Who would you take, bruce lee vs. Tyson

[ron davis]

This is the sort of match I'd pay to see. Who do you think would win, and how would it end?

Bruce Lee weighs in at 135

Tyson 190 thereabouts

boxing... Tyson
anything else... probably Lee

next-level speed/reflexes/skills/instinct

This is a ridiculous question.

Bruce Lee spent most of his life training Wing Chun, which just plain doesn't work in a real fight. Prior to that, his only practical martial arts experience was a single high school boxing match.

There is zero video footage of Bruce Lee in a real fight. He was a theoretical martial artist, not a practical one. He eventually started to incorporate stuff from boxing, Judo, Karate, wrestling, etc into his fighting style later dubbed Jeet Kune Do, but without practical sparring and actual fights there is absolutely zero reason to believe Lee could handle a professional fighter.

Mike Tyson would absolutely demolish Bruce Lee.

Any decent pro boxer, MMA fighter, or kickboxer his size or larger would wreck Bruce. He was a smart guy, a gifted athlete, and an awesome actor but none of that means he was a fighter. The legend surrounding him does him a disservice.

I'm a big Bruce Lee fan, but I don't think he necessarily had the defensive technique against a heavy-handed boxer, especially the head movement, the avoid punches with the speed that a prime Tyson could throw. And his chin - he wasn't sparring for those types of shots, so it's impossible to say exactly how he'd absorb them, but the prognosis isn't good. Again, saying this all with huge respect for Lee.

Also, why is Tyson weighing in at 190 lbs when he never fought below 200?

Tyson would kick his ass back to Wuhan

Tyson would of sent his little a55 to the shadow realm in a split second in the ring, streets, a phonebox or anywhere else for that matter.

Boxing History or Fantasy Fight?

Bruce Lee was 135? ****, I been cutting him down by 15 pounds for over a decade now. I thought that mug was a 120.

Anyway, does Bruce Lee have a sword or some such similar? I don't think the chucks or big stick can save him in this one, and, he best not to kick high in any form, just don't even think about getting into Mike's range at all actually.

Bruce Lee with like a spear, sword, or some such similar lethal and distant weapon could win a fight against Mike, but that's about it....and Mike, he's crazy...he might take a cut and still eat your babies.

Come to think of it, Bruce, needs a lightsaber.

This Bruce:



beats Mike for sure.

Yeah, the only chucks that save Bruce from Tyson is Chuck Norris.

[ShoulderRoll]

Chuck Norris would get his ass handed to him by Tyson too.

As long as they aren't playing tag/point fighting.
