I didn't even know that.............and this guy SneakerHeathen still thinks he has a legitimate case.
Gary Elms was not a 3-time champ at a pro level...
My case is still far more legit than anyone else who has yet to post. Especially yours.
BTW there seems to be alot of things you "didn't even know"....
Why would I have to know everything about Bruce Lee to know that Lee would have absolutely kicked Mike Tyson's !!%!?
Fighting is more perceptive than just a guy with power who is just trained to punch and counter-punch.
And what's up with this crap about "pro fighters"!? Granted Lee never fought a guy like Ali or Tyson..........but I am willing to bet that both of these guys would have some hard thinking to do before accepting a fight with Bruce Lee whereas I'm sure Lee would love to accept the challenge. I don't distinctly recall Mike Tyson challenging a black belt or red belt to a fight...You think in Don King terms of "pro fighting".....and show little to no respect for a martial artist the caliber of Bruce Lee.
And by the way.....your case isn't anywhere close to legit which is why other people besides me are in total disagreement with you.
Thats easy, because its popular to shout out "Lee" in these arguments.
Anyways, I show respect to those who earn it. Lee's caliber is in question, I'm questioning it. Why? Because he's not a pro-fighter. His life wasn't dedicated to fighting others for money. People (boxers, mma, kickboxers, etc) who actually fight on a pro level because that's how they eat, THEY earn my respect.
Not sensationalized martial-artists/actors......Sorry I'm not buying into the hype like most are. I go against the grain when I have to.
That's not a legitimate argument because if you took the money away from "pro-fighters" would they still fight? I highly doubt it. Bruce Leewas doing it because he had a passion for it. He didn't go into it thinking he would make x amount of dollars for what he did.
