OK. How about any guy you choose of your liking that you have seen NO real fighting from against a professional MMA fighter. Who are you betting on? Why does Bruce get a pass?

youre making it seem like im choosing a random bum off the street.

im betting towards the pioneer/inventor of a martial arts in his prime who has a reputation that still gets talked about almost 40 years after his death

That isn't a valid argument though. What comes before doesn't mean it is better. Without Dr. J there would be no Mike Jordan. Does the same logic applies to that situation?

With that being said, Bruce Lee would KILL Anderson Silva! It wouldn't be fair honestly.

I agree with these guys, That's why it's my "opinion".

and DC Basketball is a whole different thing, I see were you're going though

Again, that logic is faulty. The teacher never teaches all of his tricks to a student? Well, if that logic applies, wouldn't that disqualify Bruce from being greater than anyone that taught him? Please stop with the past > present mindset that we seem to have when it comes to athletics. Yes basketball is different but the same premise can be used. Because someone inspired/influenced someone means they must be greater than that person? You can't use that as an argument.

You 5'7 165 too? 

 

 

[his diabolical majesty]

So the best argument is that Bruce was too fast for the cameras of the 70's? and that he could push his student's down real fast from an inch away?

Yea I don't care if someone says either one would win if they had a valid argument but some of the supporting arguments some of you have thrown out are laughable.

bruce lee:

Fight history

Lee was involved in competitive fights, some of which were arranged while others were not. Dan Inosanto stated, "There's no doubt in my mind that if Bruce Lee had gone into pro boxing, he could easily have ranked in the top three in the lightweight division or junior-welterweight division".[42]
Lee defeated three-time champion British boxer Gary Elms by way of knockout in the third round in the 1958 Hong Kong Inter-School amateur Boxing Championships by using Wing Chun traps and high/low-level straight punches.[43]
The following year, Lee became a member of the "Tigers of Junction Street," and was involved in numerous gang-related street fights. "In one of his last encounters, while removing his jacket the fellow he was squaring off against sucker punched him and blackened his eye. Bruce flew into a rage and went after him, knocking him out, breaking his opponent's arm. The police were called as a result".[44] The incident took place on a Hong Kong rooftop at 10 pm on Wednesday, 29 April 1959.[45] In 1962, Lee knocked out Uechi, a Japanese black belt Karateka, in 11 seconds in a 1962 Full-Contact match in Seattle. It was refereed by Jesse Glover. The incident took place in Seattle at a YMCA handball court. Taki Kamura says the battle lasted 10 seconds in contrary to Hart's statement.[46] Ed Hart states "The karate man arrived in his gi (uniform), complete with black belt, while Bruce showed up in his street clothes and simply took off his shoes. The fight lasted exactly 11 seconds – I know because I was the time keeper – and Bruce had hit the guy something like 15 times and kicked him once. I thought he'd killed him".[47]

from the wikipedia ...

there are innumerable anecdotes one being that he broke his back several times in competition ... he was a tough !!+*$%##+***, so much so that he was actually the FIRST documented death by way of marijuana ... LOL!!!

silva would have a chance, but then again so would superman ...

What do you know about any of Lee's training?....... I'll wait, so I don't have to waste my fingers energy. 
Of course there are always relatives with this kind of debate, but with no rules in a "real-life" setting, I am taking Lee.

Silva aint even beating Shane Mosley.''

Wing Chun is no joke man.
