has a tight points decision all over it. I think Whyte is a lot more motivated than Chisora currently which gives him the edge. I think Stiverne is 50:50, another tight points score, but again because he doesn't look in great shape and nearer to the end of his career.
