In an actual fight I would put Bruce Lee up against any of the MMA fighters and Boxers.robj55;1093929 wrote:You missed my point again lol, I can name several MMA fighters who would put an ass whooping on these heavyweights in an actual fight which is what you asked, who is the best HW FIGHTER of all time. There are better fighters than boxers.
You would put a 135 lb man who couldn't grapple against a 230 lb man who knew all the martial arts and trained in them all?password;1094243 wrote:In an actual fight I would put Bruce Lee up against any of the MMA fighters and Boxers.
The greatest boxer of all time would be Ali and the toughest would be Tyson.
No way, Bruce Lee gets destroyed by modern fighters, especially bigger ones.password;1094243 wrote:In an actual fight I would put Bruce Lee up against any of the MMA fighters and Boxers.

Yes I would. Why would he have to grapple with them, it is a fight. So, now all the MMA fighters are better trained in martial arts than Bruce Lee?robj55;1094256 wrote:You would put a 135 lb man who couldn't grapple against a 230 lb man who knew all the martial arts and trained in them all?
Once they got their hands on him it would be over, this is a different era. I have heard and read from many sources that Bruce Lee would not even be able to compete in an organization like the UFC.password;1094305 wrote:Yes I would.

It is just my opinion. I think they would have a hard time touching him before he knocked them out, but you are right if they got a hold of him, it might be trouble, not sure for who.robj55;1094310 wrote:Once they got their hands on him it would be over, this is a different era.

Its OBVIOUS he meant boxing but of course Robj decided 2 be a douche about it. Ill go with Ali.rmolin73;1094405 wrote:I believe thinthick meant "BOXING", not kickboxing or mma.
I don't doubt Bruce Lee was bad ass, but he was a movie star. You don't think there is a difference between fighting in movies and MMA?Y-Town Steelhound;1094495 wrote:Bruce Lee could land a devastating punch with AN INCH of room. Yea good luck trying to grapple him.
Dude Bruce Lee was kicking dudes asses in street fights long before he started acting. That's why his parents sent him to the US.FatHobbit;1094590 wrote:I don't doubt Bruce Lee was bad ass, but he was a movie star. You don't think there is a difference between fighting in movies and MMA?
He was the real deal. You are saying because he did a couple of movies showing his abilities, he was not real? You should read some articles about him and you will understand.FatHobbit;1094590 wrote:I don't doubt Bruce Lee was bad ass, but he was a movie star.

wtf, time for you to leave the thread and never talk about Bruce Lee againFatHobbit;1094590 wrote:I don't doubt Bruce Lee was bad ass, but he was a movie star. You don't think there is a difference between fighting in movies and MMA?
Yes. Lee was a pioneer but the sport has far surpassed where it was.password;1094305 wrote:Yes I would. Why would he have to grapple with them, it is a fight. So, now all the MMA fighters are better trained in martial arts than Bruce Lee?

If we transplanted a living Bruce to today and let him train I'm sure he would excel. But if we just straight up took the Bruce from back then and put him up against today's fighters he would be beaten handily.
That makes sense. We can see how well street fighting prepared Kimbo Slice for MMA.rmolin73;1094681 wrote:Dude Bruce Lee was kicking dudes asses in street fights long before he started acting. That's why his parents sent him to the US.
