If Bruce Lee was a boxer.....

[New England]

floyd is not a born fighter. floyd finds the easiest way out. that's not a fighter. he's a great boxer tho. now im not knocking on floyd's success or skills. im just trying to explain to you what a real fighter is imo.

i don't give a **** about your opinion, it couldn't be more misguided or dumb. yout hink an actor was a born fighter for some reason, while you think floyd mayweather, literally the son of a contender and a dude who fought ray leonard, is not.

so why are these posters saying bruce has no shot in boxing, but then turns around and say floyd will do well in the ufc???

Well, Floyd has proven HE IS A GREAT BOXER.
Lee proved nothing but he was great as an actor .
Huge Bruce Lee fan here but, not a Leetard.
Watch the video of him hitting the bag.
He was pushing his fists .

boxing is far from mma.

if floyd fans is making claim that he'll do well in mma/ufc, then why is it so hard to believe that bruce will do well in boxing? now nobody is saying bruce lee is gonna beat everyone out there.

Maybe he could beat McGregor in boxing

Dude, go watch the video of Lee hitting the bag .
His left leg was also shorter than his right leg.
And I don't care how good you are , you will get hit.
Was Lee built for punishment ? You can't argue he was .

I don't think Floyd would be all that great in MMA. His hands are brittle .


But, Lee would have done a lot worse in boxing .
Lee was not a world class athlete . He was a conceptual martial artist and had one boxing match in his life .

bruce already has the fighting mentality. so with some training in boxing, he'll be ok.

and for the bolded part --

i cant prove that, what i can say is that, if you watch some of his training clips, he is always putting his body in some type of pain. doing crazy stretch for long period of time, etc. so basing off this, i would have no doubt that he can take punishment and pain.

if you look at his training, its not light work. he's always trying to push himself. this is not the mindset of a person who is afraid to take punishment.

Well, anyone can have some boxing proficiency if you train them.
But, most of the GREATS started young .
Really young.

This hypothetical questions become more of an argument over hypothesis than logic .

Let's put it this way, he abandoned Wing Chun b.c it FAILED HIM. So, he trained in striking a lot more after that .
But, he was still nowhere near a good AMATEUR boxer's hitting skills .
He led with his right hand even though he was a righty.
His left hand was very undeveloped .
