re: Settle a drunken argument: Tyson vs Bruce Lee no holds barred KO match

quote:

Bruce Lee was like 115lbs.

145 pounds, but he hit like he weighed 200 pounds.

I don't think Tyson is getting enough credit as a street fighter in the thread - he peaked fairly early, physically, which means taking him, you either have to take the fastest, hardest hitting, but dumbest Tyson, or a slightly more experienced, but slower Tyson.

Taking a 28-year old Bruce Lee is the smart play here - he was a brutally well trained and well conditioned athlete - and a genius at unarmed combat.

I say Lee, although it would be a mistake for an opponent to underestimate Mike Tyson at, say, 22, in a fight like this.
