If Bruce Lee was a boxer.....

[OCPancho]

cool story bro. so people must be using it in fighting huh?

Nobody on UFC for sure .
One black dude in the early days of UFC did profess to use it . He was from Las Vegas . But, he wasn't a champion.


MMA has evolved today so much, it's light years ahead of people still stuck in conceptual martial arts .
If you are not free sparring and you just keep practicing all these numbered routines, you're probably clueless about real fighting.
And what is even more odd is, martial artists are terrible athletes .

an actor or a professional fighter, huh?

this one is tough.


the only time you've ever seen bruce lee in a fight was in the movies. that's just a fact.

I got a feeling that if you asked Floyd a tough question that would stop him in his tracks.

You know that Bruce was a martial artist as well.

His workout log/journal is also showed he was a very weak lifter .

Arguing Lee would have a become a boxing champ easily is a streeeeetch.

Did he perform weights after a 6 Mile run though and 5000 kicks and punches? And were the workouts form 1965 when he just started lifting?
He had tremendous strength fe ats so he could generate strength instantaneously when called upon.
No, arguing Lee would be a champ isn't a stretch of imagination. Most think he would

I’m sure if Bruce was actually good at real fighting footage of him fighting would exsist so to answer your question. And the op question I think he would be bum level or lower because instead of taking up fighting as a career he took up acting likely because he wasn’t good enough at fighting.

would

There's no mystery surrounding his fighting ability. It was great. People don't need to see Lee fight to conclude that

There's a lot of mystery over his fighting ability b/c he didn't fight anyone worth mentioning .
And in his most famous fight, he barely won against a waiter.

Stop making things up there is absolutely no mystery about his ability to fight. The idea that there is mystery surrounding his fighting abilities is a manufactured idea. Countless people have testified to how easy Lee beat them and how amazing he was beating people. That's why without exception any ufc champ will say Lee would be ufc champ if he wanted to be. Because they know what Lee did whilst alive and what he could do. The only mystery is If bruce actually would have been a champ if he did compete like everyone thinks he would. But then again people would bet their life on it.

Ok, I can understand if there is mystery about wjm fight because there are underground versions of that fight, but anyway that was when bruce was 24 before his he improved so much since then. So having trouble with w jm doesn't make Lee not great. Countless hold their hands up and confess they lost to Bruce, so its literally a smoking gun of evidence,even if WJM in 1965 didn't admit it.
Pro fighters vouch for bruce against anyone, any size. Skipper Mullins would pick Lee in any street situation and skipper fought heavyweights like joe lewis. Louis Delgado also fought heavyweights and said Lee was toughest guy he ever fought.
So there is no mystery. There's lots of things in life you haven't seen for yourself and there's no mystery. Bruce being able to fight exceedingly well is one of them.
He's got the greatest testimonies or hearsay of all time and your sitting their trying to convince yourself you r not sure if he can fight? Well nobody believed you in afraid.

I think he had the potential, seems to have very fast hands and feet for someone whos not actually a boxer.
It was his work ethic that set him apart and being a student of the art he was trying to learn

there's actual eye witness who was there with bruce and vouch that he's the real deal. even though there's no videos to prove it, there's MULTIPLE people vouching for him.

then we have "your" opinion on how bruce is fake and cant fight, etc. BUT you cant prove this either, its just your opinion so take this to court and what do you think is gonna happen? the judge is gonna favor the one who had multiple people vouching for it.

[bigjavi973]

Yeah, and the bag keeps getting heavier .

It was a kicking bag .
And what's the point ?
Joe himself said he never sparred with Bruce Lee in an interview .
And he never saw Bruce Lee spar .

hogwash he sparred with all of them

lewis still trying to sell his fighting systems in his old age

and wall stated a 300 lb bag not a 700 lb one

[_original_]

I remain agnostic on Bruce's fighting ability but it's a ludicrous scenario matching him up against proven champions in any combat sport. Too much fiction clouding our opinions.

Dude, you can have confessions , more confessions, and more confessions, the video evidence shows he was not a better striker than most amateurs.
Go ahead, show me a video of him hitting that 75 lbs bag and tell me that he was even good as an amateur dude punching the bag.

Stop making stuff up. There were no COUNTLESS of people confessing they lost to Bruce Lee because Lee did not fight much.
Joe said he didn't even see him spar .
