Unlike many on this forum, I refrain from comment on every little thing with which I have no personal experience or specific knowledge. You would be well served to do the same - 'tis better to be suspected a fool than to erase all doubt.
Again (as I mentioned earlier), we actually boxed a few kids with belts in weird sounding martial arts disciplines. Every one of those poor guys got hammered by the boxer. None of them had the stamina to get through even a couple of rounds.
If you have ever been in the ring, you might understand the stamina required of boxing. In my youth I played soccer all the way through school and raced bicycles to boot. A boxing match took more out of me than a soccer match or bike race. Far more. The latter last 90 minutes and several hours respectively.

So you havent boxed since you were 17....and how old are you now? I actually do know a little bit about fighting btw. I have been training in BJJ for the past 7 years and am approaching high level, which should be painfully obvious by my avatar. I
currently train 4-5 times per week plus weight training. I rolled yesterday and am going again tonight. You last sparred 30 years ago?
