no, it's hogwash. I'll take a boxer's ability to both outfight and infight over any other art any day of the week. But in the case of TKD or kickboxing or muaythai'er, if the guy can land a few leg kicks, it's a great weapon of course. I'm a boxer, but I also practise kicks/knees/elbows when working out at home.

It boils down to which guy is better at making the other guy fight HIS fight. But IMO, boxing is all you need in 99/100 street/bar fights. It's the quintessential fighting art: no belts, no bullshit. Just good old fashioned punch-your-opponent-in-the-face really hard, and boxers usually do that better than anyone.
