What`s wrong with Whyte`s chin? He was only stopped by a power punching AJ, Haye was stopped by a cruiser.
Haye. Explosive. Athletic. Quick. Better boxer. Better movement. Better at glassing Chisora. Awful toe. LOL Seriously though, I know he gets his **** for the Klitschko fight but the guy was a very good fighter man, not many men have won both cruiserweight and HW titles, yes like most big men he could be hurt but imo he was more elusive , awkward and explosive than Whyte. Yes Wlad comfortably beat him but he couldn't really hurt him.. if Haye chose to box rather than trade he'd beat Whyte, maybe even stop him..
He wasn't hurt by Thompson. He was young and green and gassed after throwing everything into the first few rounds.

if he was buzzed then how die he get up so quickly and how did he finish the round strong he wasnt buzzed why would he lie about a trivial thing.. he admits parker buzzed him
Dangerous fight for both but I'd lean towards Whyte. Haye avoided fighters like Whyte in his prime, and there's no reason to suspect he'd see this as a cakewalk. Whyte on the other hand would have no qualms about facing Haye, and while that alone wouldn't guarantee him a win, it's the sort of attitude that could tip the balance in a close, hard fought battle. To be honest the weapons Haye brings to the ring wouldn't be anything Whyte hasn't experienced in men like Parker and Rivas. Haye gets a lot of credit for his careful matchmaking that often made him look a million bucks, while Whyte often looks like crap because he constantly challenges himself against dangerous opponents, but this is the type of surface level stuff that any boxing fan who's moved past casual territory should know not to put too much stock into. My own personal breakdown sees this as quite similar to the Rivas fight, with Whyte controlling large portions of the fight with his jab, while Haye occasionally sneaks through with an explosive ambush attack that might hurt or put Whyte on his ass but probably whiffs wide or hits gloves most of the time. The difference is that I see Whyte hurting Haye badly at some point, after which I see a TKO shortly afterwards. Alternatively Haye might catch Whyte with a big explosive flurry early in the fight which Whyte can't recover from. Either scenario is possible, though I feel Whyte is more likely to survive an attack from Haye than vice versa. Anyone expecting Haye to outbox Whyte doesn't really understand Haye's style.
Don't know why you keep insisting on this narrative. You can clearly see Whyte's head snap back from Rivas's uppercut, after which he drops in the manner of a man who's been legitimately knocked down. He then gets heavily to his feet and starts to walk to the opposite corner like a man who's hurt and trying to clear his head. He then spends the next minute fending Rivas off and tying him up. Nothing in that knockdown looked like a slip or a flash KO. You're happy to accept that Whyte got hurt by Parker but not by Rivas. Why? He won both fights, didn't he?
The anti Dillian Whyte brigade on this forum are delirious. To suggest that he is chinny is a falsehood. He ate a ridiculous amount of clean punches against Anthony Joshua whom most regard as, at the very least, a hard puncher. To question whether his punch resistance has suffered as a result of that contest is a fair argument, but to suggest that he has a weak chin is driven by clear bias. Yes, he has gone down several times, but he has got back up. There's no harm in going down if you're going to get back up. The alternative of taking more punishment and being waived off is hardly a good one. Besides, the Joseph Parker knockdown, although a clear knockdown, stemmed mostly from exhaustion. Dillian Whyte has a very good chin, I'd argue, which is some ways away from being "glass-jawed".
yeah im happy to accept he was hurt by parker not rivas his head snapped back because he got punched there.. happens dozens of times in every boxing fight he didnt get up heavily... he got up in good time because he knew it had been counted as a knockdown so just went with it but nothing on his face his actions his body language or ANYTHING showed he was hurt he got back into the fight tidily obviously rivas jumped him because he thought he hurt him believe what you want i also dont believe povetkin rocked AJ .. AJ lost balance So im not biased for whyte
So he gets caught by a big uppercut, drops immediately afterwards, has to pull himself to his feet, then doesn't laugh or make any signs to the ref that he slipped, as he surely would have done if he had, you know, actually slipped. Then afterwards in the post fight makes up some story about crossing his feet when he was clearly standing with his feet apart. Honestly, you're generally pretty on the money about Whyte, but you're dead wrong here, and you need to admit it.
