Could Bruce Lee beat a Professional Boxer?

[Masters01]

Wow. I thought Bruce Lee was universally considered one of the greatest fighters ever. I tell you what I would never beat against him.

U saw what he did to Chuck Norris

That was a movie, but Chuck always says that Bruce would have been an elite professional fighter if he decided to be. But then again, what would Chuck know about fighting eh?

Unfortunately he is far from the only halfwit regarding MMA.

One can only keep trying to disabuse people of this troubling notion but maybe they have a point, maybe fights really happen like this:

I was at the pub and two fiery fellows decided to have a go...they were full of drink and angry, you could see them looking for something to hit each other with...SUDDENLY the fight angels came, dressed in white they arrived quickly and started to go to work: "no no mate, (the pool cues are put back on the all rack), first off, empty your pockets....(all knives are removed), ok put these on (small boxing gloves are given to each man)." The Angels move the guys to the center of the bar, away from glass, chairs, etc..."so boys anything goes (both guys look at their gloved hands) except....(the angels give a list of prohibited techniques... and finally when one of you gets the uper hand we will break it up before any kicks to the downed man' s head are thrown.... and of course we will not let your cousin, your best friend etc jump in and beat down the loser."

and so it goes another real fight, just like the real fight that happen in MMA occurs in a bar somewhere in a town someplace.

These guys are probably from sherdog and decided to come to nsb to troll boxing fans.

Yep, we've been trolling you this whole time via intelligent argument and modernity, meanwhile you've been trolling us back via barren attempts at wit and b*tchin' - the typical dynamic between fight fans and boxing fans

bruce lee is cool for tv and all but all this talk about him really being able to fight is for nerds man. same folks who debate magic v jordan but never really watched the games. alll this talk and no fights. smh

They are the baddest men on the planet. They actually fight lol. They dnt say 'ok lets fight, but youre not allowed to use your legs, and you cant grab me. you can only punch me but you must only punch me above the belt and not behind the head. and if you knock me down, you have to give me 10 seconds to recover.'

In MMA, minus eye gouging and groin shots, its actual real fighting.

You are a dimwit, you are not allowed to punch to the back of the head in mma either.

You cant headbutt, break fingers, bite, several strikes are illegal whilst your opponent is on the ground, etc, etc.

As you can see there are many rules in mma as well, which means that it isnt real street fighting.

Actually I proved in my post above that you quite clearly dont even know the rules to your most beloved sport.

You got burnt so bad you couldnt even reply

If Bruce started young and learned to box he might have been great. But the karate expert turned actor would not fair as well.

Are you talking about chuck or bruce lol.

Rephrase the question: How bad would Bruce Lee beat a Pro boxer?

Of course styles make fights and all and someone like GGG might catch him and put him out, but it also comes to tools. Lee would obviously have more and I doubt would get hit with a punch flush. Still a boxer always has a puncher's chance especially with no gloves.

What does Chuck Norris know about fighting? What does fighting know about Chuck Norris? Chuck Norris taught fighting all that it knows.

obiously, there are some terrible boxers out there
