    Really? Now that is a ****ing disgrace and shame, Ol` Tiger deserved better than that considering all the good fights he gave the paying public during his long career. He never shortchanged himself or the fans by coming into a fight unprepared or out of shape, and he was a real gentleman too by all accounts.

    Where do you think he ranks amongst the greats fellas?
