I don't think he's punch shy.., he got off the deck from Peter several times and turned it around.
And yes take it as an indicator of overall fitness.
No disrespect but the peters fight was 12 years ago, I'm biased in that I have never rated this particular Klitschko, his brother was a very good fighter, but I've just never rated Vladimir. Joshua has still got a lot of improving to do, I really don't like how he drops that left hand jab after he throws it being the most basic of his faults and there are quite a few. Hopefully it's a good fight, I personally feel it will be an anticlimax.And yes take it as an indicator of overall fitness.

In terms of an anti climax I think you could well be right. If WK manages to pull the jab and hold off it could very well be.
As for vitali, well chisora showed that someone with the body punch power of mike Tyson would put him over. Look how reddened he was and he even said if chisora hit harder it would have been a problem.
And some one skill full a couple of inches shorter does this

That image certainly isn't after his fight with vitality, I have no Idea why you would post that or your motive.If WK manages to pull the jab and hold off it could very well be.

Would any of Joshua's previous opponents been able to jump almost to the top rope and have this level of athletisism.
Well, leaving aside the two perspective issues with that photo (height of the camera and the distance to the ropes), Joshua's last but one opponent, Dominic Breazeale, played quarterback at University level, so probably yes!m4tti said:

In fairness to Vitali there, he was encumbered with an injury against Chisora; and the person who inflicted the damage in that photo was skillful at an all-time great level and even then, Vitaliti had been doing very well against him!If WK manages to pull the jab and hold off it could very well be.

I have my doubts if Fury will fight again at top level but if he does the first and last fight I want to see him in is vs AJ. It will end with 2-3 doctors standing over him.
Fury is back training alongside Billy Joe Saunders. Talks of a summer fight.Lots of updates on twitter such as: https://twitter.com/boxnationtv/status/85792806189... Not bad for a fatty!

The reality is though, he has been abusing his body for 18 months now, and we all know it's not just a case of some junk food and late nights here and there. It's that, plus drugs, alcohol, resulting in pretty severe depression. I watches some of his videos where his voice was gone and he looked in a terrible state (mentally). I doubt he can do a 14-15 week camp personally, could be wrong of course, we'll see...

Why has it all gone quite on Fury's failed drugs test?
Thought I'd answered that a few posts back. He's off the hook...bar the formalities of course.

As defences go, that's on a par with Willie Pep's!
t at it so one eye on the undercard... Luke Campbell has got to be careful here buy he's looking good
