I'm a fan of Dylan whyte, not for his limited boxing technique, but for the fact that he will fight anyone if given the chance and always has entertaining fights....
Now he will never be a big contender (I think) unless he seriously dedicates himself and gets his stamina up and weight down...
But let's be honest he's got a chin of granite.
He took joshuas best shots while also hitting back when nearly everyone has gone down with less... I believe it was more a stamina and dehydration issue that whyte got kod by Joshua and not 100% from the punch (although a great punch)
His chin against chisora was brilliant, which I think was chisoras last fight and he wanted to go out with a bang... that was a great fight,
Anyway out of 10,how would you rate his chin? Or have we still not seen enough?
I'd say it's more his heart than his chin tbh.
He's got the heart of a fvcking warrior and even when it seems like he's hurt or on the verge of being knocked out he rallies back. Put up a great effort against Joshua and is the kind of fighter who will always give whoever he's in the ring with a tough nights work, unless you KO him clean like Joshua did until then he's not gonna back off an inch.
Incredible fighting spirit, he's a warrior. Never see it mentioned when people talk about Dillian but IMO it's one of his best attributes.
Yesss, that's exactly it....
He's not got the best boxing ability but he is an entertaining fighter, and one you know is gonna take a punch and come forward to score his own

Wlads 41 and been terribly inactive and not really regarded for having a great chin. I also feel AJ has improvAed significantly since then he is getting better with each fight.
I would need to see Whyte in there absorbing shots.
Its what really kind of throws me off he took AJs shots pretty well I wouldn't of actually of thought Chisora's would of had such an effect on him but boxings a weird sport at times and there are different types of power.
Ya I don't mean now like a tko but a clean KO.. which I still think will be a great feat seen as no1 has done that in god knows how long.....
Well I think chisora really trained hard, the old chisora showed up for one last time....
This was kinda a stupid thread to be fair, was just bored and wanted to know what others taught of his chin hahaha
Ya maybe I was being a bit over generous by saying it was granite haha but certainly better than some of the heavyweights in the top 10 today, if we see AJ, Ko Klitschko, then would you rate whytes chin a bit better?

Chisora can't punch and had him on the verge of going with every shot he landed.
I knew Chisora would be a hell of a lot more competitive than most felt going in but it honestly shocked me his punches had that much effect on Whyte.
I've not seen enough but enough to say I wouldn't class it as granite.
Maybe a 6 or 7/10 but I'd need to see more.

7.5/10.....
He was constantly being stunned by Anthony Joshua, and he was also stunned by Derek Chisora. But he has a ignorance towards pain, that enables him to fight even while he is hurt! reminds me of Nigel Benn slightly in them regards.
