I could be wrong or dismissing context but I saw Tyson close ground on taller fighters early in his pro career. He'd have a few inches on lee and no amount of dancing would keep Tyson from coming




Exactly. Lee's only chance of survival in a no holds barred street fight with Prime Tyson would be to run back to China.

Let's be more realistic. Which punch had more power: Tyson's uppercut or Lee's 1 inch punch?

Tyson would win.

Lee was a very small man. Maybe 130 lbs. One jab from Tyson could have knocked Lee out.

I'm no fan of Tyson and would put several heavyweights ahead of him, but usually the bigger man wins. If Lee is giving up 60 or more pounds he's got a problem, especially if it's against another professional who is used to getting hit.

I'll go with convention and say Tyson.

I've been a huge fan of Tyson since his early days. He was an untamed animal; an unstoppable menace. He could knock a guys face off his head. In my opinion, young Tyson is the GOAT.


That being said, Lee would win.

Tyson would win. Lee would be in the hospital and might die.

Bruce Lee was like 115lbs. You people are on that dope.


The OT is rather notorious for thinking that if you're just super talented, you can overcome 70 pound differentials.

I think it's from watching too many movies where someone Tom Cruises size beats the shite out of physically gifted 250 pound men.

Not going through 50 pages, anyone know what page is the discussion about whether Tyson would bite Lee's in the face?

About 30 years ago, I actually saw the poor man's version of this fight.

It was a tough man competition and the final fight was between a martial artist who was about 5'10" 170 and a country boy who was about 6'5" 250.

Everyone thought the little guy would win based on the prior fights. I said, nope.

It went exactly as I expected. Little guy connected repeatedly. Big guy kept coming.

Big guy landed exactly one punch worth a shite.

They was also the last punch.

Tyson could punch lee in the chest and it'd probably kill him.

Roundhouse kick to the face. Tyson goes down for the count before he can even lay a glove on The Dragon.

I've seen Bruce Lee push a guy into a chair, which then slid a few feet, he'd mangle Tyson.

Exactly. There is a reason there are weight classes.
