Not going thru the 5 pages but I once saw a quote that Bruce Lee allegedly said Ali had too much of a height and weight advantage.

Whether the quote is real or not, it’s a good point.

That said...if MMA has taught us anything, it’s that technique can often overcome physical attributes.

Adaptability was one of the cornerstones of the Jeet Kune Do concept. Be like water, Bruce would say. I think the size advantage would be a problem versus Ali, but if ever there was a person that could figure a way around it...it would be Bruce.

Size doesn't mean anything. I've knocked down dudes twice my size. In a regulation boxing match i'm sure Ali would win but not in the street.Pounds per Square Inch is a real thing, the average man can generate enough force to break a knee with a kick...imagine would bruce lee could do..I'm sure he would break ali's ribs or severly damage his arms if he tried to block. Ali wouldn't stand a chance.
Lee could do this. Lee could do that. But the only thing I see Lee doing is movies.

700 lb deadlift:dead:
One armed push up with a 210 lb person on his back:mjlol:
1200 psi punch vs 900 psi for tyson :duck:

10 movies out. Not a single clip of his superhuman feats. We call those ducktales uh woo hoo
