fighters who changed their style over the years?

[jabSTRAIGHTh00k]

Im wondering which boxers have been successful by changing their style.?

lets start. how many styles there are?

all i know for now, are that there are: offensive or defensive fighters, their are aggressors or counter punchers, boxer or puncher, inside or outside fighters, textbook style or unorthodox, volume style or precision, head hunter or body puncher, knockout artist or points accumalator?

i understand some fighter need to adjust their style to certain opponents, but lets say for the most part, they stood by a certain style for the long run until eventualy changin it up

i know the most popular answers are:

mayweather : early career, he was knocking guys out, throwing more punches, but later after moving up in weight, he became more counterpuncher boxer type.

pacquio, : early he was very raw, throwing bombs after bombs, middle stage, he threw bombs in combos like grendae uzis, offense is defense type, but later, settled on boxer puncher, more tactful.

any other boxers who evolve their game?

wladimir klitschko

Hopkins..he was a lot more aggressive when he was younger

Juan Manuel Marquez springs to mind.

Calzaghe, he wasn't always a slapper. He was a good puncher earlier in his career and then had a lot of hand issues and relied more on a work rate most couldn't keep up with to win fights after that.

I've seen a slight change in Canelo's style since i first started watching him, but maybe not enough to make it apply to the thread. Since the Floyd fight, i felt Canelo has fancied himself as a bit more of a slick boxer than before, although he did have the ability anyway. Not sure i'd call it a change of style, maybe just improvements.

Robert Guerrero. He went from Master Boxer to ****ing brawler. ****ing waste.

Never understood that. You would think going up in weight he would have used more of his boxing skills against bigger fighters.

Shaved years of his career.

Abner Mares started with a more polished style early on in his career when he was with Nacho. He regressed a bit after he became more aggressive.

In contrast the Edwin Valero that was fighting in Japan vs the one who fought Demarco was like night and day. Probably due to the fact that he would get bonus if he got a 1st rd knockout

Adjust into a brawler? i'm not sure. It's very rare for someone to change from a boxer into a full on brawler.

I don't see how going up a few divisions at the lower weights forced someone to completely abandon their boxing skills and start going to war.

I always felt his dad's influence was part of it. His dad was always hell bent on people fighting toe to toe.
