Bruce Lee, how good was he actually?

[PAC-BOY]

You do know this was a phone ad filmed like 30 years after his death? And this wasn't even Bruce lee

yeah i know...cool vid though!

I see where you're coming from. But there are so many variables in combat. Physical is a fraction compared to (skills, mental composure/toughness etc).

But who knows I mean wasn't Ricky Hatton knocked out cold by a drunk at a pub? Lol.

That was fat Ricky Hatton after his retirement when he started taking coke and was getting plastered every night. Apparently it was a bodybuilder who threw him over a table and punched him on the floor and left him there.

Bit different to Bruce Lee who at his heaviest was around 160lbs but Lebell said when he fight met Lee he was a 130lb stunt man working in LA who had no official fights beating a 210-20lbs heavyweight world champion.

Funny yet tragic about the Hitman.


It's really tough to make definitive claims on this issue in my opinion. Yeah Lee had no resume, but he did invent his own Martial Art and influenced millions of combatants across the World. But I only jumped once red posted the size comparison analogy.

My first thought was the prementioned...and when it comes down to brass, it's like the old saying.

"Not the size of the......yaddi yadda.

That's where my logic stemmed from in spamming the photo.

Philosophy or not philosophy, these people on that forum think Bruce Lee could beat up a professional athlete who holds pretty much every physical advantage over him and on top of that actual real life experience of what its like to be in a real fight.

Bruce Lee would get absolutely crushed If he was to fight someone that size and with that aggression.

These are guys who take it way overboard. I'm a fan of Bruce myself, but I believe he can fight. No doubt in that.

What those guys fail to realize is while Bruce is very good at what he does and so is Tyson. They also probably forgot Game of Death was just a movie and Bruce had to teach Kareem Abdul-Jabbar how do to kung fu tricks.

Bruce Lee is more of a teacher. He's a bit similar to Cus D'Amato.

According to BoxRec, Cus D'Amato only had one amateur fight and lost. Then he made three guys (Torres, Patterson, and Tyson) some of the best champions in history. Cus did make the peek-a-boo style.

Boxing has weight classes and p4p for a reason. Bruce said himself that he wouldn't be able beat Ali in a boxing match.

Does it mean he couldn't beat a featherweight? Nope. That would be more realistic.

Now MMA. Different story. He'd beat the sht out of everyone from 130 to 155. You see a guy like Conor McGregor embodying Bruce's philosophies of combat and he's wrecking the f0ck out of everyone.

Bruce would wreck MMA but again, to an extent. Cause 170. He's getting mauled by GSP.

Street. Anyone can fight on the street. Anyone can lose on the street. I've seen Zab sneak a fat out of shape dude on the street and do absolutely f0cking nothing. Here's a guy, albeit a dumb boxer, who knocks the sht out of professional boxers but can't sleep a bum on the street with a cheap shot.

So yeah. On the street. Which is what Bruce trained for anyways. He'd be able to crack some HW boxer heads. Why? Anything goes. Get kicked in the nuts and then your dome cracked with a spin kick. Your ass is done. Idc if you are 220lbs.
