    How highly do you rate Dillian Whyte?

    When he signed for Matchroom he was thought of as an unknown quantity, and little more was expected from him than a grudge match with Anthony Joshua. AJ was expected to blast him out whilst looking spectacular, and although he did get the stoppage, he did get rocked by Dillian early on. Since then Dillian has fought and beat a decent level of opposition and positioned himself well in the rankings of several of the alphabet orgs. How he hasn't been installed as the WBC mandatory, only Haymon and Sulamain know! He also only just missed out on the AJ rematch, and is now looking for another high profile fight in the interim.

    Top wins
    Lucas Browne
    Dereck Chisora x2
    Robert Helenius
    Joseph Parker

    Next fight shortlist
    Manuel Charr
    Michael Hunter/Adam Kownacki?
    Agit Kabayel
    Luis Ortiz
    Alexander Povetkin

    He barely got by twice vs. Chisora and vs. Parker. Plus he's a steroid user. He's your typical wanker.

          Somewhere in the top 10... But only the top 3 count so.

            Unfortunately Ortiz is busy fighting nobodies like Kauffman and Hammer.

              He is a solid top 10 HW who has got into the top 5 mostly by default in my humble.

              His run, while decent, has been a little overrated due to people comparing it to the absolutely atrocious runs being put together by most of guys in the current HW division.

              I think he is more deserving than many outside the AJ/Wilder/Fury trinity of getting a title shot, but idgaf if they pass him over really. He is an ok option, but not a must see.

              The idea he is being ducked by any of them is crazy.

                Nah. If you are referring to his ban, you should read up on it before making accusations

                  He's got power and heart, which are two attributes that can take you a long way. He's a little short on skill and stamina, which means he'll need to be selective and hope to have luck on his side. So far, so good.

                    Probably rank him the 4th best heavy based on resume. Gave joshua a good fight too.
