I never said the dog that attacked was a boxer, just that boxers are indeed mastiff-types.
I have a fondness for the breed, myself.
Didn't it disturb you that on a dog mauling article, the first picture on post number one was a Boxer? The picture of the actual dog that killed the girl looks like a Pit-bull Terrier, illegal in the UK. Judging by its relative smallness against the chain link fence fabric, it is much smaller than a mastiff.
