I can see that, a boxers weight towards the toes like a runner, in the direction that you are going, punching. Whereas golf being rotational you need it more centered. But we also need our weight left at impact for most shots. Sort of like taking a jab to your extreme left across your body, with the right shoulder down low close to what you are aiming at (the ball) and then extend right through it. The right shoulder being like a launching pad. Some hitters have more pivot than others, some boxers dance, some drag there back foot around the center of the ring like Norton. Either way they can hurt you or compress the ball.

You know VJ Trolio was an amateur boxer, golden gloves if memory serves me right. Luke packs a punch on the course too. He's lights out long from a pretty steady platform. He'd be a back foot dragger I bet if he was a boxer maybe, although he was a runner in school.
