Chinese boxing and drunken boxing? Not too sure what theyre like besides BS video games. Devil is right, Savate is nasty. You wear shoes during it too. It was a special on FIT tv. Good stuff.

Are those the only ones?

Well, Those aren't exactly "styles" of boxing as you'd call them. To the chinese, the word for boxing means "to punch" or " to fight". Thats why you have mantis boxing etc etc but they still use legs. I wouldn't call kickboxing boxing just because the word boxing is there. Like calling Mcdonalds, Food.

In the Realm of boxing there are a few "different" styles although they are slight variations of the Orthadox stance. Unlike TMAs where a different style is a totally different jump from each "style".
In boxing, theres a "peek-a-boo" stance, A crouched stance, X-guard stance and a few others i forgot. But they aren't so much styles as they are different tatics/methods.

i completely agree with shard on boxing's "peek-a-boo, crouched, x-gaurd, and a few others not being so much as styles but as in tactics, i believe to be an all around good boxer one needs to know all these tactics, to successfully compete against any different tactic your opponent maybe using, as far as warrior189, i dont understand the question really, maybe you are interested in boxing as in ring combat? or competitive Martial arts?

Chinese boxing is just what westerners called it, and MT/kickboxing/savate/ect... aren't "boxing," they are martial diciplines or sport of thier own. Western boxing does have different "styles" but like people are sayin it is simply a deviation in stance and tactics. For example, many mexican boxers are very sneaky and illusive, that could be considered thier "style."
