Wake up into reality
Are you fuqing kidding me ? MMA isn't real world fighting pal it's designed to work in the ring .Bruce lee wasn't a ring fighter we will never know what would of happened his fighting style JKD is sound self defense real world based fighting just because someone can fight in the ring doesn't mean they could do it outside the ring where there is no restrictions or rules .Most of the mma guys have never been a real fight in their lives thats why they go to mma .It's not practical and its sure as hell not the end all be all either .It's not even a legit fighting style its just a random hodge podge of other styles to suit a competition sport get off that mma cock .
Humankind cannot bear very much reality -

Hey kidjay! I'm not trying to argue with you or disrespect you. But I must disagree with your statement about MMA.While you are CORRECT there are NO rules in a street fight. Any "X factor" can change the course of a fight. The surprise introduction of a firearm, multiple opponents, etc. Adding to that the fact that most street fights are usually quick and brutal, and are over before they begin. Speaking from experience I would say the MMA practitioner would have a slight edge. This is basically what Bruce was trying to prove. JKD was/is PRACTICAL compared to more traditional styles. When I was younger I used to get bullied a lot. So I joined the wrestling team. I learned folk style and greco-roman. I also learned to box. Those two disciplines were PRACTICAL and helped me to be able to defend myself to the best of my abilities. A right crossto a double legand a little ground and pound. Straight to the pointno flowery stuff. Peace

Bruce Lee is not a midget, Bruce Lee was the best martial artist in the world, A simple boxer cannot beat a martial arts master..
What the EFF are you talking about? BOXING is martial art. Bruce Lee never competed on the same level as someone like Tyson did. He was 5'7" and 135 pounds, and you think he could defeat a 200 plus pound heavyweight who was exceptionally strong and was fighting and defeating guys 6'4-6'6"????? -

Boxing is not simple. And that's because it is SIMPLE. Only another boxer knows what I'm talking about. But I can't take anything away from Bruce. He had a great deal of respect for boxing and boxers. You can see that in JKD

Bruce Lee was the best martial artist in the world
What proof do you have to back up that claim? For some reason kids grow up thinking Bruce Lee was the greatest only because they have been conditioned by hearsay. Mike Tyson was a killing machine and the proof is well documented on video. Bruce Lee was a teacher who created some great philosophical quotes, not a fighter. Reminds of the mystique behind Rickson Gracie, who if you have watched his fights is very sluggish and easily to gas out. Both are equally overrated only Lee doesn't have any substantial proof to back up the claim he was great or even good. Some videos on Youtube showing his speed means nothing. Even an old out of shape Tyson would make easy work of him. This farce that 'Bruce Lee was the greatest' is ridiculous. He was influential, but nowhere near the greatest. He was a slight step above a regular street fighter but I have yet to see anything that made him good that a seasoned boxer or MMA fighter couldn't easily contend with. -

Sorry, but you really do not know what you are talking about. Mr. Lee was an excellent martial artist but he never won a bout in competition. He introduced lead side fighting and the cross-over side kick to many American karate fighters in his heyday but just because he had something interesting does not mean he was the best. People like Joe Lewis who fought as a heavyweight would have far2000ed quite well against Mr. Lee in a real fight. Mr. Lewis actually took some lessons from Mr. Lee but then that is not unusual if you intend to get to the top. You learn what you can where you can.
The article is about Mike Tyson and while he was a formidable fighter, he was by no means the baddest mamma jamma in the ring. Rocky Marciano retired from professional boxing undefeated with a record of 49-0. His knockout percentage was 87.75%. Mike Tyson had a 75% knockout percentage. It was said that Marciano did not care where he hit you. If you put your arms up to cover your face and body he would just hit your arms so hard that by the 2nd round you could no longer hold them up. I don't know who is the baddest boxer because boxing changes over time. The best of the 1900's might have fared quite well if they had been brought up in 2010. -

People need to stop acting as if Bruce Lee was invincible.Bruce Lee was just a human,nomore no less.Therefore he could be defeated just like all the other humans on the planet!

Mike Tyson is a boxer, he is a sportman and not a real fighter, he is trained to fight in the Ring.. yes in a ring, Tyson could defeate bruce lee but in a street fight, bruce lee would murder Tyson. Tyson is dumb and not as fast as bruce lee at the end. Plus bruce can kick hard.

Don't put words in a dead man's mouth, it makes you look like a beep lee was a fast beep no way Tyson would keep up with him. He'd faint of exhaustion, trying to punch him!
RIP Rik Mayall, you utter bastard! Your fans deeply miss you.
