It would be varey thematic (keeping your guard up and knowing when to break it to attack is one of the fundamental skills in boxing) and it would make him far more dangerous (high speed high attack in attack form, high defenses low speed in defense form). Maybe not as extreme as aegislash, but you get the idea.
You could even give him his own version of King's Shield, only it raises his own attack instead of lowering his opponents.
