    I’d assume most of your list will be heavyweights since they tend to have more aura to most, although I could see someone like Hearns getting in this list with how intimidating he was.

    Early Nigel Benn. His punch power (100 % kos), his swagger and attitude.

    Disappeared after the classic Watson fight but turned it around to win 2 World titles and win that war vs Gerald McClellan.

    Real warrior.

    Shocked that peak Tyson wouldn't be the insta-#1 pick.

    Other examples: SRR, Dempsey, Olivares, Zamora, pre-stool Liston, pre-Zaire Foreman.

    Carlos Ortiz had negative aura. Zero rizz, no mogging, I don't think he's ever even heard of mewing. Hella negative aura with that skibidi face of his. Hella sussy, definitely the imposter.

    Arguello had top tier skibidi Ohio rizz. Alexis was the rizzler no cap. Even better rizz than Livvy Dunne rizzing up Baby Gronk fr fr on God.

    Nonito had sigma male aura in his prime fr, he fanum taxed loads of chins, the type of guy to have John Pork call him mid-fight. When prime Nonito got in the ring it was seriously morbin' time. Sin City was made for him.

    Good luck understanding any of this.
