I wasn't comparing Gracie to Lee, I only used the example to show you the obvious flaw in your logic, that size and strength mean nothing topeople with this kind of skill level. Like I said, only way Tyson has a chance against Bruce Lee is if Lee decides to be ******ed and stand directly in frontof Tyson and exchange blows...
as opposed to what, sneaking up behind him?

and your presumption that "size and strength mean nothing" is absurd. they mean a great deal, which is why any professional combat sport is strictly broken up by weight class.
@ your first statement. You see no other alternative ways tofight someone besides standing directly in front of them, or sneaking up behind them? No wonder we're having this conversation.....
Your second statement is EXACTLY why I used the Royce Gracie example to begin with, because there WAS NO WEIGHT CLASS, jeezus. And what I said was "sizeand strength mean nothing to people of that skill level. "

^^ sumo is an intense wrestling
they go through real harsh training and they are really strong
plus he goes to the ground with a dude trained for wrestling
learn your facts, sumo wrestlers are reallly really trained intensly
i bet you if he grabbed tyson it would be over
( dont come back with if he grabbed bruce, because he wouldnt be able to , plus if he did bruce would slip away, boxing footwork is very easy to take down and trap)
Yeah, Akebono is really strong and trained intensely - which is why he has such a poor MMA record. Eating chankonabe and falling asleep all daystands you in good stead to fight other sumo wrestlers. You're using a very poor comparison to illustrate your point.
Sure, put Bruce Lee in a lightweight division or something in pro-boxing and he would probably do extremely well. Put him in a heavyweight division and Idon't think he would do very well at all.
Just because he was the cha-cha-cha king of Hong Kong does not mean that he would destroy Tyson.
what he said.
