i will site an example that could categorize the two and determine which style is better. a puncher type of boxer are those boxers that are like AJ Banal,Boom Boom Bautista. every punch is intentional for a KO opportunity. a stylish type of boxer are those boxers that are like Z Gorrez,Floyd mayweather.they move alot but does not have that quality of punch that can KO an opponent. what style is the safest or has the greater opportunity to win?

I would say the fighter with style i.e. a conventional boxer would be better. A puncher can be dangerous but if they are only relying on a single KO punch, then they can be out boxed by someone who is more skillful at boxing. The more stylish boxers may not have single power punches such as Floyd Mayweather but they can wear down their oponents by throwing constant flurries of punches. Eventually this can lead to a KO but most of the time it ensures that they will win if the fight does go the distance.
