I don't need to shoiw you one fight of Bruce. Just likje ray Charles don't need too see Lee fight. Yet ray Charles knoiknoiws Lee can fight just like he knows marylyn monroe, and sohiua loren are pretty.
Me and ray Charles knowing Lee can fight extremely well isn't dependant upon having to have seen Lee fight for ourselves. Of course wed love to see Lee. Wouldn't we all. if only for selfish reasons.Last edited by hugh grant; 01-02-2017, 04:36 PM.

Wikipaedia has a reputation, and like any business that reputation will persist irregardless of what happens internally.

Now you are tightening things up and all of the sudden we should take your word at face value and treat Wiki as the peer of peer reviewed articles for example? Don't be naive. Like bleacher report (which also tries to legitimize itself, Wiki will remain largely a laughing stock when measured to actual citable content. You aren't just going to erase memory and anectodal evidence of its inaccuracy since its inception.
I love how you feel the need to mention what you and your girlfriend do as if that adds validity to this statement.
I don't, and I won't. I read wiki all the time, as a quick reference for interesting topics but I wouldn't dream of citing it with any confidence or authority.
Peer review is way past wiki epistemology. But there is regulation, social regulation. I like that idea. People are pressured socially to be accurate. I would not put that in the same category as peer review. I respect your posts but really disagree about Wiki. We need people in the internet to take some responsability for knowledge content, the standards for Wiki are, in a sense a reflection of the community which uses it.

Do you think that in medicine, anyone would cite from e.g. articles in the well respected) Encyclopedia Britannica? Of course not. Does that mean Encyclopedia Britannica is rubbish? Of course not. Does that mean that articles in the Encyclopedia Britannica are inacurrate? Of course not. But, like any encyclopedia, it lacks the level of detail found in scientific journals.Last edited by Dolor; 01-02-2017, 04:42 PM.

Yoiu are soun ding quite bitter now. Its one thing being envious of pac, as many think PACs greater than Floyd. But you trying to deny Lee, who isn't even in direct competition to Floyd is quite disturbing. You seem quite ruthless and clinical. There's no need to soiund so bitter. Bruce will inspire the next generation so don't be so harsh on Bruce.Last edited by hugh grant; 01-02-2017, 04:54 PM.

Originally posted by bigdramashow View Postim no expert but i watch a lot of MMA for a number of years. I dont see people doing the ****ing kung fu crane stance in the octagon. When they stand up they throw proper punches and kicks. Usually boxing style or muay thai. Then they usually wrestle or BJJ on the ground. Traditional martial arts is a load of dog **** for the most part, thought ufc would have proved that beyond doubt but obviously not. Dont see much aikido, taekwondo, karate, kung fu in there. Someone can do all that drunken master stuff as much as they want but if a big guy grabbed them by the scruff of the neck and clouted them then they are in trouble. Seen blackbelt karate guys look lost in a proper fight. As i said if its bjj or something like that its a whole different story...
1) What art specializes and teaches foot stomping?
2) What art teaches a knee to the chest front kick?
3) What art teaches chain punches to set up a clinch?
In all these examples, there are arts with techniques mentioned above, but most MA fighters are coached to do these things because it makes them succesful in the ring. There are many more of these things, like raising the leg up to knee someone...not a Thai kick, but picking the leg up like a horse and driving it into the opponent. Where does it come from?
Guys develop techniques for the circumstance they are in, the setting. They modify boxing, wrestling and any art that allows them to be succesful in that setting and guess what? The same elbow strike does not work the same way for the prison guard who is standing between the exit and a mean m****er, and Conner!
People lose fights because of the way they train, period. If I train you in no contact boxing, light groundwork with no resistance, and I train your brother in a black fighting club (especially as the only white boy like I was at the time lol) who kick him around the room until he can kick back...guess who will fight better? In my club it was in a really bad area, Riley Hawkins students all had to be able to fight so my teacher was able to provide full resistance...so we could fight.
Some arts are useless as well, but thats a separate issue.

The people that did see Lee fight, especially from Oakland (not so much those fragerts from Seattle and Hong Kong) were fighters...bikers, karateka who fought each other, weapons guys, etc. These guys do not, as a rule, vouch for slim built Chinese guys with funny accents. As a matter of fact, quite a few of the guys vouching for Lee stomped guys into the curb who claimed they could fight. That is the way it was done in those days, ask Dante in chicago when he lost his friend in a dojo war.
Also, and totally unrelated, the Chinese hated Lee and sent legitmate old school fighters to take him out. He beat these guys, it is why they poisoned him actually.
Think back to Lee's days and ask yourself this question...who else in the martial arts was claiming to be a badass? guess what? most of the guys claiming so were fighters of one sort or another, because they were tested. You don't even hear of Jackie Chan and guys like that because in those days if you made a claim you had to back it up.
