• Lee's striking speed from three feet with his hands down by his side reached five hundredths of a second.[sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-59[/sup]
• Lee's combat movements were at times too fast to be captured on film at 24 frames per second, so many scenes were shot in 32 frame per second to put Lee in slow motion. Normally martial arts films are sped up.[sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-60[/sup][sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-62[/sup]
• In a speed demonstration, Lee could snatch a dime off a person's open palm before they could close it, and leave a penny behind.[sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-63[/sup]
• Lee would hold an elevated v-sit position for 30 minutes or longer.[sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-InterceptingFist-57[/sup]
• Lee could throw grains of rice up into the air and then catch them in mid-flight using chopsticks.[sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-WarmMarble-51[/sup]
• Lee could thrust his fingers through unopened cans of Coca-Cola. (This was when soft drinks cans were made of steel much thicker than today's aluminium cans).[sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-64[/sup]
• Lee performed one-hand push-ups using only the thumb and index finger[sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-ArtExpress-58[/sup][sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-ArtExpress-58[/sup]
• Lee performed 50 reps of one-arm chin-ups.[sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-66[/sup]
• Lee could break wooden boards 6 inches (15 cm) thick.[sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-67[/sup]
• Lee could cause a 300-lb (136 kg) bag to fly towards and thump the ceiling with a side kick.[sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-ArtExpress-58[/sup]
• Lee performed a side kick while training with James Coburn and broke a 150-lb (68 kg) punching bag[sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-InterceptingFist-57[/sup][sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-68[/sup]
• In a move that has been dubbed "Dragon Flag", Lee could perform leg lifts with only his shoulder blades resting on the edge of a bench and suspend his legs and torso perfectly horizontal midair.[sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#cite_note-69[/sup]

How many of yall SERIOUSLY believe this %@%*?

I mean honestly...some of the stuff on this list sounds like the predecessor to the Chuck Norris jokes....

I didnt wanna say anything about it.....but how slow do u have to be to allow someone to take a dime outta your hand and leave a penny behind.

I can do all that stuff

go ahead and think Tyson isn't just as Bruce smart in the ring...

dudes set out to make bruce lee the greatest fighter to ever breathe.
he is a hero of mine but still... dont play mike off like he doesnt stand a chance. cause real talk, its obvious who's basing their bruce lee knowledge offhis movies, rather than his martial arts achievements outside of film...

 

[afresh]

Can we ask a more serious question though?

Bruce Lee swag vs. Iron Mike swag?

nah I'm just playin.





but really though

 

[bc2310]

On page 5 I posted Bruce 9 out of 10

Anyone with a Jiu-Jitsu black belt that weighed more than 170 lbs would beat Tyson 5 out of 10 times

Bruce would easily out-strategize Tyson.
I'm calling Lee the greatest fighter to ever live. I dont base that on his movies. I base it on his knowledge, PROVEN knowledge, of fighting and styles;creating your own form of martial arts that mixes many forms to adapt to any fighter, gives you an upper hand against anyone. THAT is why Lee would win. Hecould adapt to how Tyson fights, then break him down.

It's never about strength, I dont know why you people think that it is. Fighting is about strategy. Bruce's strategy > Tysons. Thats why Lee wouldwin.

 

[trethousandgt]

Quote: Iron Mike, no competition, I don't see why people hype up Bruce Lee like he was a killing machine. Iron Mike was a REAL fighter.

And Bruce Lee wasn't?


Not on the level Tyson was.

this is pretty comical, bruce lee would WIPE THE FLOOR WITH HIM, he was most definitely not overrated, how hard someone can hit means NOTHING. Throw miketyson IN HIS PRIME into the ring with a half way decent MMA fighter and he would have his butt handed to him, let alone Bruce Lee, that dude would murder mike,and im a big Tyson fan.

