Lee's Wing Chun and his footwork would help him a lot here. Tyson can take a beating, but 4-5 quick fists in the forehead will take most people down.

Are you on crack man? Lee's fighting style was all about mixed martial arts, he combined the best of all fighting styles. Physically he was perfect, treated his body as a temple and knew how to feed it.

Oops I voted for the wrong one.

Mike Tyson all day long.
Bruce was like 135lb on his best day, Heavyweight is 200lb minimum.

Anyone who thinks Bruce wins knows nothing about fighting in a practical sense.
I'm as big a bruce lee nuthugger fanboy as you'll find but it doesn't change reality.

Prime Bruce Lee vs Prime Mike Tyson isn't even close. I would bet all my net worth on Tyson.

Depends on the field:

In an alley fight with all the dirty tricks and gangster stuff involved?
Mike Tyson w/o a shadow of doubt.

In a controled enviroment with rules etc...? Maybe Bruce would end up besting Mike just because of his bttr mobility, tho, the moment good ole Mike connects a punch in lil Bruce's face, you would hear the sound of broken bones... :iagree:

In an alley fight ( ie no rules) Tyson would go down in the first few seconds. Tyson maybe trained to smack people in the head, but ANY, any top martial artist could take out any boxer, past present or future. The amount of places on the body, that, if attacked in the right way causes total immobalisation is scary. They are not used in any MMA contests for a reason - death and serious injuries not to good for viewing figures ( good m8 is an MMA & she's female :p, i've had some explained to me & it hurt !)

Lee everytime, even though Tyson may have the bulk and power, he doesn't have the speed or mobility or tactical skills Lee would possess. It would either end quickly with Bruce Lee using short sharp attacks to bring Tyson down, or he would play the waiting game and provoke Tyson into making mistakes, then take him down.

Just fucking rofl.

a 130lb guy is gonna take down mike tyson?
You really think a 130lb guy can generate enough power to KO or sub tyson? Or even has the reach to get inside to utilise his "speed" while completely ignoring that Mike Tyson had the highest handspeed of any modern HWT.

Just waffle my lolloffell.

in a street fight it wouldn't even last a round with ending up Tyson in hospital for months
90% (made up number) of martial arts you can't use in a contest as its too dangerous

"Speed", they are referring to is not just hand speed... its his mobility as well

Could he drop a 130lb guy, ofc he could Lee was in insane physical condition. Just look at his show pieces where he cracks wooden boards using his 1 inch punch

The people who think Bruce Lee would win are on a similar level to moon landing conspiracists - why would I waste any more time trying to argue the point?

ahhh, your extreme arrogance is rearing its ugly head again... carry on, carry on.

i'm doing a special offer this week on pre-dug graves, no spade needed.

pretty clear you know next to fuck all about martial arts, but your arrogance has put you in this oh so sweet position, its grrreeeat.

explain... other than rambling you have done nothing to proove your point

To be fair, ECA gave his reasons in his first post, and then gave more. If you can't be bothered to read them, then accuse him of rambling, then don't expect anything but trolling from him in answer.

oh sorry, missed that.

He says he was heavier, thats it. Bring on Giant Haystacks then, by that measure he would pwn all.

try harder to prop up your m8s, fail so far.

Zede, fuck off, I'm not propping anyone up, was hoping this thread would not descend in to trolling dribble, obviously you have no interest in that.

He stated he was heavier and fast. Now chroniktank ignored those comments, or appears to have.

I think Lee would win because tyson wouldn't be able to hit him the bugger was like greased lightning and had a level of control that would help him maintain focus in a fight, whereas tyson although certainly a good boxer has demonstrated that he has little grasp on his ability to maintain self control (biting someones ear off is not the action of a dude who is at one with his surroundings)

its not all about size and strength; speed, focus and awareness are key parts of winning a fight.

he was heavier is his only real argument, to that i pointed out that in 1 inch he could break boards so a full punch would definitely have an impact

he may (i will take his word for it as i cba to google) have been the fastest heavy weight boxer but someone has already shown he is significantly slower than lee so didn't highlight it in terms of hand speed, and considerably less mobile

They were his only points which i replied to and then continued the rambling :p

The size and weight argument does not hold any real weight (excuse the pun) as there are clear examples of small people taking down giants, just watch UFC and you can see. A lot more things are involved.

fuck off yourself.

Fuck me, are you actually saying he thinks that Tyson is heavier than Lee ?

SHIT, the sky is blue too !

Willing to bet every single person on the planet thinks Lee is faster than Tyson, but not Mr ECA, and he's right of course. Really, try harder.

One of my students is a wee wain of a girl. Size 6 or 8, under 5 foot tall, but she can handle herself no problem. I saw her take down a 17 stone 6 foot 4 guy once. It was so sweet to see :D

Being heavy & muscled isn't everything

By the sounds of it either do you, weight means fuck all what your describing is basicly a brute force scenario assuming bruce lee would stand toe to toe with tyson and actually allow tyson to hit him :l Tyson would have a hard enough time hitting someone with lee's experience let alone keeping up with lee's stamina and agility.

Stick all that together and take into account Lee was trained in Wing Tsun and a master and founder of Jeet Kune Do which was basicly a powerful offensive / defensive fighting style.


Tyson would fail :/ whats the use in having strong hits if you can't land them? quite pointless really.
