    Which active fighter has the most awkward but effective fighting style?


    (I am sure that I'm forgetting some so just select "Other")

    Agbeko is quite awkward. He's not on the list, but Junior Witter was always a tough, awkward unorthodox fighter.

    I think Maidana is awkward as hell. So do many of his past opponents.

    Martinez is not awkward. He just fights with his hands down and uses foot speed.

    Darchinyan. Now thats awkward. He is like a damn crab.

    I picked Darchinyan...he looks like he's crouching or some **** in the ring. Also worthy of mention is Emmanuel Lucero against Pacquiao...weird ass style.

    Darchinyan.

    LOL at whoever said vitali, there is nothing awkward or weird about his style at all.

    Sakio Bika, although Darchinyan is very awkward as well. Another guy not on the poll who's very awkward is Rendall Munroe. Can probably throw Celestino Caballero onto that list as well.

    i don't know if he's still around, but carlos mausa was one of the most awkward fighters iv'e ever seen.. just ask cotto and hatton.

    two fighters still around who i think are awkward as hell are vitali klitschko and vic darchinyan.

    Darchinyan by far the most awkward on the list, some of course might argue that he is not as effective as he is hyped up to be, but he is effective.
    Vitali isn't awkward, Maidana isn't awkward and Augustus isn't effective (at least not anymore).
