    Johann Duhaupas defeated Robert Helenius and Éric Molina defeated Tomasz Adamek the general consensus was that these two former opponents of Wilder may not have been lacking as they were originally seen as doing.

    Could the same be said of Dillian Whyte after AJ's defeat of Martin?

    If anything, wouldn't his make Whyte all the more impressive. A "one armed" (injure) and poorly conditioned Whyte gave AJ heart palpitations. Yet despite this he used his chin to remain until Round 7 to which he was caught from by an uppercut he couldn't see.

    As Peter Fury said, Whyte needed to work on his shape and it was a shame he didn't; would of been a different fight entirely, but as you said there were defensive elements wish he needs to work on, as well a leg and foot speed ~

    What do you think?

    I've always maintained Dillian Whyte has real potential to be a top heavyweight. He's needs to work on his stamina and I've seen interviews that have acknowledge this so I'm still up on him.

    whyte is lacking some fundamentals

    jab /stamina /technique /combos

    but stamina is easy with hard work / jab is teachable.

    he has on the plus side a good chin /power/size/fighters heart/will to win/memtality.

    sometimes as in carl frochs case its not always about looking the part its about what other fundamentals you bring to the table.

    whyte can come again and be competitive v top 20 fighters.

    for most of the last 34 years i have to get up at 4.30am in all weathers
    work outdoors all day in rough crime ridden areas/ and if it ****es down all day / sometimes even lose money for a days wages.

    i would have gladly given it up for a bit of cardio in a nice warm gym 2 to 3 hours a day with a million pound jackpot as my goal.

    Potentially, think he still needs to beat a top 40 hw first though. If he does that, he immediately goes in the top 20.
