Fighters styles that evolved/eroded in their careers the mos
Which fighters in their careers showed the most change in their style/ability? Some fighters made adjustments through out their careers than others. Some improved, some learned. Due to circumstances some fighters style or approach changed in their careers.

Also you have fighters that fought on much longer than they should have therefore, declined much more than they should have. Some fighters are totally different from the time they were in their peak, to the time they were shot & at times it's drastically apparent to how much of a shell of their former self a fighter became.

Evolved
Muhammad Ali's style evolved after his 3 year lay of as his legs were never as light again as hit learned to stick n move instead of dance around the ring.

Kostya Tszyu showed adjustment to his game and became more patient & a better boxer.

Miguel Cotto showed improvement after 140, 147 & after his losses.

Manny Pacquiao added a lil to his game in his rematch with Morales & improved on his way up in weight becoming more polished.


Eroded
Mike Tyson is one of the biggest examples of the massive difference from how he was in peak to how he was when he was shot!

Muhammad Ali although evolved also eroded pretty badly at the end coming from his peak, fighting on too long.

Roy Jones Jr. from how he was in his prime to now is pretty bad.

Oscar De La Hoya from how shot he was against Pacquiao compared to his prime was shockingly sad.
