Dillian Whyte - Future?

He is a very interesting character and if he fights bigger names and gets his name out there he could be a very popular fighter. He seems eager to learn and willing to spar anybody as you can see and I believe he is currently sparring Vitali Klitschko too. The one thing he seems to lack is a proper gameplan he doesn't throw combinations or pepper them with a jab, he just tries to gun sling them out of there and if he can't he wins on points because the opposition isn't throwing much back. If he gets a game plan uses his jab and puts his shots together he could do well.

 

Will be fighting John Mcdermott by Xmas aswell.

Currently in the Klitschko camp

Sparred Fury a lot recently, also Haye Chisora and Price

Very promising career ahead.

 

British at best, sorry just aint buying into the hype...if he wasnt an heavyweight no one would be talking about him. (hope im proved wrong)...also he doesnt look that 'big' for an heavyweight...small, bulky, heavyweights just cant cope with the taller, long jab heavyweights like price, fury, klitskho's, etc.The game is changing

 

I think someone like that could really frustrate him, the answer is none of us know, he has hardly any boxing pedigree and we don't know how he will adapt to the differing styles and road blocks he may face including questions about how far he's willing to go to succeed.

 

I actually think he puts his shots together pretty well in combination.

 

Seems like a good guy, he is progressing well & showing clear signs of improvement. Its still early days but he has a good team around him & works hard, I dont think he has world-beater potential but it will be an entertaining journey.

I'm not sure he's fast enough to handle a big, tall HW with an educated jab but if Dillian's chin holds up, then he should win a British title at the very least.

 

He's not a busy fighter though

 

I asked him about it on twitter and he played it down saying Joshua was younger then and not as good as he is now, but i didn't know it was dillians first amateur bout

 

Talented kid. Can certainly win some titles with the right guidance. Unfortunately Frank Maloney is the type of guy to take you no steps forward and probably two or three back for the most part.

 

If this were the Williams /skeleton /sprott /Harrison days I might be able to get excited about him but it's not, so I find it hard to.

He might reach Sam setting level though

 

****ing auto correct.

I meant Sam sexton

ie Commonwealth, in some fun fights but just below world contender

 

He has three fights before the end of the year including John McDermott for the English title in December.
I think he will win all these fights and in 2013 we will be talking alot more about him.
