Hey we agree that Tyson would murder both of them right?
he really was the baddest man on the planet

LMAO.
You're a dumbass for trivializing it like that.

I take the word of fighters who say he could
The thing you have to understand with some of these other martial artists is that Bruce was famous and thought of as a legend, so training with him and hyping up his legend makes themselves seem better. It's a big jerk off.
And a lot of these other martial artists were not fighters either. So as for Bruce Lee's actual fighting prowess, they wouldn't have anything to compare him to since they weren't fighters either.

Tyson missed his calling as a no rules, cage fighter to the death.

Again though. I'm talking about the rules making mayweather mortal
It's kind of hard to imagine you could study fighting techniques your whole life and not be able to fight somewhat competently I'm not talking about being lee being potentially a world class fighter because IMO such insane rules make mayweather less than he is in a boxing ring...a lot less. Now if mayweather had more weight on him or had a height advantage...mayweather no question.

Do you think you could land one punch on Mayweather's head in a 12 round boxing match if he wasn't allowed to punch back?
No, not on Mayweather. Perhaps on a heavyweight or someone of my size, but not on the smaller guys and especially a defensive fighter like Mayweather.

I'm not a boxing afficianado but it's my opinion nonetheless that mike Tyson from 1985 and 1986 is unbeatable in a boxing match. It's pretty clear seeing his later fights he just started walking over and hitting guys. He regressed technically

No, he did a very shitty arm lock of some sort.
I couldn't remember, I don't think I have watched that flick in 20 years. However, it caught my eye since any type of ground submission back then would have been rare.

The problem with that is many instructors focused on fine motor movement patterns, in a real fight with adrenaline pumping fine motor skills can be neglected.
Also many of those mcdojo's that the instructors ran would give out black belts like candy, you are right.
There are some positives but there are many negatives

No. But biggest problem is it wouldn't go 12 rounds, even the most athletic guys with no sparring experience or training wouldn't be able to move their arms from exhaustion by the end of round 2. I've tried casual sparring a few times, going a full 3 minutes of hard sparring was one of the hardest athletic things I've done in my life, probably only second to the 400 meter dash.

Rare in a martial arts movie. Not rare in general. Catch wrestling was all about submissions and that was right here in America.
It's where terms came from like: hammerlock, leg lock, arm lock, key lock, half Nelson, full Nelson, toe hold, etc.

You could hit him once. You could grab him and body him up and get some rabbit punches in since you know he can't hit back.

Sounds like some Sambo shite. We do that stuff too. It's way more fun to just do Sambo submissions but most of that isn't legal in a jits tournament so we only train it for self defense applications m ostly. Plus, it can get painful quick for training partners, but damn you can get some quick taps using Sambo submissions.

Yeah. Lol. If he cant use his hands i can clinch him up and punch him for sure.
If he could use his hands. HA!. I dont think i could land a strike anywhere. And im not sure im prepared to handle the trauma my skull would have inflicted on it.

quote:bullshite. Bruce Lee used to get challenged to fight all the time. There are numerous witnessed accounts of him being challenged publicly by complete strangers he randomly encountered while filming movies or just going about his day.

I don't know what insider information you think you have, but it's bullshite. Bruce is also highly revered among MMA fighters.

What does getting challenged have to do with anything?
And MMA fighters like Jean Claude Van Damme too. They grew up with those martial arts movies and for a lot of them it's what got them interested in martial arts in the first place. So what.

Didn't he get his clock cleaned by some random in a bar?

I don't think I could grab him in a phone booth.
And he can't hit back but he can block and swat my hands away.
