Throughout the history of gloved boxing styles, techniques and strategies have changed to varying degrees. Ring conditions, promoter demands, teaching techniques, and the influence of successful boxers are some of the reasons styles and strategies have fluctuated.
Boxing styles are primarily defined as a combination of a boxer's offensive strategy, guard or defensive system, stance and action in the ring. Some boxers will change their style depending on who their opponent is, while others will use the same style regardless of their opponent. For example, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is primarily known for his technical defence, orthodox stance, crab style, out-fighting. Yet at times he would switch his style, showboating in the ring, fighting southpaw stance, using a high guard, and fighting on the inside.
