Would Wilders chin hold up?

  1. Glass shatters in the ring

    85.9%
  2. Chin somehow absorbs the blow

    14.1%

    Until one of 18 kids eventually puts him out of his misery by smothering him with a pillow.

    I think we definitely know Whyte wouldn't take a RH from Wilder now.

    We also know Wilder couldn’t take a left hook from Whyte similar to Chisora or Brown.

    I'm gonna go against the tide in this thread and say no. Wilder's balance is what makes him look like he's on unsteady legs a lot of the time, not his chin. I feel like his chin is a lot better than what it's given credit for.

    Of course he wouldn't . Whyte has a weak chin, possibly the weakest in the top 10.

    Whyte has only been dropped by big punchers. AJ, Rivas, Povetkin. The Parker KD was more due to him being fatigued.

    Chisora hurt him multiple times. Helenius while in sparring mode also buzzed him.

    Still Chisora and Helenius aren't winos from the alley, they can punch.

    Whyte definitely isn't in possession of the most sturdy of whiskers though. His chin is shaky to say to least.

    He'd fall on his own leg and break it like a twig!

    That shot wouldn’t land on wilder on my opinion due to his height and fighting style

    Still has a stronger chin than Wilder I think.

    Wilder has poor defence and leaky guard. It definitely could. I’d have backed Povetkin and most people on this sub would have to knock Wilder out when they should have fought.

    Wilder reacts to the set up jab povetkin threw by moving backwards or sideways he doesn’t lean downwards and forwards like whyte plus wilder has faster reaction time then whyte

    the only way I see that same shot landing is if povetkin held him with one hand but that wouldn’t allow povetkin to put his full power into the punch

    not impossible but highly unlikely that same shot lands on wilder

    I have lol don’t forget how he was rocked by ortis in the 7th in their first fight and given extra time to have his invisible cuts looked at
