Your Thoughts On Bruce Lee?

[sonnyboyx2]

''Bruce was one of my idols''

''Bruce was a icon''

''He is in the dictionary when you see the word and you say the greatest, it's Bruce Lee''

''Bruce Lee Could Fight''

''Bruce Lee always had a way, he had style. I loved that style''

''Bruce was a example of hard work''

''He was special''

''The power he was able to generate was unbelivable''

All quotes from Sugar Ray Leonard

its like saying "Roy of the Rovers" is better than Zinadene Zidan... or Tarzan of the jungle swims better than Michael Phelps

I definitely disagree, Lee fought all the best Asian Martial Arts experts when he had his studio in California, he also grew up fighting as a kid, & had to learn to fight, he was the original Mixed Martial Arts expert, he incorporated all fighting styles he thought would be useful, he supposedly never lost a fight against any of the Martial Art's experts he faced on the street & none were suppose to have lasted but a minute or couple of minutes, I read a book about his fighting & they said he was just too fast & powerful for any of his opponents, it was measured at the time, Joe Frazier's punch was 450lb. Lee's was 350 & he weighed much less, so with his speed, he could hit hard & often, so I believe on the street, he has a chance to kick Tyson in the legs, knees, head, arms & hurt him, or even take him down, boxers do not do well in the Octagon, why do you think, Tyson never attempted it.
And Bimbo Slice thought he could box & entered the octagon & a bum, run of the mill mixed martial art's guy beat him easily, also remember the Chinese Hulk, BOLO, he supposedly had been a huge street fighter in his time & that's what got him into movies, he reportedly challenged Lee during their Movie together & witnesses said it last less than 45 seconds, as Lee took him out with some well placed kicks & punches that were just too fast for him, so Lee was a fighter, he was the fastest puncher, possibly of all-time.

I don't follow Amateur Boxing so I wouldn't know.

Nor do I like those kind of Film's he used to be in.

My thoughts on him as a fighter? Non existant. He wasn't one.

Great Martial Artist who died before his time.Him and Jim Kelly were the s**T.

The guy that beat Slice didn't even have much of a career anyway. Slice later left after losing on The Ultimate Fighter to become a boxer. Also, Petruzelli, who TKO'd Slice, actually just retired this week.

I respect him for opening the doors to Asian actors in Hollywood, and shedding light on Asian culture to the west. That is all.

I think he was a short **** stuntman whose badassery is highly exaggerated by a sea of internet ******* who grew up on kung fu flicks and collect nunchucks, despite the fact that he'd never been in a real fight in his entire life, and the fact that he was, quite literally, KTFO'd by an asprin.

I also think threads about him don't belong in the 'boxing history' section.
