    Could arguably say Nonito Donaire, latter half of his career. Went from more of a vaguely sterile mid-range boxer-puncher countering specialist to a "fuck it, my legs are mostly gone, let's just tear each other apart" type but still with very precise hands.

    He's an interesting case for sure. I think he's a lot closer to a swarmer than a boxer puncher personally

    I agree that he's a bit of a rogue if your classifying his style though

    Was he? I don't know any of the fights he ended up like that aside from Inoue of course

    César Juárez, most notably. Few others. Magdaleno, Burnett, and Frampton come to mind.

    Yeah, absolutely.

    And for what it's worth, to add my 2 cents to another comment, the Burnett loss didn't break my heart, I was over the moon thrilled.:sisi1
