    The people bashing Lee simply just know him from his movies.
    He was a true Martial Artist and basically devoted his entire life to it. If it weren't for him there'd be no MMA at all.

    Also keep in mind that Bruce Lee wasn't just a "Kung Fu" artist. He was actually against just learning one style of fighting, hence why he was challenged by the Kung Fu schools in San Fransisco. He learned Western Boxing, Ju Jitsu, Wrestling, Aikido, etc. The Grand Master of Tae Kwon Do at the time (Jhoon Rhee) stated in an interview about Lee asking him to teach him kicks (considering at the time Lee's philosophy was never to kick over the waist). He said in 3 days he mastered kicks that took normal students months even years to perfect. The dude was naturally gifted.

    As far as Bruce fighting in real life, ask your man Bolo (Bloodsport) what happened to him when he tested Lee on the set of Enter the Dragon. Bob Wall (the white dude Lee ****s up) states there were a **** load of guys testing him on a daily basis, and one day Bolo confronted him about fighting with Lee ignoring him until Bolo made a move and catapulted Lee to arm lock and knee trap him against a wall as Bruce punched the back of Bolo's head numerous times (and keep in mind Bruce was 130lbs to Bolo's 220lbs).

    Now Boxing wise, if he dedicated himself to boxing I can't see how he wouldn't be successful. He trained in Western boxing and was an avid fan of Muhammed Ali (and you can see some of the characteristics in some of his movies against Chuck Norris & Bob Wall).

    Lee = Greatest Fighter of Our Time hands down.

      98% more like 65%. Does anyone validate these articles on Wikipedia? Right now, I can change the article about Bruce Lee and add this 11 fight that he won by 1 second KO by this famous one inch punch.

            Bruce Lee had many street fights. Mike Tyson isn’t allowed to use his right hand, because he is a professional boxer and would kill people with his hand. One punch.

              VS

              Hands down Tyson weight and power. Tyson will be able to take Lee hits. Tyson fights without Gloves, It will be classed as homicide.

                That's irrelevant. Mike was a walking time bomb and he had an incident with that kid who taunted him. If it would've happened to any other fighter with Mike's fame the same would've happened...and being a boxer doesn't automatically mean you're gonna kill somebody with one punch. LOL..you're really reachin', but the statements are entertaining so keep em coming.

                    Mike Tyson bareknckle would be able to kill Lee. A prime Tyson would. Bruce Lee, How is he the greatest fighter when he had only 10 fights and one was a draw. Never fought a top fighter never fought a great fighter. No one has footage of him in the street fight. Don’t think Lee will be able to grapple Tyson. That just plain ******. Tyson can break his bones and would cause brain damage, yet worst death if they fought.

                      Bruce was a genius of range and there is no way Tyson would be cornering Bruce. Bruce party trick was to ask boxers to try and punch him. Noone could.

                      And never trust Wikipedia. The fact that you can say Wong drew with Bruce Lee is laughable. I read once on Wikipedia that people fabricate the outcome of the Wong and Lee fight because there are people desperate for Lee to have a loss on his record. Very next day it is changed back to a debated outcome.

                      Bottom line is Wong turned up to challenge Lee with rules and regulations. When he realized how vicious Lee was he turned and ran because he knew what was good for him. Then claims he won. Who wouldnt want to be the one who gave Lee his only loss. If Lee beat me in 2 seconds i would claim i beat Lee if i could get away with it.
