Could Bruce Lee have become a great boxer? Mayweather says he's fake.

Show me a record of Bruce Lee's. He's a world famous celebrity somebody must have some record if he actually fought like you claim. Go find a pic of an asian guy fighting that actually looks like him. It'd be better than nothing.

Why would anyone need to show you a fight record? You don't need a record to be able to fight. There are tons of testimonies of how great Lee could fight.
Ray Charles knows Lee can fight. He doesn't ask for Lee's fight record.
he just listens to testimonies of how Lee dealt with everyone with ease

There's a reason why Bruce Lee wasn't one of those tournament darlings in the point fighting.



Just go see how point fighting tournament darling raymon daniels got ko'd by a muay thai guy in kickboxing.

He said Lee was a boxer and won tournaments.

SMH......I can't believe the crap I read here sometimes. Bruce Lee would absolutely kill Floyd, really actually leave him dead after a legit street fight.

Two finger pushups:

Six Inch Punch:



LMAO, he'd break Floyd in half man. What kind of gloves would he require Lee to wear, 10 lb pillows?

in a boxing match I don't think lee wins nothing wrong with think a boxer like Floyd can beat him in a boxing match

[bigjavi973]

man these people in here have no clue when it comes to martial arts.

Boxing IS a pugilistic martial art.

You have to respect that.


Besides that... Bruce lee does have experience in actual fights etc.....



"Bruce was much more interested in studying martial arts, dancing (at age 18 in 1958, he won the Hong Kong Cha Cha Championship), and girls than in school work. His defiant attitude towards La Salle's teachers and administrators, his mediocre grades, and his reputation as a fighter and troublemaker led to his expulsion from La Salle.
He enrolled at St Francis Xavier where a teacher encouraged him to enter the inter-school boxing championships. He went through the elimination rounds easily, then faced the three-time champion Gary Elms from the rival British King George V High School. Bruce won by knock out in the third round.
In 1958, after a challenge to the Wing Chun students from Choy Li Fut, a rival martial arts school, a fight was arranged on a rooftop. There were many such rivalries in Hong Kong -- the winner was whoever could force their opponent over a line. In response to an unfair punch, Bruce lashed out and beat the other boy badly, knocking out his tooth. This boy's parents made a complaint to the police, and Bruce's mother had to go down to the police station and sign a form saying she would take full responsibility for Bruce's actions if they released him to her custody. Not mentioning the incident to her husband, she suggested that Bruce should exercise his American citizenship rights and return to his birthplace. Despairing of Bruce's college prospects, his father agreed."

Here's a vid of lee sparring with gear:


Here's a vid of someone describing how he was:

I wonder why this is getting ignored?

You constantly expose your misunderstanding of what he is training. The form on his back kick is excellent and keeping in mind his size, the amount of force he is generating is considerable. BTW try doing this kick with no leaping movement!

many martial artists (yours truly included) do sessions to build cardio where punches are thrown as in that fashion. Its to train wind, force dynamics and persistence. It is not for accuracy, nor necessarily for punching power, though you want to move the bag backwards.

Do you know how ****** it would be to hit the heavy bag with speed dynamics? So of course he is not trying to be explosive with his hand techniques. Watch how many people fail at hitting things hard when training technique and you might see what Lee was up to in his form, in moving the bag back with the force and turn of his hip at the last second...which is why its a modified back kick and not really a side kick for anyone interested....Interesting aside, along with the roundhouse kick this kick is not used in the Chinese boxing styles much...Lee used it because it is a force generator.

Lee also trained in snapping whip kicks when he did the French Savate. Different effect but great kicks as well. Lee made those kicks part of his approach in Jeet Kun do Theory. (The Tao of Jeet Kune Do). Also used grappling taught to him by Gene Le Bell.

Right here! in the same series of vids where you picked the wrong one to highlight the wrong skill sets, thank me later

There are sequences where Bruce Lee is too fast for the camera on this tape like Isaac meant, right isaac?

[Vadrigar.]

Too fast for the camera though.

Pacquaio that you?

I'm not the narrow minded, pig headed, stubborn pr1ck that can't be told anything.

I'm all for different oinions, but when you know nothing about a subject and are not willing to learn, accept, alter your view, that's the time to give up.


He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool; avoid him.
He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a student; teach him.
He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep; wake him.
He who knows and knows that he knows is a wise man; follow him.


That's you in the first sentence of the quote.


I wonder if you come up with a half intelligent reply, or go the easy way out with a few pictures again..
