people are so quick to discount boxing. i'd say it's just as practical as kung-fu and other martial arts in "real fighting," if not more so. only muy thai, BJJ, and a few others are without a doubt more useful.
lee would get murdered by tyson, he probably couldn't even get close enough to hit him most of the time.
So u think Tyson could out move bruce?
The fight would be over before he knew it.
By the time Mike threw a punch, Bruce would
be in the locker room askin Don for his money.

Lets look at this with some degree of common sense.
I dont think anyone would disagree that Mike tyson is not what we would call an intelligent person. In contrast Bruce Lee was an extremely intelligent individual and insightful philosopher.
Mike Tyson in his prime was a skilled power boxer with tremendous hand speed. He used the fear of his power and hand speed to disrupt fighters mentally and brute strength to defeat them physically.
Bruce Lee in his prime was a master of many different forms of fighting including: Boxing, Wing Chun, Fencing, Savate, Muay Thai, Jun Fan Grappling arts, Filipino Kali, as well as founding Jeet Kune Do( the way of the intercepting fist).
The sport of boxing is a classical form of fighting with fixed stances and positioning. Boxers use a series of punches to attack( jabs, hooks, check hooks, uppercuts, rabbit punch, etc), and bobbing, weaving and blocking to defend.
Jeet Kune Do is a non classical form of fighting which blends many different forms of fighting( Muay Thai, Western Boxing, Western wrestling etc) with an emphasis on efficiency, directness and simpicity.
The theory is to exploit, control and dominate your opponent's centerline.(The centerline refers to an imaginary line running down the center of one's body.)
All attacks, defenses and footwork are designed to preserve your own centerline and open your opponent's. Lee incorporated this theory into JKD from Wing Chun. This notion is closely related to maintaining control of the center squares in the strategic game chess.
Jeet Kune Do also uses techniques such as Simultaneous parrying & punching
When confronting an incoming attack, the attack is parried or deflected and a counter attack is delivered at the same time. Not as advanced as a stop hit but more effective than blocking and counter attacking in sequence. This is also practiced by some Chinese martial arts. Simultaneous parrying & punching utilizes the principle of economy of motion by combining attack and defense into two movements thus minimizing the "time" element and maximizing the "energy" element. Efficiency is gained by utilizing a parry rather than a block. By definition a "block" stops an attack whereas a parry merely re-directs an attack. Redirection has two advantages: It requires less energy to execute. It utilizes the opponents energy against them by creating an imbalance. Efficiency is also gained in that the opponent has less time to react to the nullification of their attack while having to worry about defending an incoming attack.
"To reach me you must move to me. This offers me an opportunity to take my longest weapon,my side kick and hit the nearest target, your kneecap. This can be compared to a left jab butis much more damaging" -Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee was simply smater, quicker and a much more efficient fighter. Weight does not matter when fighting this man because Mike would not even get a chance to land a blow.
Bruce Lee wins
The Man studied under one of the greatest Wing Chun masters and founded Jeet Kun Do. He's not China's greatest icon just for his films.Originally Posted by seniosoul

No. I'm a little over 200 lbs.....and I'd get my #+# handed to me on a silver platter by Lee, no doubt about it. I'm not talking aboutmyself here, I'm talking about Mike Tyson.Originally Posted by PlatinumFunk
It seems to me the "buff" guys in here are blindly supporting Tyson, almost as if to tell themselves "yeah, I can rep 300 on the BP, I can take all these lightweight dudes who know how to throw hands". Personally, I think Bruce Lee would win 9/10 times... the one loss being a successful blow by Tyson.
OK and? I don't see a little dude like Lee getting close to Tyson.Originally Posted by abeautifulhaze
I have met 5 foot nothing Masters that bring NBA sized trained fighters to their knees in seconds.
