    How good is Dillian Whyte?

    Is he the next Chisora....you know, a tough guy that talks a lot and will have some success but always fails when he steps up in class or can he become one of the very best in the divison and winning titles?

    Chisora at his peak was better

      Definitely not true.

      Dillian Whyte is levels above what Chisora ever was. Plus, he's a genuine bad ass guy.

        Chisora had tough fights vs fury, klitchko, helenius.. When whyte stepped up vs a green Joshua, he was competitive but ultimately got iced... Chisora wasn't iced until years later vs haye...

        I don't know how you can say whyte is so much better, when one guy has gone the distance in competitive fights vs some of the worlds best heavies and the other got knocked out the first time he stepped up vs a still green Joshua...

          Whyte hasn't really accomplished much and his claim to fame is beating Anthony Joshua as an amateur. There's nothing to justify saying he's a great, or even good boxer. We'd have to see him against some more known professionals to get a better gauge.

            Completely different type matchups. Joshua is much more aggressive and explosive than any of the guys Chisora fought. The best example would be Haye, and Whyte was more competitive than Chisora was with Haye.

            Years later? He fought Helenius, Fury in 2011 and Vitali & Haye in 2012. Hardly "years later".

            Because one is better and has more aspects to his game, more power, punch variety etc. Judging someone on a performance vs Anthony Joshua is not really a good platform to judge on in my opinion.

            When Whyte has been on the scene a little more we can judge it more.

              Ok,, I kinda agree,,,, whyte the jury is still out,,, so I find it nearly impossible to claim that he is better than Chisora

                He's basically like the next Dereck Chisora. A journeyman punching bag for top prospects.
                I would have loved to see Dereck Chisora face him as a kind of passing the torch type fight from one Chisora to another.

                  Hard to tell when his best performance was a knockout loss.

                    Dillian Whyte is almost a HW Rosado, but not quite on that level, skill-wise.
