    Mugabi.

    What he did was unlike other big hitters. John would get in ring center and play the feint game. And with that 2 handed power, look to deliver those big shots of his own & the opponent's feints. Sure do need fast hands to play that game. And some whiskers because that type style also means getting hit clean.

    Carl Froch seemed to break a lot of conventions with his style but really made it work at a high level

    Two Ton Tony Galento.

    Ernie Terrell always came out strong using his size in an awkward attempt to overpower his opponents in the first couple rounds. If they survived, he then he settled into his patented slowed-down awkward style.

    From written accounts, Harry Greb could have an awkward, brawling style at times.

    Has anyone here seen Ernesto Espana fight? Good Lord, in Webster's dictionary his picture is the definition for awkward.
