Mike Tyson VS Bruce Lee. No rules street fight. Who wins and how?

[IronDanHamza]

Why am I not surprised this ****** thinks Bruce Lee would beat Mike Tyson.

"Lee could kick a 150/200lbs heavy bag so hard it would swing up and hit the ceiling. Never seen Tyson hit a heavy bag that hard."

"Lee was also better conditioned, the guy would bicep curl 36kg dumbells, could do a seated v for 7 minutes 1 finger push ups."

Got to be a wind up.

[-Kev-]

Although I don't think size will be much of a factor, 5' 11" 200+ lb guy vs a 5' 7" 150lb dude doesn't matter to me, i've seen bigger guys get f-cked up by smaller guys all the time, because the smaller guy was tougher. It's just Mike Tyson's anger and street fighting experience that makes me pick him over Bruce Lee. Tyson was in real street fights and boxing matches, Bruce Lee's career was mostly choreography.

As far as size goes, I don't overthink that in street fighting because there's something about street fighting that often, size goes out the window for some reason. I have honestly seen with my own eyes, because the smaller guy is tougher and knows how to fight better, he wins. Maybe it is the surprise factor, because you are small, people do not think much of you so maybe you get them off guard when they see you are pretty tough and it kinda throws them off.

It is a fact It is a fact he never had a professional fighting career.

As for the article, how can the writer say "According to most sites with info on Lee state" what "Most websites" are these because I've never seen a single one.

Would be nice to hear from "Gary Elms" I wonder if he's still around to talk about it. Didn't even land a single punch apparently!

You never said "professional" fighting career. You said he "isn't (sic) a fighter." If you meant pro, then that's a fact. If you meant that he never fought, that is not a fact. It's an assumption you're making because Lee's record can't be found in the way most professional and amateur fighters' records are found nowadays. That does not disprove that Bruce had several street fights or amateur fights in Hong Kong.

I concur with the "show me" school of thought when it comes to collecting evidence, but you're completely discounting ample testimonial evidence that Bruce at least had some real fights in his life. That would make him a fighter, although not paid professional. I've seriously questioned Lee's legend myself, and I have questions about his actual fighting experience of my own, but I think it's probably safe to say he had some fights. It's certainly not a fact that he didn't fight. That is a fact.

Lee did amazing things, things that defied belief and what some might think not humanly possible.

Tyson would be fearful from the off Lee would be supremely confident.

Tyson throws a punch and seconds later his arm would be broken.

lean, small, fast guys are awful to fight, their punches are sharp as *** with their tiny ass fists

u

Tyson street fights were against little old ladies who he mugged for their social security money.

Lee faced skilled fighters of various disciplines.

Prime Mr. Fuji throws sand in their eyes and kills them both.

Lee wouldn't be throwing punches, he was a smart cookie and would fight to his advantages.

Why box a boxer?

Well a "fighter" to me is a person who fights professionally. I think it's unfair to call someone a "fighter" when there are world class professional who fight other world class professionals as a living.

That's what I consider a fighter. I don't consider "street fighting" to be fighting I don't even consider sparring to be fighting. If you're an Amateur fighter you're an amateur fighter if you're a professional fighter you are a professional fighter.

What ample evidence are we talking about? His known friends or colleagues saying that "Oh man Bruce was real good!"

Which professional fighters who fought professionally say Bruce Lee could fight? The only one I see is Chuck Norris and he was on a film with him. If there's more it's seldom. And since when is that evidence a guy can fight anyway? "Because he said so" that's not evidence to me.

These "Amateur fights" in Hong Kong are extremely suspect. No actual record of it other than word of mouth by again someone close to him and the guy he fought "Gary Elms" and alleged "3 year Boxing Champion" that no one has heard of before or since.

Either way the bottom line is comparing Bruce Lee to professional fighters and who would win is ludicrous. The idea of a guy who never had any professional fights being compared to greats that did is ridiculous to begin with.

i dont think lee would ever be as good as pacquiao

but if glen johnson can start boxing at 20(turn pro at 24) and do as he did i think lee could do alright for himself being the physical specimen that he is

there are alot of sht "athletes" in boxing, uncoordinated, slow, no snap to transfer force with, the average boxers are like this, guys that really shouldn't be boxing, no matter how much time they spend participating in the sport they wont ever be that good because they are just not natural athletes(sure we've all seen that guy dan cov posted up)

if you were to throw lee as he was in with the likes of say, billy dib, yea he will probabley lose, but he'd learn quick, his physicality alone i think wins him the majority against the club type level guys with just his little experience from street fights and the like, a little experience with some pro fights, good sparring and he'd transform quick, then he could make some noise against a billy dib like guy

even though i think the best he'd ever be(even if he took up boxing from a very young age) is a champ in a weak division

Who knows how well Lee would've done? His physical attributes seem to indicate he might've done well, but what if he had no chin? One thing I'm fairly confident in saying is that it's unlikely Bruce would've been on the Pacquiao level. Once we start making these hypothetical comparisons to the very best, I get very skeptical.
