I don't knwo much about chinese boxing. If you were to take say shotokan karate and shudokan karate. it shouldn't conflict too much. But say you were to take karate and aikido the pirincables of each would contradict each other.

I know someone who does karate and kung fu, and he feels they complement eachother well,

It's usually a better idea to study an art that completes the waekenesses of another, or focuses on other aspect...some example would be

 

Boxing-Judo

 

muay thai-BJJ

 

karate-jiu jitsu

 

just to make a few examples.

A lot in a choice like that depends on how far along you are in the first art. My 'opinion' is that one should have a good grounding in the basics in the first art before starting a second. And too a lot depends on the individual person. Like the way some can take college level Sociology and Psychology at the same time and some can't.

I do TKD and Judo. I think they work well together. Maybe it's because I'm just a white belt in Judo, but I have experience in the Korean "stand up" arts, and I think Judo complements TKD. I'm enjoying both, and I'm not getting confused, because they are totally different arts.
