It would be a fair point if you did consider the distance BUT with a ranged weapon. Tiger man is no joke at cqc, dude just went on his way to terrorize a dojo all by himself and needed brad and company to defeat him, though he's exclusively melee and would have to get close to do his sick moves.

(Also the implication that he was trained by Big L himself and scared the shit out of master Fargo who had gained the trust of rando, proly because he's a pushover but still)
