Bruce Lee isn't a god damn martials arts God you fuck nut morons
 

Im sick of people acting like Bruce Lee is the single greatest martial artist in the history of the entire world because he's fucking not. There are ancient Shaolin masters who's name are still legends that would fuck Bruce up. He's the best martial artist to ever transcend into movies and make asian martial arts big in the american mainstream. For what he did he's a pioneer and he was a great martial artist yes....

But when I go on youtube and read shit like Bruce Lee in his prime would kick Mike Tysons ass in his prime....

Like Bruce Lee didn't have a great ground game but he was an exceptional striker... And even if ground game was good he wouldn't be able to wrestle Mike Tyson down. That being said there is NO WAY even out of 100 fights that lil 150 pound Bruce Lee with his small chin that's never been tested before could out-strike a boxer like Mike Tyson... that's just absurd

and don't forget tyson was seasoned with experience in world class competition and bruce.... he never even did tournaments cuz he didn't agree with them

Come on you clowns... my dad in his prime would just get in close and clinch Bruce, toss him completely over his head and choke him out in a first round

He was great but he was fucking human too, get off that shit damn

People comparing Bruce Lee to Mike Tyson are fucking idiots...

...That's like saying Michael Jordan is better than Zidane...

Bruce Lee was a pioneer in his time I completely agree, as was Muhammed Ali, as was Pele.

Comparing people in the past to people now just makes me wanna watch Rocky VI.

Edit: If only Brandon Lee was alive and had an RV account...I'd love to hear a "my dads better than your dad" argument between you two :thumbup:...anyone got a ouiji board?

fuck, i dont even know, could you even get him on the ground? hes to quick in my opinion, if you did is there proof that he didnt know how to fight on the ground?
im honestly not sure?

and just for the record tyson in his prime would demolish ali in his prime.word,but thats not the discussion.

Yup, doubt Tyson would have gassed vs. a rope a dope like Foreman did

Bruce invented Jeet Kun Do which is a mixture of the best techniques from every single martial arts he studied in his life, there's several throws in that martial arts but not many submissions, takedown defence, or ground grappling. It's essentially a strikers martial arts with takedowns sometimes

That being said, Tyson in his prime at his size like that moved so quick, speed kills. Tyson would probably be almost as quick as Bruce even at 150, and with a granite chin in his prime. No way man, no fucking way.

Seriously imagine those 2 in prison in a cell together. Tyson would bend Bruce Lee over and fuck the shit out of him, Bruce would be his little bitch and pray to god every morning that Tyson isn't mad today or in the mood.

im not disagreeing with your statment that Tyson would win in a fight with Jet Li.

but...lets not forget, Tyson was fighting at at time when the heavyweight division was full of no bodies

yeah, if they fought they are about the same speed ive seen tyson training videos,
as well as him boxing, if both were in there prime, if tyson caught him with one, fight over,end of story..
and honestly just because some one is famous or known for fighting or a champion, there is always somebody tougher that probly isnt heard of..
shamrock in his prime got beat up by a logger that he picked a fight with at a bar and my grandpa ended up arresting him..
same thing happened to tito ortiz at some bar..
but as far as bruce lee being the toughest man to ever exist, no. granted he was a beast and would kick the shit out of me.but hes not the toughest man ever..
the only problem i would see for anyone fighting bruce lee is getting close enough or being fast enough to take him to the ground..

and also if bruce lee didnt really study how to fight on the ground, stupid on his part..
honestly i dont even train take down defense, thats where i want to fight.
and if your getting jumped just cheat..eye gouge, nuts, biting, improvised weapons,ect..

lets not forget that intimdation is a huge factor in fighting


like, if i saw bruce lee....i'd instantly assume that im getting my ass kicked...

intimidation....... honestly my trainer always told me that if someone is breaking into your house.that you will always have the advantage,with extra strength/ability, because your defending your wife,home,children ect..
not sure if it applys to a regular fight,but if its not the case, if you know your gonna get your ass kicked, your adrenaline will be pumpin twice as much if you know your gonna get your ass kicked, just make sure you use that to your advantage and make sure you know what your doing,(think)(practice with friends if u have to) cuz that plays a HUGE factor..
and if i met bruce lee and had to fight him, i would piss my pants and pray in gods name for a lucky take down.im just to damn slow..

uh... when someone has a gun no... you don't have the advantage anymore lmao

depends on the scenario.. in a house thats dark and you know your house, the gun doesnt mean shit..but in a open field with a scope on you,yeah your dead.and if your unarmed in the open and someone has a gun your dead..

so basically, GUN > YOUR FISTS

for the most part yeah..
