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

Bruce Lee would have been a great boxer

he was gifted with handspeed and athleticism, and was an extreme gym rat. the guy was in better shape than many pro fighters

too bad he went for the movie career, he could have given China its first boxing champ.

now they have to settle with Zou Shimming

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.

Your excuse is Bruce Lee was training his technique when hitting the bag? What technique would that be? The i haven't got a ****ing clue how to punch so just hammer the bag technique? GTFOH moron.

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xwrjnmu-IE

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

Too fast for the camera? Where?

you don't know that.

the was guy was gifted with speed and power

he also was extremely disciplined and dedicated to his craft

an extreme gym rat who was always looking to improve his physique and his martial arts skills

If he had applied all this to boxing, I think he would have been very succesful... unless he was hiding a disgraceful glass jaw

Gifted speed and power ....that is carefully choreographed.

Tons of **** fighters are gym ****...that doesn't make them successful.

If Bruce Lee could have...he would have.

Don't give them any ideas.

Bruce makes Larry look like Joe Louis on that bag.

He'd get his ass beat down by Floyd in the ring and out of it.

Bruce Lee was not a boxer or fighter....and did not have defense or PUNCH RESISTANCE.
