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

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.

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.

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

No

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?

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

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,

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 .

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.

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

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.

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.
