What noteworthy boxer had the biggest change in their style (ie was one type of fighter but then consistently changed to a different type)? For the sake of discussion lets say the change had to have come after they were already established as a viable contender, as I am sure there have been some who changed a lot after a couple of fights in.

I was going to say Floyd, but D3vil beat me.
Nonito Donaire is a good example. As he got older, he completely changed his style to rely more on timing, and counter punching so he could continue, since he no longer had the speed that he had, but still had the power.The D3vil likes this.

Camacho -- from greatness to grabber. His in and out was a beauty to watch.
But his power didn't move up from with him from (Jr.) LW to WW, and his legs got ******* old.

Hearns being hurt early in Leonard I, with Stewart telling Hearns, "You be the boxer now."
Hearns stopped trying to ****, and began out boxing Leonard until he didn't.
That night despite the loss, I think Hearns showed he was capable of more than just blowing people out.Slugfester likes this.
