Is Bruce Lee Fact or Myth?

[Peekabooo]

anyone who thinks pacman would last more than 5 seconds with bruce lee is a moron.... bruce lee is one of, if not the greatest physical specimen EVER!! His physique and functional strength for his size have and probably never will be paralleled. Its true that a tyson or lewis would knock him out comfortably if they hit him.... however imo theres no way either of them would do it, bruce had far too many weapons to deal with them.... bruce lee was the real deal and people should never look at sheer size to judge how a fight would play out.

He was the crossover for Martial arts..

Had it not been for him we may not have had the likes
of Jackie chan Jet li,steven segal etc..All those MuthaF****s

He fought so it would be accepted that western people could learn
Kung fu period as in those times it was only the asians that would keep
that art to themselves and wouldnt learn any other ****a...

Yeah but you can be in the most peek human physical shape and have all of the comabt knowledge in the world but not be able to carry it over into a real fight.

I'm a big fan of Lee and respect what he was and did with all my heart but the fact remains that there is little to no film of him fighting.

We can estimate but we can not clearly say for sure that he would beat a Pac man in a fight.

On the other hand 'based on his legend' in a street fight I myself would pick Lee over Pac any day of the week .
No telling

For those of you who are mad at me for starting this thread, I thought about that before I did it. Ive seen a few Bruce Lee threads on here but I had never read a single post from any of them so I dont know what peoples views are. I didnt want to bring it up again but I had to know for myself. It got me thinking because I was watching "Enter The Dragon" again. Why is that like the only Lee movie they show anymore? Im sick of seeing that.

Maybe u should have just read those threads!

The reason they show Enter the Dragon and not his other films is because it was a Hollywood film made for a big western audience.

My question to all those who say Lee was amazing is who did he fight? People criticize Joe Calzaghe or even Roy Jones for not really fighting any big names, yet it seems people dont use the same criteria with Bruce Lee. They rely on stories.
A fighter is only as good as the quality of his opponents.

The reason Lee is still so popular is because he is a 70's icon that popularized martial arts more so than anyone else in the west through his films. Thats really why he is so popular, yet no one can argue his massive influence on MMA.

bruce lee whooped BOLO ( from enter the dragon who looked like a heavyweight or close to ti) in 6 seconds..bruce lee introduced full contact sparring...bruce lee is the real deal

I thought John saxon "Roper" beat bolo? he bites him up the ass or something right? .........................

[Fighting Cougar]

And bruce lee killed Ohara I think. ..

[Fighting Cougar]

Oh no wait I think he did fight bolo and probably beat him lol my bad.lol.

[Fighting Cougar]

Oh and I do believe Bruce lee is fact. yup..

[DLT]

When he was talking about Bolo, he was talking about real life, not the movie. They said that Bolo actually challanged him because he didnt believe the hype and Lee destroyed him. Still, you know how all that goes

Didn't that Bolo guy act in one of Van Damme's films? He certainly looks the part.
