    8-15 seems about right.

    Stacked division. I can't even do a proper MW list, I get confused.

    In the early sixties....after his series with Fullmer, I think most people rated him in the Top Ten. He would have beaten Basilio and "old SRR" for sure.

    LaMotta would be a toss-up.

    He has decent pound for pound credentials.

    He made my top 100 pound for pound, but I ****ing love the guy and am probably biased.

    I'd say he's without any question whatsoever a top 100 fighter P4P, well higher IMO. I don't think any but those biased against Tiger would say otherwise to be honest.

    As a MW, I believe that he deserves a top 10 placing, which is saying a whole lot given how stacked the division's history is. Tiger was a truly great fighter.
