    I'm picking Steve Collins to kick this off. When he boxed he never looked like a fighter but he had an incredible chin and and an over-blown ego that somehow allowed him to dog out wins.

    Any more examples?

    Froch at times.
    Wlad Klitschko - ugly is so much as its horrible to watch
    B-hop, very ugly most of the time but very effective. (could be argued its not ugly at all, i appreciate that)

    Froch is probably the ugliest most effective fighter today IMO. Looks incredibly awkward and slow.

    Ward. He's very good at spoiling his opponents boxing. Effective as **** but tedious.

    Ward when he's putting his shots together looks good though. I agree the holding etc and butting is ugly but technically its all there.

    :huh:huh:huh

    Marquez would top a 'most beautiful style' poll and nothing wrong with Pacman's. in my opinion

    Am I missing something?
