You can build the strength as much as you like, but it won't stop you being sluggish. Tyson didn't get his explosive bobbing and weaving style by squatting hundreds of kilos, he got it by doing a heck of a lot of shadowboxing and by repeating the moves over and over, where he'd duck, bobb, weave and strike a counter. When doing these drills, try and concentrate on the speed of your novements, rather than the force you're exerting with your muscles.

I've been boxing training since around christmas, but, like you, have been weight training for a while longer. There are only so many hours a week you can train so you need to prioritise your excercises in your routine. If your goal is to get faster with your movements I'd recommend changing the emphasis of your training towards shadowboxing, sparring etc.
However you don't need to neglect your weights completely, as strength can be an asset in boxing also.
