There is terrible fighting everywhere. Short-end of it is, it all depends on how you train (a point you eluded to in your post). Wong Shung Leung was good for implementing this idea of fighting like your life depended on it. Treating a fight like actual warfare (Before he trained at Wing Chun he mopped the floor with several of Yip Man's students with only his boxing skills. Until he took on Yip Man himself).
I agree with you on the whole good fighters-who-will-teach are hard to find. But that isn't always necessarily what will determine the outcome. It doesnt matter what style or instructor a person trains under if they take their training lightly. The students should train like their life depended on it whether the instructor encourages it or not. The arabs have a saying, "An army of lambs led by a lion is more dangerous than an army of lions led by a lamb". If someone trains for "shits & giggles" they may have a hard time against someone who trains for a real situation.
Ok now I think I've deviated too far from the original topic "Mixing Wing Chun with Boxing" . Awwww too hell with it all!
