This claim is utter nonsense. LF7 at 20.5 mph generates approximately 3900 ft.lbs./sec momentum whereas a 500 lb tiger at 35 mph generates over 25k ft.lbs./sec. It is not even close. I do not understand how he could make such an obviously absurd assertion.

Perhaps the catch is, since the (larger faster) tiger doesn't try to run through his prey, and stops to consume it upon contact the tiger isn't generating full momentum on contact?

I think he was referring to Mike The Tiger who's lazy azz doesn't move very fast in his cage.
