pshh Trying to paint it to be that youre a REAL MAN if you think tyson wins. I swear, how old are you people? It was Bruce Lee's martial art that made him the famous movie star to begin with. He wasnt a movie star first that learned karate. shite dudes

Partially my point. If you have actual combat experience, you know the difference between people who throw side kicks, and those who don't bother. Someone brought up a great point with early UFC and Royce Gracie. Royce Gracie made it look easy, but you're talking about one of the greatest grapplers in the world during those first few UFCs. But Royce wasn't Bruce Lee, he was what? 6'0", and 200lbs? There's a big fricking difference in a guy THAT size barely beating Kimo, Kimo who would have been beaten to death by Tyson, mind you. So with no BS in that fight, like a fluke knockout, you're telling me that one of the best grapplers in the world could barely beat a good fighter who was much larger.... but Bruce Lee with limited grappling ability is going to give up around 80 Lbs to one of the fastest heavyweights ever trained and win? He would go to snap a kick at Tyson, and Tyson would uppercut his dick in the dirt.

I agree 100%. Those who are heralding Lee likely have never spent a minute training in any competitive striking sport. I like how all of them ignored my comments on Lee's heavy bag work.

everyone is petering out just as we are on the cusp of 50.

Don't laugh Darth - for pros, the gloves are to protect the hands of the puncher, not the opponent - that's why Tyson broke his hand punching Mitch "Blood" Green on the street in Harlem.

The huge amateur gloves, along with headgear, take a lot of the mustard off the punches - the very light pro gloves do not.

I can't imagine what Tyson's bare knuckles would do to the ribs of a 145lb man.

To a heavyweight boxer's eye:



(But he broke his hand with the punch.)

what about Chong Li vs Tyson?

Tyson would destroy him. How has this gone 50 pages?

Well technically it's gone 49... but we're trying.

I'll take it to the edge...
