What is the best boxing style?
I think "Counterpuncher", the style of Joe Louis, the best heavyweight boxer ever lived. Louis beat guys who used every other style (Max Baer, slugger / Jack Sharkey, swarmer / Jersey Joe Walcott, Out-Boxer). Fact is that Louis beat every famous and well-known heavyweight in his time, during his prime. Some say that boxing is like the child game "Rock-Paper-Scissors", every style beats another certain style, but is beaten by another one, who wins against the first mentioned. Sluggers beat swarmers, out-boxers beat sluggers and swarmers beat out-boxers. A good example are Muhammad Ali (out-boxer), George Foreman (slugger) and Joe Frazier (swarmer). Foreman beat Frazier, Ali beat Foreman and Frazier beat Ali. And the counterpuncher (also called boxer-puncher) beats every of these other styles.
