If Bruce Lee was a boxer.....

[OCPancho]

Oh look, round 400 of 130 lbs actor with zero credible wins in any martial art beats every fighter I don't like. He was an actor. People have kept records on horse bloodlines for 5,000 years, combat sport records from the 60s and 70s are very complete. Bruce Lee was about as legendary a fighter as Frank Dux.

Yup.
I love Bruce Lee and his movies. But, so many of his tards are just freaking clueless .
It doesn't really matter to me that he might have been an average fighter.
It doesn't diminish his accomplishments imo.
At the end of the day, he was A SMALL ASIAN with small wrists and skinny legs .
There is only so much he could have done physically.
And he wasted his youth on conceptual martial arts that are now proven to be ineffective .

why would he beat Floyd?

lee's not wearing ANY kind of hand protection. That's impressive

Looking at Bruce’s technique he would have got stopped at amateur level and then taken up badminton

[IronDanHamza]

Pretty reliable.
He won his only boxing match.

Bruce Lee physically was unbelievable so don't be silly.
He had incredible attributes so he's over half way there already. If someone like Anthony Joshua can take up boxing late and become champ bruce Lee would be a champ no problem.

Most people in earth would conclude that. It's possible that we could be wrong but that's not going to stop people thinking Lee would have gone far. But people would be shocked if Lee didn't fulfil the potential they placed upon him.

I think the OP is asking if bruce didn't dedicate his time to study martial arts but concentrated solely on boxing how far could he have gone. Nobody is asking you how good you think he looks on heavybag! Some claim Lee looks mightily impressive and some say he don't look like a boxer! That's neither here or there.
The world would put a lot of money on Lee doing very well and even elite.
But the world could be wrong but doubt it. If he didn't become champ a lot of people would literally be shocked. Even youd be surprised to say the least but wouldn't admit it

running miles and stamina is different than actual in ring stamina, but anyways this "no stamina" came from Lee himself. If you know about Bruce Lee (other than the basic stuff), you would've known that he spoke about his fight with Wong Jack Man and talked about feeling exhausted after their fight that he had to change up his training methods. Learn something about Bruce Lee before acting like you know the guy. I've actually met someone who used to spar with him.

he talked about how he didn't put him away fast enough.... yes I know

[bigjavi973]

i've read quite a bit about bruce lee, actually. i invite you to find me any footage of him fighting. do you think i have looked for it? the poster to which i replied was implyiing that he believed bruce lee to be a natural fighter [for whatever reason,] and that he didn't believe floyd mayweather, the son of a pro boxer, newphew of a two time world champion, a decorated amateur and olympian, and one of the best pro fighters of all time, was. you see what i call floyd mayweather a natural fighter, given all of his accomplishments and his background in fighting, correct?


so yeah, i'm not the one making himself look silly! my bruce lee knowledge is completely adequate in determining whether a poster sounds like complete f#cking idiot when he argues that bruce lee the actor was a "natural fighter" while floyd mayweather, son of a contender, nephew to a 2x world champion, an olympian and later one of hte very best pros of all time, was not.


lookin silly doe

yea bruce is a natural fighter... so is floyd so that was kinda dumb for dude to say that

[bigjavi973]

Saving face?

Dude, are you still arguing Bruce Lee hit like a heavyweight ?

You're dumber than I thought.
And you obviously don't know how hard boxers hit .

so you are sayin you know more than joe lewis?

If you had a choice

Of a prime Bruce Lee vengeful with rage wanting to kill you or a Prime Floyd Mayweather vengeful with rage wanting to kill you, who would prefer to go up against. Neither can use any weapons.

an actor or a professional fighter, huh?

this one is tough.


the only time you've ever seen bruce lee in a fight was in the movies. that's just a fact.
