Bernard Hopkins. Those other guys might be all gangly arms and legs and southpaws and what not, but show me the last person to mount anything resembling an effective offense on Bernard Hopkins.

[Sugar Sting Ray]

Ken Norton

Emanuel Burton, indeed. Ashley Theopane is awkward. Hamed was goofy as well.

I'm assuming you mean a guy that looks awkward in the ring but gets it done

Gene Fulmer, Sammy Angott, Cyclone Hart

some people take awkward to mean a guy that is "hard to get at", some people take it to mean a style that is just hard to work with in general.

I've always been fascinated with guys that didn't have much power but could win tough fights because they had a difficult style. I remember reading about an old philly fighter named Johnny Ja**** who was a light hitter but could hang with the best because he was in shape and just all over the place all the time. Canzoneri fought him a couple times and they asked him what gave him so much trouble, he was lost for words but said "There's just something about thatguy!"
