    This sounds like a joke.

    Ever seen one of those threads where someone rates a boxer highly, and then someone else says "who has he beat"? If only the boxer in question had beat up a stuntman, eh?

    Seriously, maybe Lee could've proven his greatness in a boxing or MMA ring, but he didn't. Yes, he was fast and hit hard, but the same is true of Zab 'chickendance' Judah. The difference is that Judah got tested and so we know how good he is and his limitations. Lee, on the other hand...

    Why are you so willing to give Lee the benefit of the doubt?

      Some people claim the Cleopatra was the most beautiful woman ever.

      Simple – because she was.
      You sound so ******. He was a good fighter, not great.

        Shows the talent must have been amazing.
        Billions of people blindly believe in men that they never met or saw or know for sure existed. People do it because of what they have heard of Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, Moses, Krishna etc.

        I guess they must be right.

          Simple - Because he was.
          How come everyone believed that the Sun revolved around the Earth?

          Simple - Because...no wait a minute...nevermind.

            Bruce Lee is the man. He pushed his body to extreme levels. Though he did not compete professionally, he could probably kick anyone's ass.

            He grew up in Hong Kong, having fought in many street fights.

              He never fought a profession fight but would kick anyone's ass. Does that even make sense. Street fights mean that his challenger weren’t not trained at all and where pretty much bums. If he fought a trained MMA or boxers, he would have his ass handed to him.

                What does that prove? As if only one of the best fighters ever could beat a random guy on an internet forum?

                Watch TV once in a while and you'll see that people are willing to do and say some really ****** things in front of a camera.

                I'm not saying that they were lying, but you seem to want it to be true so much that you accept it without really looking into it.

                Furthermore, if you want to be considered a top 10 fighter you have to beat someone who is top 20 at least. 90% of people on here would agree. Yet Bruce Lee gets a free pass.

                I like how you've turned that one around. As if a lack of evidence on your part is somehow a reason to criticise someone who disagrees with you. Nice.

                  Best fighter is ever of all time is Charlie Zelenoff. After that it might be Miyamoto Musashi.

                      bruce lee would ruin any boxer you care to mention in a street fight and it would be embarassing
