    As soon as he stepped up the opposition just a little bit. with Allen, Lewison,Chisora. There's gonna be a lot of his fights going to points. You can see he really lacks power. Bit worrying for Joshuas chin that he's been dropped in the amateurs by him and really wobbled and hurt in the pros.

    This was really obvious in the Chisora fight.

    Chisora who is not a big puncher himself, was clearly the heavier handed guy in there.

    Chisora also won that fight, and although Whyte got the decision, if he can't out man and beat a shopworn Chisora he will not even make European level.

    The most telling thing in the Chisora fight to me, was how weak and appalling Whyte's jab became as he was being worn down. Textbook arm punching, zero power behind it. I know he had been in the trenches in that war, so fatigue is understandable, but his technique really deserted him and with that, his power dissipated noticeably.

    I couldnt really care to be honest. Anything he achieves in the sport is just a bonus. But I like him, good character who is in fun, scrappy fights. Entertains me so thats all that matters.

    I think his power is probably alright, Allen and Chisora have shown to have decent beards to be fair. Although that would make the question of AJ's chin more interesting if it comes out that he really does lack proper powahhh. But his technical ability has been shown exactly for what it is.

    throws a great left to the body, when he boxes, apart from that never really been impressed, I mean how long would Chisora, Allen, Lewison last with the top guys??

    Ian Lewison articulated his points about this thug very well.

    Overrated glorified journeyman who believes his own hype is Dillian Whyte.

    I don't find him likeable outside of the ring. I can't stand the whole wannabe gangster act. It's a Baby Ting :p

    I know mate . But his nickname is 'the body snatcher', his Ko record is 15 Kos from 20 wins, and when he was coming up as a prospect people were saying he was a big puncher which is all misleading. It's clear as daylight now that 90% of his future wins from now on will be on points, for a heavyweight he really lacks power.

    Tyson F, Klit and Whyte all three threw the kitchen sink at chisora and barely put a dent in him. Chisora was pushing klit back the whole fight. His power didn't affect him at all.

    Haye absolutely destroyed him just goes to show how hard he hits or did hit. First hard exchange and chisora was finished.

    As for Dylan I think he's changed his style somewhat. Tried to use more volume and conserve some energy

    A baby ting?

    You got that from watching the post press conference video between Whyte's brother and Chisora.

    Just shows what a pathetic character I am dealing with here. Don't try and play some wooden ghetto character.

    You wouldn't last five minutes in Lewisham country boy.

    Yes thats why I said jokingly you thick ****. I'm right in the inner city kid. I doubt you've even been to lewisham. More likely you are from Dewsbury, Batley, Nelson,Brierfield some little tiny inbred burkha village like that.
