wing chun vs boxing - why boxers are dangerous for wing chun

[ThePunchingBag]

I've had (otherwise) smart people ask me "do you think a Tyson or a "bones" Jones could take Bruce Lee in a fight?".

I would try to explain to them that Bruce Lee was (for all intents and purposes) just an actor and had never accomplished anything as a professional fighter ... And Jones and Tyson were (almost literally) twice his size and would crush him. I'd even pull up quotes from Lee himself regarding a (potential) fight between him and Ali ...

None of that was enough to sway them. A lot of people believe in the "one inch punch" "the five finger death ... Whatever" and the fact that Bruce Lee "split a heavy bag in half with a single kick"... Crazy ****...

Bruce Lee would win a real fight and lose in the ring. He was first and foremost a martial artist and an actor second. He had plenty of HK street fights, but no ring record.

It's not crazy at all to think that he is simply too smart and fast for a Tyson or Jones to handle in a situation where anything goes.

Bruce could devastate predictable fighters by using the "dirty" techniques people who fight with referees present aren't used to.

Even in a real fight Bruce would not win. There is just too much BS surrounding Bruce Lee. There is no way a 135lbs man is beating either Tyson and Jones. I'm sure Bruce would have had street fights but it definitely wasn't against guys like Tyson.

boxing vs wrestling vs bjj is kind of a fun debate

boxing vs wing chun isn't very interesting because wing chun isn't real

but I've noticed some people on this website are years behind the curve when it comes to "that **** isn't real"

Wrestling is real.

I've been in a few street fights defending myself and my only fear when fighting is that I'll run into a wrestler or a grappler. I have no idea how to fight those guys off.
