    Well it's not really about how much you are on, rather how much you post when you are on, and which forums you post in. I'd be one of the most active posters in 3 forums (over the past 3 years, not currently).

    I can't see the argument for not putting Tiger in the MW top 10. He decisively beat the best MW of the late '50s/ early '60s (Fullmer) and the best of the late '60s (Benvenuti), both of whom are HOFers and generally rated either in or near the all time top 10. He also whupped another HOFer and top 20 MW in Giardello, and he was one of only two fighters in the whole history of boxing to become the unified champ at both MW and LHW (Bob Fitzsimmons was the only other one; no one else has done it since).

    I can't see how a guy can do all that and yet not be considered a lock for the top 10.

    Very simply due to the vast amount of great fighters in the weight division. They can't all be locks. He certainly has a good case though.
