Most radical style changes in boxing history?

My two favourite fighters have significantly changed their style in Kovalev and Wilder 2.
What are historic examples like that?

Hector Camacho. He turned from an exciting fighter into a slap-and-run boremeister after Edwin Rosario almost knocked him out.

Ray Leonard in the Duran rematch would be the obvious example.
Mayweather when he fought Zab Judah, the first time he'd been in there with a faster man.
George Foreman came back and changed his style totally.
The best fighters are the one's who can make adjustments.

Not really, though I see what you mean. But Camacho became a genuine Roadrunner after the Rosario fight.

Do you consider Ali's tactics vs Foreman a change of style as well?

I'd say that's more down to Ali's legs being very passed their glory days.

Mayweather from "Pretty Boy" to "Money" because of his brittle hands and not having power to carry up to 154.
Foreman in the 1970s vs. the 1990s.

Klitschko changing to a go who just pecks away with a jab and holds when a fighter gets too close

Ali rode the aging process like a skilled surfer rides a wave. He was the Beatles of Boxing, ever ready to reinvent.
