Yeah but I heard an unsourced quote from an internet person that Lee could kick faster than the eye could see. That seems like a pretty legit advantage.

Lee said boxers were dangerous since they just focused on knocking people the gently caress out. My money is still on Lee though.

I'm sort of channeling a thread from like three or four years ago, in which someone said that a blow to the head hurts, no matter who you are. Mike Tyson, thousandTime Heavyweight Champion of the World, would be totally useless if you got kicking involved.

Yes, according to one of Bruce Lee's books.


Bruce Lee emphasized the importance of punching over kicking as it doesn't put you as off balance and allows you to more quickly strike and maneuver.

I don't really understand, then. It's clear to me that Bruce Lee would beat Mike Tyson in a NHB throwdown. But if your're just keeping things to punching then it seems like Tyson would have a clear advantage.

One of Bruce Lee's actual fights got him to emphasize cardio training and endurance because the guy he was fighting ran away like a bitch and Bruce had to spend an extra five minutes running him down to beat his rear end instead of settling things in under a minute like he preferred.

Fun fact: Bruce Lee once hit Jackie Chan in the face during enter the dragon, and Bruce Lee got really concerned that he hurt him, then Jackie Chan cried like a bitch... because he wanted an excuse to spend more time hanging around Bruce.

Well, that settles it. Bruce Lee is clearly the better fighter. You can all stop blowing Mike Tyson.

Lol at all the people saying Mike Tyson was one of the best boxers of all time.
Next to Ali, he was the flashiest, and he had perhaps the fastest hook-uppercut combi of all time. But dude couldn't take a punch for poo poo. Buster loving Douglas knocked him out. I can't recall one actually excellent boxer he ever beat, but I can recall a string of losses once he started fighting skilled opps. The strongest opponent he actually beat was probably Robin Givens.

Bruce Lee vs. Ali. That would be a good debate/

You're like the third of fourth loving dude to mention Ali in this thread. I don't really have any opinion about him. Just know that he's a stone cold retard now, and Mike Tyson is at least semi coherent. Even has hobbies like pigeons and acting in Adult Swim cartoons and poo poo. So it kind of sounds like Tyson could dodge punches better.

if a 140lb pro boxer could beat a 210lb pro boxer, they wouldn't have weight classes ergo bruce lee doesnt have a chance in a straight fistfight owing to the fact that he was a human being not a magical chinaman.

lets be realistic if they were both stuck on a desert island bruce lee would simply run away until he could fashion a cannon out of rocks and bamboo

Magical chinaman, tho.

not the human eye, you double gaywad, the garbage film cameras they used in the late 60's/early 70's. A big part of bruce lee's mystique is that there's very little actual footage of him doing any cool kung fu stuff because film was expensive and terrible until the last few years he was alive, and then he died. Dude got into an absolute ton of fights when he was a smartass hong kong street rat and developed his own fighting style to basically be the best at street fighting but ofc there aren't random youtube videos of him beating up guys in an alley

That's incredibly fascinating. So in your mind is "rumble in the bronx" like the same thing as a heavyweight boxing match?
