No.
its a contradiction.
Breathing is more valuable then running, thats why you run.
the best exercise you can do as a boxer for breathing, is nice calm jogs.
your lungs hold alot of air and unless your taking the deepest breath possible and exhaling everything with each breath only about 25% of that air is exchanged. what happens tot he other 75%???//? well that stays in your lungs so your lungs have a constant source of oxygen.
so the key to proper breathing, is making sure this 75% of the air in your lungs isnt getting stale, if your not breathing properly you mgiht end up taking quik breaths, this results in you exchanging the air you just breathed in while CO2 builds up in the resivior holding 75% of your lungs capacity. eventually your lungs need fresh air and your forced to exhale everything and then take a deep breath.
now lets say your in the middle of the ring, whats just happened is your lungs ran out of oxygen, you then needed to stop for a second expell everything in your lungs fruther restricing your lungs of oxygen, and then you need to take a deep breath.
in the ring in the middle of a fight isnt the best time to do this, and if your stressed out this is going to happen over and over and over and over and over again.
so we get to running, boxers didnt do only sprints for training back in the day, they did sprints but they allways recognized the importance of the long run.
when sprinting your running as hard as you can for short bursts there is not time for you to think about breathing, your just gasping for air as you bullet down the track. same with swimming, half the times your heads under the water, not providing the best oppertunity to practice breathing.
finally back to steady jogging, a steady pace slightly stressing your body, the steady beat as you clop your feet down, no urgency, no coordination needed, you can almost close your eyes and just run forever listening to the beat with each step.
this is the perfect setting to learn how to properly cycle the air in your lungs even when under stress, and this is why boxers run 3-6 mile distances regularly.
sure breathing is more important then running, but running is hands down the best breathing exercise for a boxer.
stomach vaccumes are good for lower back and inner core strength, but running is a better breathing exercise.
