Squirrel Girl Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Well, Bruce Lee in his prime was between 1968-72... That's where he was at his best... Chuck Norris has even confirmed... I might add... in another interview where he states Bruce Lee is the master of the two... Well, Bruce Lee's kicks and punches was so fast you couldn't see them. You cant really block something you cant see. Bruce Lee is by far the superior when it comes to speed. He does punch and kicks harder than Tyson as well. Match-up: Speed: Tyson < Lee Strength: Tyson < Lee Technique: Tyson < Lee These are essentially the three deciding factors that decides the winner. And all three goes to Lee. There are not much footage of Lee, but the truth of the matter is, the movies actually shows quite ALOT of his capabilities. There are things in the movie most people miss (even people with an extremely high knowledge of MA). I missed ALOT of it. Was shown by a friend who have trained MA his entire life the things you miss if you dont look for those things, specifically, and he even missed it the first few times he watched. He did things so fast you wasn't even able to see it. The creator of Enter the Dragon even said they had to show the footage in slowmo to even be able to see his kicks and punches, and then they was faster than most peoples. He trained with special made bags weighing over 300 pounds. His punches have been harder than Tyson's (the one-inch punch) and a couple other punches as well. Plus, he has alot of other attributes that could come in handy in a fight. /TheMadTitan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Speed: Tyson < Lee Okay. Fair enough. Strength: Tyson < Lee Sorry, but this is bullshit. Lee was strong, yes, but Tyson was stronger. Technique: Tyson < Lee Considering how different the martial arts the two practiced, this really isn't comparable.

宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 In an officially sanctioned bout, say, in an alternate universe where both men is in their prime when UFC is around, Bruce Lee wins easily. Why? Boxing style isn't favorable in MMA compared to martial arts that incorporate kicking, such as Lee's Jeet Kune Do, because boxers don't tend to guard their lower area as much, which Lee can definitely capitalize on. In a street fight? Depends on if Tyson can get a sucker punch in. If he does, he might just be able to haze Lee enough to beat him. tl;dr: Tyson is fucked because he does boxing. Of course, we all know who can beat both of these men in their prime: Brock Lesnar. Well, unless he gets punched in the diverticulitis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel Girl Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Strength, yes Lee beats Tyson. Not in physical strength. Tyson wins hands down there. However, Lee punched as hard if not harder than Tyson. Now technique, yes Lee has the advantage, since he fought all kinds of styles, more so than what Tyson has. Speed we can all agree Lee wins by a landslide. In a boxing ring, with boxing rules, I would say Tyson has the slight advantage but that fight can go either way in a slight favor to Tyson. In a street fight, or MMA, I would say Lee has the clear advantage. Bruce trained with Chuck Norris every day while they were both in california, and Chuck was truly impressed by how good Lee was. Anyway, Lee has the slight advantage over Tyson. Boxing: 6/10 I would say goes to Tyson All goes fight: 9.5/10 times goes to Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Okay I have to say, 9/10 times boxing would go to Tyson. Trust me, boxing is a whole other thing in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Let's be honest. Boxing rules, Lee literally stands no chance against Tyson. His one-inch punch was cool, yea, but really, it was a party trick, and to bring it up in serious discussion is ridiculous. One of Lee's punches might stifle Tyson. One of Tyson's punches would floor Lee. Outside of boxing, Lee's chances increase significantly, because Lee is more used to a fighting style in which strikes toward the legs are allowed, which Tyson is not immediately prepared to face. I voted for lee because of my second bit I just said, but acting like he is some god simply makes one look foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel Girl Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hahahaha, Lee is no slouch in the boxing genre. He has trained Boxing as well as other forms of western style fighting. And his punches is as deadly. Though since Tyson does have more experience, he should have the advantage. May give him 7/10 and now I am being generous. BTW, I did not meant to make him look like some sort of superhuman. He has his faults, as all have, but he is still seen as the greatest Martial Artist. And I didn't even say that Lee hits much harder then Tyson, I say equal if not slightly more so. And yes, one-inch punch can be used in a fight. Dont really know how it will work against Tyson. For the record, Lee would be able to tank hits from Tyson. Why you underestimate his durability. Lets put it like this: Tyson = The Hulk Lee = Thanos Thanos beats every version of Hulk. Now for you who dont know who Thanos or the Hulk is, 2 of the toughest characters ever in a comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 He did things so fast you wasn't even able to see it. The creator of Enter the Dragon even said they had to show the footage in slowmo to even be able to see his kicks and punches, and then they was faster than most peoples. This speed is not exclusive to Bruce Lee, nor is Bruce Lee the standard when it comes to speed (as he lost in a contest of speed to Vic Moore, as is to be expected as Vic Moore went on to become world champion.) Creating movies does not make a person an authority on the standards of speed in martial arts, and even then that isn't what was said. "Most people" have little involvement with martial arts whatsoever and can be expected to be significantly slower than competing martial artists. Hahahaha, Lee is no slouch in the boxing genre. He has trained Boxing as well as other forms of western style fighting. There is only so much time and energy that one can commit to a discipline. Mike Tyson invested so much of his time and energy into boxing that he became the world's superlative boxer. Bruce Lee's focus was not boxing, Bruce Lee cannot simultaneously be the greatest martial artist in general, the greatest specialized boxer, and a movie star, and to suggest that he could is an insult to the greatest general martial artists and specialized boxers. Mike Tyson and Bruce Lee are not in the same weight class. Many great boxers who dedicated their lives to the sport and were by no means "slouches" who were of the same weight class as Mike Tyson were promptly knocked out horribly, I see very little reason to believe this wouldn't be Bruce Lee's fate in a boxing match between the two. That's not the question, the question is who would win in a fight no holds barred, but it's an absurd underestimation of Tyson's abilities to suppose that Lee stands on equal ground as a boxer. BTW, I did not meant to make him look like some sort of superhuman. He has his faults, as all have, but he is still seen as the greatest Martial Artist. By whom, exactly? And if they have neither the authority nor facts to back their claims up, why should their perspective be taken as gospel? Lets put it like this: Tyson = The Hulk Lee = Thanos Thanos beats every version of Hulk. It's significant that your analogy involves fictional characters, it goes to show what makes an impression on you and informs your perspective. Now for you who dont know who Thanos or the Hulk is, 2 of the toughest characters ever in a comic. That's nice dear, the realities of fighting remain profoundly unaffected.

Shradow Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I missed that part, you consider Lee the greatest martial artist? Now that's a bit of a exaggeration, even in his own time, let alone now. Dude was great, a pioneer and one of the best but I think you might be just a wee bit biased. It's sounding more and more like you're another guy blinded by the mysticisms and legends about him. You're literally comparing him to the God-like fictional figure of Thanos. For example, despite being the father of it, put Bruce Lee against any modern MMA fighter in the same weight class who's worth their salt and they'll probably beat him.
