I don't think I specifically said nobody couldn't learn something from studying boxing. It's a beautiful simple thing. But the mechanics aren't a huge bridge from what you can get in kung fu.
You can score ko's with training only ko. You just have to fight. :-)
Kung Fu is good for you.

You guys keep making this about kung fu VS boxing and it isn't about that at all.
It's about stuff like this:

No one can solve the ass hattery that is the wing chun forum man. Don't even try, you'll be in a rubber taxi in the short term if you do!
Seriously, loose screws all over the place in there, get out while you can SR, just run!

I often say this but training methods are where the difference lies, nothing more. Boxers have a regiment which is pretty universal, lots of roadwork and physical conditioning, hitting heavy bags, hitting mitts, sparring with heavy equipment with litttle to no resistance, ect. It's easy to say Kung Fu does not do that, and many probably don't.
But considering how many styles and systems of Kung Fu there are, there are systems that get it right. You could even say individual schools rather than styles, because I have seen one school from the same system that is good and another that is total sh**it! I understand in many ways why a vast majority don't believe in the training methods of Kung Fu as opposed to say boxing or Muay Thai because it is obvious what good training or what the standard training for those styles can do for someone.
So in the end I defend my style of Kung Fu and how I teach it, and considering I have boxed at the amateur level and trained in Muay Thai, I won't deceive and say there are not elements of those styles I implented in my Kung Fu style and teaching method. But there are still many methods and the core of my style that I teach how I was taught, and they do work.
I could careless about defending ALL styles of Kung Fu, I know there is some sh**it out there, but I defend mine and what I practice and teach. I guess I'm one of "those" guys who has "teh realz" Kung Fu.

The wing chun punching mechanics that I was taught are very similar to Dempsey's!

That's going to hurt in the morning: Brutal knockout blow turns boxer's face to jelly
By Daily Mail Reporter

This brutal knockout blow turned a boxer's face to mush - making him look more like jelly than a prized jouster.
Tony Pietrantonio came crashing to the canvas in the 31st second of the third round following the devastating right-hander from fellow U.S. light heavyweight Lavarn Harvell.
Harvell, 23 - dubbed Baby Bowe because of his resemblance to former heavyweight champ Rid**** Bowe - said: 'I felt that punch all the way up my shoulder and back, so I knew he wasn’t getting up.

'I was so excited that I did a little dance for the fans, but that was before I saw how badly he was hurt.'
Pietrantonio, who only agreed to Saturday's fight three days previously, was unconscious as he hit the Atlantic City, New Jersey floor.
Referee David Fields stopped the bout and ushered in doctors, but the bruised boxer soon sat up, climbed onto a stool and left the ring under his own steam.
Harvell added to pressofatlanticcity.com: 'I’ve fought at the Hall before, but it was in the ballroom upstairs. It was a pretty special feeling to fight in the main room in front of all those people.'

Interesting, boxrec shows a discrepancy: 61(50)-6-9.
You forgot to mention Dieselnoi was 6'2 fighting at 125lbs and was strong as an ox. Muay Thai's original version of Jon Jones.
Met Samart Payakaroon this weekend. I'd be surprised if he was 5'8".
-Jack Dempsey ch1 pg1 Championship FightingWhat would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.
