That was always the difference between Muhammad Ali and the rest of us. He came, he saw, and if he didn't entirely conquer -- he came as close as anybody we are likely to see in the lifetime of this doomed generation.

Hey sgsb -
Yeah, boxing is good for this. You will definitely tone up, however the weight loss is the only unsure thing. A lot of the time people's weight will just maintain with boxing, as you are burning fat you are generating muscles (which weigh more) so you end up losing some weight initially, but then you kind of level out. However, if you do your roadwork on top of your boxing you should be able to lose weight. Also, as with any other diet/excercise program, try to keep track of your intake. They say that a one hour long boxing workout burns close to or just over 1,000 calories; add on top of that running/jogging and whatever you do during the day, and a boxer can eat a pretty good amount of food and still maintain or lose weight.
Hope that helps...
Take care,
~p
