This is a very good point. It's exactly the reason why you see guys have a really hard time when they try to move up to a higher weight class quickly through weight training. It's about funtional mass...or the kind that translates to a corresponing increase in strength and power instead of just creating a further oxygen debt.

For my own part I think that boxing is actually closer to weitght training then it is to any traditional cardio activity. It's short bursts of high intensity activity which is distinctly anaerobic. The cardiovascular endurance comes in during recovery.
