Boxing is as much about movement than puches. So why dont boxers try ballet?

Are they afraid they may look girlish?

Anything to gain an advantage over their opponants, surely?

Already been done. Evander Holyfield took some ballet during the 1990's to improve his balance. This is well documented and is even on one of his preshow interviews.
