Alright Planeteers, I've been arguing on message boards with people about this off and on for a couple years now and I want to get CP's input on it. The question is this: Who would win in a fight between Bruce Lee and Mike Tyson in his prime? Let's hear it! [Reply]

I was real drunk and kind of purposely being buffoonish with a lot of my replies from last night/this morning...but I stand by it. Tyson wins this one, no diggity-no doubt.
He beat Joe Lewis's ass.
Joe Lewis was 137m years old wheney fought.
Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you.
Who's next?
That may be the funniest movie ever made.
Quotable from start to finish.
Its funny that Sam Jackson is the guy who robs McDowell's
Home of the big Mick.

If I had to bet money on one, I'd probably pick Bruce because he would wait for Mike to punch himself out and countering him until he would get very frustrated and beat himself. Death by a thousand cuts...but if Mike ever connects on one of his lightening haymakers, the fight would be over within 10 seconds.
Tough call, but I'd have to give the edge to Bruce. [Reply]

I heard he lied about his age to get the role of "Clean" on AN. He said he was like in the 18-20 range or something, but was actually only 15 when the movie was made.

This, even in a structured boxing bout. But straight street fight, with no crowd or rules or weapons, I'd take Bruce no edge required. I heard an interview with chuck Norris, after he met Bruce they talked for hours and became friends. All Bruce was doing was learning. More if his "take what you can use" style. But when Bruce asked to do a fight scene; CN only agreed if he could be portrayed as having a chance. Lol. Something like "as long as I get to hit you too." From CN's mouth.
wouldn't be close. Tyson. Lee doesn't have the strength to go toe to toe with Tyson. A couple of body shots from Tyson and Lee would be going down. [Reply]

Yup...and some people are talking as if Tyson wouldn't be able to contend with Bruce's speed and therefore, not be able to maintain an adequate defense against him....please...Tyson was quick as hell...insanely quick for his size, and is definitely capable of countering more of what HolLEEwood threw at him than people probably realize.

You haven't done your research, I can tell. Love you bro muthusious, loved watching Tyson box too. BL was a fighter, studied and mastered most forms of stratigic fighting, from boxing to fencing, used elements of all to form his own evolving ethos. And despite his cockiness persona was humble underneath. Took his knowledge into practice/training, knew more ways to kill a man than anyone. Yes, he made money in the films, but he was tested in many environments too. A straight boxing match would be Tyson's only hope of beating BL. But that's. It what you asked..... [Reply]
