Demetrius Johnson should be on par with Bruce Lee

To me he is the GOAT. Since he was never caught with PEDS like Jones and even Silva at the back end of his career. Either DJ or GSP.

The goat with 3 loses :mjlol:

PED’s or not Jon Jones is the best fighter to step inside a cage.
Who is above him in defending his UFC title 11 times without cheating? GSP maybe but he had so many decisions in his title run i put DJ just above.

He has 11 defenses but no signature wins. He beat Henry cejudo in his 11th fight and lost to him later on when he had more experience. DJ is a good fighter but he largely benefited from a really weak division.

Not digging through tons of video.

Here is a video asking some of the same questions, with notable people talking about what they saw with him



Cliffs:
- Lightning fast
- Excellent timing
- Excellent athlete
- Questionable punching technique by today's standards
- Devastating kick power

The short version, he had ALL the tools, but didn't focus on competetive fighting. Again, he did this 50 years ago, in what could be called a primitive fight era, and today's era built off what he did. Maybe if fighting made you a famous millionaire then like it can today, he would have and we would have a better comparison. I challenge you to find people that saw him in person and said he couldn't.


Jim Kelly is your source?:heh:

A random stuntman Bruce kicked on set while he was standing still:russ:

That video proves nothing. It actually validated my point. They got him kicking a heavy bag and saying how dangerous his kicks or saying how fast he was. It's all marketing and hype with nothing real to show.

I'm still waiting for proof that he could fight. People called him out for televised fights and he ducked them. The man was an actor and martial arts instructor not a fighter.

You forgot to add:

"During the early 1970s, Jim Kelly became one of the most decorated world karate champions in the sport. In 1971, he won four prestigious championships that same year, most notably, the World Middleweight Karate title at the 1971 Long Beach International Karate Championships."

Neither fought Bruce in a real fight or have proof of him fighting.

Chuck Norris once said Bruce was just good for a non fighter and Bruce Lee stans lost their shyt so Chuck kept it PC after that when people asked how good Bruce was.

He was just some mystical Asian man who wowed them with philosophy and demonstrations. That's all.

There are plenty of first hand accounts of playground hoopers who were better than Jordan :duck:

If you have no pro record or data we can quantify than I don't want to hear it. We know who the great fighters are because they were tested against other great fighters. Beating up Lau Xing Mei in a street fight is useless information.

Ali vs Frazier was in the 70's so why are you acting like there was no way of knowing how good a fighter was without camera phones? Great fighters aren't in the street they fight professionally. Bruce was not a fighter.



Its called the eye test,the footage shows how fast Bruce Lee was. Its a monk somewhere who would whup all yalls asses. All because you didnt believe due to a lack of footage:mjlol:



Problem is most of you dont understand the ancient ways. The true nature of being a fighter is learning how to avoid fights. We gain more joy in balancing our chi,than beating down other people:respect:

Did you pay attention? Kelly implied Lee embarrassed some greats, which is why he wouldn't name the names and blow their spots up. You think there is some grand conspiracy for them to keep Lee's name up?:dahell:

That's one person with a non-glowing review. What about the bunch of others?
