Most boxers who are "afraid of losing a lot of muscle" seem to me to have missed the point entirely. This is not bodybuilding, and losing weight is, more often than not,a good thing.

Exactly. Punchdrunk knows his stuff. If you're afraid of losing your extra muscle, you're probably in the wrong weightclass. If you have to struggle to keep on lean muscle, you're in the wrong weightclass. Train hard, eat right, and you will settle into the right weightclass for your natural frame size.
