Most of Bruce Lee's martial arts were for show though. He was strong and quick no doubt but no way to tell how effective it really would be in real world situations since it was all set up in perfect environments for show and Hollywood.

No. But it shows that as a little guy he had no problem taking out bigger people from a strength perspective.

Obviously, you're biased towards the boxer being that Ali is your Avi. I think it's a silly argument. You don't. Whatever

I'll ask again, did Lee ever actually fight other people competitively?
At times, yes. He would go into karate tournaments and accept challenges.
There is a pretty good list of world champion martial artists who received training and learned from Lee at various times.
Fighters of that caliber wouldn't waste their time with a "TV Karate" guy.

The irony is I bet he doesn't realize that Ali and Lee trained together a while

That doesn't even do Lee justice. He was beyond elite.
I'm curious if the folks on Lee's side think there has ever been a man that could take him.

No one can criticize Tyson for losing to other HW Boxers when Lee never fought other professionals
There's people at Rucker Park and on the old And 1 tapes who could do some insane things with a basketball but that doesn't mean they could succeed in the NBA
I know it's not a great comparison, just pointing out that there's not actual fights to base Lee's actual ability from

People forget how fast Tyson was for such a big guy
They also are not giving credit to just how criminally mean young Tyson was. The dude would have bit, punched, headbutted and tried to squeeze Bruce's head until it exploded. He was, at heart, a street fighter.

Glad you see the fricking light
No, what I see is you making an arbitrary comment. Everyone is, but for you to think the ratio wouldn't be closer than 19-1 is fricking idiotic. I like Bruce Lee, but seriously....take a minute from posting thoughtless comments and go Youtube some Tyson highlight vids.

For a big guy, you're right. Tyson was fast and could connect, but Lee had cat like reflexes and also knew how to hit effectively and with the quickness. I think if Tyson was able to corner Lee and get him dazed it could be trouble, but I seriously don't think he would have had that chance.

Motherfricking THIS. Tyson was stupid fast for a heavyweight boxer.
Lee was stupid fast for a martial artist. He wins the speed by a large margin.
