Mike would destroy Bruce. However, if Bruce is so fraud like many of these cats who didnt even fukking exist around that period of time claim, then how come a PLETHORA of folks involved in martial arts, combat sports etc from that time cosign Bruce as the real deal, and better yet, why have many successful fighters and martial artists have followed his methods till this day? Ill take their word over a bunch of cats who have never trained or stepped in any kind of ring any day. And news flash, a TON of shyt yall know of from those days and history PERIOD tend to have come from word of mouth, but yall wanna pick and choose what to believe depending on who its about and shyts corny. Yall act like the Lee familu been cutting checks for the past 70 or so years for folks to speak on him :mjlol: man stop.

Bruce Lee was Jewish (allegedly) and brought martial arts to Hollywood. All those people who cosign Bruce Lee are fan boys and worked with him.

Bruce Lee is Hollywood Royalty. He was gaining mega bucks for his films which was unheard of for Asian led films that was stereotypical. So if you was into Marital Arts and wanted to break in..you went through Lee...they are Bias.

Again Blacks should champion Jim Kelly.

Jim Kelly said Bruce Lee was the truth and was the greatest martial artist he ever seen.

And Im posed to believe that because Jim Kelly is Bias as fukk. Also Jim Kelly actually has stripes.

The only reason those martial artists flock to Bruce Lee is cause he was the HEAD ASIAN IN CHARGE im Hollywood for that genre.

So yes....they would be inclined to champion Lee.

He had the studios and the money backing him


He has 0 street cred other than word of mouf...you can view Jim Kelly fights and championships.

Bruce Lee was a professional actor. That means he’s really good at playing pretend. Mike experienced real combat. He also out weighed him by 100 pounds give or take.

Weight classes exist for a reason.
Bruce Lee wasn’t JUST an actor. He was real martial artist on the streets and had his own school. On top of that he created an entire fighting style, philosophy and culture that’s the prelude to MMA. People need to cut this bullshyt out with reducing him to just some actor. On top of that. Weight classes exist for a reason in ORGANIZED COMPETITION. Meaning head to head. Same sport. With rules and regulations. Weight classes don’t mean much on the streets with skilled fighters and no rules.

What studios? Do you know the type of roles Bruce had (prior to Enter the Dragon) in Hollywood? There’s a reason he left and started making movies in China. They literally stole that Kung Fu series from him and made David Caradine the star. Don’t act like Bruce Lee had some Hollywood clout.

Bruce Lee is held to a really high bar.

Age old debate, Bruce Lee vs......

He was good at what he did, and is a cultural icon that is well deserved. But come on, he's not beating a Heavyweight Champ in a fight. Matter of fact, most, if not all, pro fighters would give him that work....

I'm from the 80s so I remember all of the myths around Bruce Lee (one inch punch, super chi, etc...)

But I also grew up watching prime Mike Tyson getting in "for real" fights lol

Bruce is fast on camera but Mike Tyson might have been the fastest heavy weight I've ever seen (in terms of head movement).

He's top 3 in hand speed only behind Ali and Floyd Patterson, IMO.
