Having trained in baji under a good master, i can say having looked hard at hung gar(from a knowledge point of view) that i agree boxing/western pugilism is easier to fit/understand than baji quan.
Oh that didnt come out so well, what i mean is that alot of the basic elements of hung gar fit very easily into the concepts of western boxing etc.
Especially the windmill techniques(piqua related) they conform easily to boxing concepts and yet defeat boxing if used intelligently.
Baji as was stated earlier is a different beast and doesnt easily conform to other styles.
In the li shu wen lineage the elbow techniques though are beautiful in thier brutality and functionality(which is why i love the style).
So if you want a style thats easier to use and understand with little change from a european mindset then hung gar is great, if you want a style with excellent power and unique fighting style then baji is the one.
There is no technique that speed cannot defeat......
