Bruce Lee the Unbeatable

[MindBat]

People in the west need to see some kind of belt or trophy to prove how good somebody is at martial arts. If someone crosses hands with a traditional martial artist they will know the difference.

Belts and trophies are overrated. They still award black belts to children, for crying out loud. Not saying belts and trophies are worthless, though. They do serve a purpose.

Traditional martial artists may handle themselves well against inexperienced fighters and those trained in the same art, but it all depends on the individual, the environment and surroundings, not to mention the agreed upon 'rules' of the fight, if any, that determines their success or failure.

...Any Boxer/Modern MMA fighter would beat the Living **** out of Lee.

Many disagree with that statement. We'll never know for sure.

But had Bruce been alive and in his prime, it wouldn't be unreasonable to say that he would've handled himself quite well against boxers and MMA fighters.

It is well known that he is the king of martial arts movies and most influential
in popularizing the arts in the states.

Even the Gracies themselves have nothing but praise for Bruce.

Well all those factors contribute but what my point is, is that traditional martial arts is not aimed towards competition, rules and fairness.

Even Chuck Norris said Bruce would beat him in a fight.

Any Boxer/Modern MMA fighter would beat the Living **** out of Lee.

he would be a featherweight or Super feather btw guys so don't be giving the Wlad/kessler Bollox, they would KO1 Pac too.

No use speculating about a thing like that before the facts are in. But, it is a fact that Bruce Lee whipped seven foot tall Kareem Abdul Jabber in that movie. Now that's called getting around a reach advantage. And, don't be giving me the "special effects" crap. They didn't even have special effects back then.
