san shou is not for fighting against guns or knives, its basically kick boxing with throws, and clinching, the current amatuer world le tai (san shou on a platform) champ is Patrick Brady (ultimate div.) hes also the 4 time us champ, he trains in my area.

If you dont LIKE Conditioning try Capoeira .
You WILL get into shape , but you wont feel like its as much WORK as just jogging down the street or whatever . They get you in shape in a more fun way , and they usually have LOTS of pretty women to look at ... its hard and will get you in INSANE condition , its just so much fun that you wont notice !
San Shou is like Muay Thai + (Folk) Wrestling . Its not really a Martial Art as much as it is a Ruleset . its the Ruleset used to judge Chinese Martial Arts typically , and its felt that it most Represents a Streetfight .

If you do San Shou Rules you shouldnt need any more Boxing training . Just work more on your San Shou .
Unless you just plan to compete as a Boxer , that is . The only differences are that you will set up things differently when you AND your opponent CANT use your legs at all , and its actualy kind of a Detriment on the Street (still WAY better than nothing though) . Its fluid and Flows together from Kicking to Punching to Kneeing to Elbowing to Standing Grappling to Throwing to a FEW "Go-To" Ground subs that you can slap on in less than 30 seconds (Ideally less than FIVE sec) . Boxing dosent really add anything , even from a Conditioning standpoint . Like I said , if you want REAL Conditioning , do Capoeira .
