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.

Bruce lee had a great philosophy on fighting but there is no footage of him fighting in a competitive match because he never fought in w competition. He gets beaten comfortably by any trained fighter in his weight class. But why ruin the dream let the simpletons have their superman.

Not to mention his martial art is useless in MMA, if it were not then it would be one of the dominant martial arts in the UFC. Bruce Lee was a great athlete but when anyone says 'Bruce Lee would've beaten this guy or that guy' they aren't even able to use actual fights to back this up.
Additionally, Bruce Lee never trained ground game outside of a few sessions with Gene Lebell. Look at his heavy bag footage, its the same stance that a single leg takedown would work wonders against. With no ground game you would get mauled absolutely hammered in the UFC, you might win one or two odd ones here or there but at the top level you would get destroyed.
Bruce Lee was a martial arts pioneer, probably a good stand up fighter, a great athlete but there is absolutely no evidence. None whatsoever that he would have made a close to top level boxer, MMA fighter or even street fighter.