No one is underestimating Mike Tyson's ability as a boxer. That's the thing though, Mike Tyson is only a boxer. He is one-dimensional. Hesimply wouldn't have the ability to defend himself against what Bruce Lee could throw at him. It's not a knock on his abilities as a boxer.

 

[airthompson]

You never know what can happen. In a series out of 3 I'm sure one can beat the other @ least once.

If Tyson connects with a combo, lights out Bruce!
I dont care how strong or fast you are, nobody can withstand too many punches from prime Tyson.

On the other hand, Bruce is a smarter fighter. He is very patient in contrast of Tyson.
Bruce has a black belt Jui-Jitsu. Boxing is one dimensional Tyson knows is how to counter punches, he wouldnt have a clue what to do.

Winner: I dunno gonna role with Bruce

 

[purple sneaks]

bruce lee roy.

"its not about comparing the body size, its all about how you use your body as a ultimate weapon" - Bruce Lee..

[trapmuzik617]

if we were talkin straight boxin i'd say mike... but this is a no holds barred, fight to the death... gotta roll wit Lee

 

[sir rob a lot]

So......Bruce Lee is the ultimate, unbeatable Fighter of all-time?!

No. But Mike isn't as ferocious out of the ring as he is inside. It's really not that hard to comprehend. It wouldn't be a blow forblow fight. They won't both be standing still. It's quite simple I mean Tyson doesn't know how to defend himself anywhere below the stomach. Anyonewith Bruce Lee's knowledge and in his shape could defeat Tyson. That's what I'm saying. There isn't alot of people in that shape with thatknowledge, but I just don't understand people belittling Bruce because he doesn't have documented fights. With that much training in that many fightingstyles it doesn't matter if you have never fought a day in your life. If you are athletic enough and smart enough you can beat any boxer Iron Mike includedin a street fight

 

[lesfamilia]

Bruce would destroy Iron Mike. There's no debate here at all.

 

[Thats My Word]

does mike get to kick in this fight?

 

[inine5]

would a closed fist-gloveless punch to the face by bruce lee break bruce's hand or break tyson's face?

You are joking right. Heavy bags don't hit back. Mike has proven he can take a punch Bruce has not. And could someone please explain to me what major damage Lee will do Tyson's legs? Becuase I watch a ton of K-1 and this argument seems to be such BS to me. I don't think people realize how many shots it will take to take out a leg. Plus I could name atleast 20 dudes off the top of my head that would ether Lee, not including Iron Mike.

You ever seen someone get their kneecap kicked in?
It's gross.
Or kicked any way. One of the shots would get through, and Mike's down.

Remember, this is a no-rules fight between the two.

Now name 20 people that could ether Lee.

He may have developed his own system but that's a far cry from making him the best fighter ever. I'm sure he'd stand a chance againstGSP, Spider, FEDOR, etc.. Please. Stop with this ridiculousness. Jeet Kune Do was a precursor to mma but so is something like Pankration. It's a far cryfrom being a proven fighting system. Heck, it's more of a philosophy than a real set of fighting techniques. You guys are smoking some serious crack if youthink Bruce Lee was as good as his movies tell you.

Look, Bruce Lee did more for martial arts than anyone in history. But that's not the same thing as being a super hero invincible 130lb dude.

BE WATER MY FRIEND

Bruce broke this dude's sternum with this kick here:

sorry so small

Well like I said, I dont base my pick off his movies. I base it off what he knows and how he strategizes. Speed counts a lot too.
And I used Jeet Kune Do as an example of him being able to adapt to any fighting system, and break it down. Well not any, but certainly boxing. In my mind, the only people in history who can stand a chance against Lee, that I've heard of, wouldbe Jet Li and dude from Tony Jaa. Either way, Tyson wouldnt last 12 round with Lee.

You obviously don't know anything. You're obviously just basing all of your information off movies. Seriously, the only 2 guys in historywho'd stand a chance against Bruce Lee are 2 other actors!? Please. Making stuff look nice on film isn't the same as real fighting. Not in the mostremote sense.
