That's great and all, but someone can look like the greatest ever in practice, but being IRL situations always changes things.

Not saying he wouldn't have been successful, but we can never truly say now can we?

All we have to go off of is Hollywood video and speculation.

His movies are fricking horrible. Mike Tyson would lay a beat down on that punk.

Saw an interview with Chuck Norris where they were asking him about his training time with Bruce. They asked him who would have one a fight. He very humbly told them that Bruce was very dedicated to his training but Bruce practiced for movies, and he was a professional fighter. Basically, he would kicked Bruce arse.

Yeah but when some of the best martial artists in the world have such high praises for him it's hard to not agree with them.

Tyson was one of the most overrated boxers in history. His career is filled with fighters that were too young or too old at the time they fought him and just mediocre fighters during a time of weak heavyweights.

Is that a hurricane warning in the lower right corner of the screen?

"Bruce Lee was awesome. Absolutely awesome. He was fast as lightning, hit like a heavyweight. Great foot work, great defense, great offense and smart. The man was a true genius in martial arts.He could been world lightweight champion if he so chose. He was that good." - Bob Wall, Karate Champion in Black Belt interview 1994

"I've seen a lot of martial artists over the years, but Bruce Lee was the best. I was much older than Bruce when we met, but I was very experienced. Still, I could never touch him. He was so damn fast." - Jhoon Ree, Father of American Taekwondo


Of course, neither of these were biased to try to get what was then an extremely marginal sport any kind of publicity. Pumping Lee's nads was a sure fire way to do it.

For being this all-time bad-arse, he sure didn't go out of his way to ever put his reputation on the line.

He was making millions on his reputation. Why jeopordize it?

You can also add that Chuck Norris called him up for instruction.


That's all I needed to hear! He must be the GOAT!

I don't care how good you look getting ready for movies. If you don't get hit on a regular basis, you'll never be as prepared for it as a professional fighter would be.
