If you have any tips or pointers about boxing you might want to share with others, please do.
I'll start:
I am a righty, so my stance is left hand in the front, right hand in the back (durf). so im gonna give this tip to righties, and if ur a lefty, simply do the same with the other hand (durf again). alright... i find it better that if u wanna right hook or right uppercut, to kinda lean on ur right leg and twist ur body behind you (not too much so u break ur back). this way ur punch because a lot more powerful, and if you feel it is a bit slow, simply take 20 pound weights into your hand, and shadow box for about 30 minutes, u should do this (shadow boxing with 20s) for about a week and you will get significantly faster, so you can try leaning back, twisting, and pnuching. i also noticed that by using this method, if u are in mid punch, and ur oponent tries to hit u, you barely feel it because u have gained so much momentum.
Any tips?

For the love of God, keep your feet moving! I watch guys bang away on the the heavy bag and they're standing there like they're rooted to the floor. The heavy bag moves, just like you're opponent will move! A good fighter has to move with them.
Jumping rope will help with this. Try to do it for two minute intervals. If you can't keep going for one round, you have a lot of work to do.

As matt said keep moving, but its more then that. I havn't actually boxed, so this is mostly a theory that I've heard in tkd and around different fights and such, but keep your leg steady and about shoulders length, keep them apart when moving, don't bring them in together cause thats when your oppenent will attack and you'll get screwed up by either getting hit or by trying to get away, but it will all end up the same with your legs twisting around each other and you whiping out or nearly...I may be wrong though.

hmm well you see im very agressive by nature, so in the ring it comes out completely. i hate just standing around waiting for the oponent to do something, it irritates the hell out of me. in all my fights i was the one who keeps attacking constantly. this may seem like a obsolete plan, but i thought about it very carefully before going into the fights. i purposely trained my speed, strength, and accuracy (almost sounds like an RPG doesnt it?), so that if when im coming at him he decides to throw a punch, the chances of me dodging it is VERY high. i also noticed that the more aggressive u seem in the ring, the more intimidated your opponent gets. like when he sees you charging at him, he's probably thinking "oh s**t im gonna get it", where as if someone charges me (which they have), i think to myself "bring it on" and then uppercut them right in the jaw (which i have). so yes legs are important, but if u know how to almost perfect other factors like speed, accuracy, and strength it compensates for the legs.

there is another factor that affects your performance. your trainer. i got extremely lucky and got an amazing trainer. he was about 4'9 and weighted around 240 pounds. the man could barely put his arms down to his side cause his muscles were too big. but anyway he was extremely tough on me. and i respect him for that. he told me at the beginning that i have enormous potential, but he also said that he's gonna make me cry like a little girl. now personally i am a cocky person sometimes, but i am always confident in anything i do, so i told him we'll see. ANYWAY... he was a good trainer for the following reason: as most of u know (i assume) boxing training session are clocked. u look at a little screen which has 3 lights. green means train for 3 minutes, yellow means there is 1 minute left after those 3 pass, and red means rest for 30 seconds. now u would think that people would actually rest during those 30 seconds, well they did, but my trainer told me to do 50 push ups in those 30 seconds. now ur probably thinking "thats not possible", ur damn ******** right its not possible, and i could never do it either. but thats what made him such a great trainer, he always pushed me beyond my limits (except for the push ups thing, till this day i can only do 30 push ups in 30 seconds).
so basically my tip is try to get a good trainer.

Keeping your feet apart is good advice. If your feet are apart all you have to do to move is pick up a foot and your already automatically moving, but if your feet are together you actually have to step before you move anywhere.
And as for charging in I can see that being effective in a hands only fight but if you add kicks to the equation it can get messy. When I'm fighting people who like to charge in with their hands, I like to hang back then drop them on the way in, if you miss you're in trouble, but even if they block if you kick them hard enough its going to at least stop them if not knock them off their feet

Yes but surely you would fight people of other arts like kick boxers, muay thai people and stuff? Apart from boxing every other striking based martial art has some form of kicking. Boxing has to be the martial art when it comes to using your hands but you cant ignore the impact and usefulness of kicks. If you're into fighting I would seriously consider looking into kickboxing/muay thai 3nodding its like boxing but you use all the bodies weapons, hands, feet, elbows and knees

Aye fair enough, I guess its better to drill one aspect to perfection than do them all badly. Different strokes for different folkes, that is something I like about MA, there's something for nearly everybody from mincing people with your hands to silly aerial kicks to philosophical enlightenment

Is there some sort of footwork training you do?Maybe it's the fact that they refuse to move, it could be possible.
