Your Thoughts On Bruce Lee?

[Southpaw Great]

Hey History Section.

I want to get your overall thoughts on Bruce Lee. Your thoughts on his legacy, the impact he left etc.

Lee was also a big fan of boxing, his favourites included the likes of Joe Louis, Willie Pep & Jim Driscoll. He was also Hong Kong amateur amatuer boxing champion.

Alot of ATG boxers also looked up to him etc Ray Leonard.

Ali and Ray Robinson were his favourite fighters. I dont think he had much of an impact on boxing, rather it was the fact that boxing had a lot of impact on him

Overrated ****.

How was Bruce Lee over rated.
Anyway, his impact on boxing was not big at all, he hardly had an impact on boxing.

He had a huge impact on one of the ATG boxers in Ray Leonard do.

People are getting confused. Am not asking did he have a impact on boxing, am just asking what your thoughts overall. It's a pretty non related boxing question. But still wanted to get your thoughts.

I dont think so. I know Leonard speaks highly of him and is good friends with Davis Miller a Bruce lee biographer who hooked Leonard up with rare Bruce lee stuff. Leonard says that he learned explosiveness and defense from Lee, but he never goes into too much detail about what he actually meant by that

He was a great athlete and martial artist who worked hard to achieve his goals in life, which is to be admired. He also had an unpleasant side as well, which made it hard for people to "warm" to him

Bruce Lee fought a Texas amateur boxer in a 3 round fight in Texas in 1962 Lee won a majority point decision and by all accounts he was slumped on his stool at the end completely knackered... Bruce Lee was nothing other than a Holywood film star he was not some kind of super human fighting machine... prime 4 prime if he was to fight Mike Tyson in the street Tyson would pick him up pull his arms and legs off and toss what was left into the pond... so get real instead of living in Mary Poppins Holywood dreamland.
