There is an old idiom, Believe half of what you see, none of what you read...

Anyone who's ever studied Bruce Lee knows very well the dude was always challenged before and during the time he was a movie star. He was probably in more fights than Floyd's professionally fought in. The problem today is people's idea of fighting (Boxing or MMA) professionally is the measuring stick, but you're limited to rules.
How many people are going to challenge Floyd on the street w/ out 6 bodyguards attacking the person? Bruce got challenged on the set of every movie he ever filmed (and by top notch Martial Artists in their own right) and he would annihilate them within seconds. Anyone who regards Lee as "just" an actor clearly never did their research on the guy. He was the real deal.

Lee's phenomenal fitness allowed him to perform numerous exceptional physical feats:[82][83]
Lee's speed in terms of reacting + punching from a distance of three feet away was determined to be around five hundredths of a second (0.05 second); from five feet away it was around eight hundredths of a second (0.08 second).[84][85][86]
Lee could take in one arm a 75 lb barbell from a standing position with the barbell held flush against his chest and slowly stick his arms out locking them, holding the barbell there for several seconds.[87]
In a speed demonstration, Lee could snatch a dime off a person's open palm before they could close it, and leave a penny behind.[88]
Lee performed one-hand push-ups using only the thumb and index finger.[83][89]
Lee performed 50 reps of one-arm chin-ups.[90]
Lee could cause a 300-lb (136.08 kg) bag to fly towards and thump the ceiling with a sidekick.[83]
Lee held an elevated v-sit position for 30 minutes or longer.[82
