Lightweight boxers generally have a speed advantage. The best tactic is to stick and move. Wait for your opponent to throw a punch, close in, throw a combo, and then back off.

Heavyweight boxers usually have a power and reach advantage; try to corner lighter boxers against the ropes or in the corner and pummel them.

Timing is critical! Make your opponent miss by dodging or stepping out of range, then move in for the attack.
