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]
:-) it was a typo. Kids need to settle down. "Orientals work in rice paddies" WHAT?? What is this.. medieval period? You do realize that rice is farmed all throughout the world right? Now who's the one being stereotypical.. [Reply]

Orientals and other slant eyed types work in rice paddies.
Ohh.... shit....
Isn't "Oriental" a slur???
If it's a geographical region that gets unfairly, unwantedly and disputedly lumped together....yeah.... To be honest, it's pretty uncool to generalize Eastern Asians... especially given their ideological differences. [Reply]

****ing wasted tonight, homeboys.
But the thing is, in 100% all honesty... you dont know JACK, you think you know, you want to know, but at the end of it all we're all simply guessing.
It also seems pretty apparent that some of you somehow equate Tysons weight advantage to some nebulous real life advantage in knowing how to actually USE that advantage against an MMA Master... he's bigger so he must be somehow better in a standup fight, in a quick ground tussle?
Come. on. dude... thats not even close to realistic and you guys KNOW it., [Reply]
It's hard to tell when people are trolling, but I feel sorry for anyone who actually believes Bruce Lee would even have a chance at survival without running away. [Reply]

What would make you think something like that???? I understand someone thinking I don't know JACK about football....but MMA....shee-it.... I've dabbled in it locally and haven't come close to losing...my dumb ass cousin who shares my last name and outweighs me by 50 lbs is a Super-Heavyweight champion in our prominent MMA shit in our region....he has been primarily trained by my brother and I....we can both beat his ass because he wasn't a wrassler....and he does so well because all the people who he fights against are the types who attend June Keet Do type bullshit martial arts clubs.... [Reply]
But I look 100% like a Manchester hooligan, or typical white dude.
That's pretty cool.... you are probably pretty good looking...the Cherokee Native Americans, from what my great aunt told me, are generally beautiful people. My wife is like 1/8 Cherokee...and she is beautiful. Our two daughters are 1/16 Cherokee...and they are beautiful.
It's so weird with my wife and I....her dad's last name begins with "Mc" (MICK...Irish slur) and her mom's maiden name ends with "ford" (usually English)....and my mom's last name begins with "Mc" and my dad's last name ends with "ford."

2 Micks, 2 Fords...my wife and I.
And NO! We aren't related/incest....
Actually, all I can see in our family, our Cherokee blood just gave us a penchant for obesity.
My aunts and uncles were/are chubby. My mom was 5"8' 200 lbs in HS until she got tired of being fat and starved herself down to 90 lbs. Now she looks 100% Cherokee, cheekbones, nose, black hair closing in on 60. I was 270 at one point, and I similarly starved my self back down to 190. But you could look long and hard at me and see nothing but limey. [Reply]

Oh...well....I'm sure it's just a matter of trying to lose the baby Lee fat.
Jkjk...
Is starving yourself the main way to lose weight when you have a sedimentary lifestyle that you can't control???? I have become fatter since my kids were born...and what's frustrating is that I can't work out when, or how I want to...Not only am I at home with the kids, but I have a rare disorder called cold urticaria (allergic to cold) that forces me to be confined to indoor environments in Iowa during the winter....
I want an elliptical and a bowflex....and I don't want to have to travel to use one because I don't want to look like the damn elephant man when I arrive at the facility to use the equipment on a cold day. [Reply]

Its not to say you know nothing about how most fights may go down, but all of this talk about "blah movie hero, never had a real fight he won, buncha pretty boy movie techniques etc" is EVERY bit as assinine as saying "Tyson was Clubber Lang incarnate, impervious to pain, fast as lightning, dude was a huge scary black dude from the streets!"
Tyson had no point of reference to deal with all of the myriad techniques Lee would throw at him in a no holds barred, do or die fight... too many people are too wrapped up in his SIZE, his awesome MUSCLES and QUICKS to stop and think about what true martial arts are, IMO.
Didnt mean to slam you personally Rico, but the overconfidence in some circles is crazy, IMO... Lee was faaar stronger and potentially meaner than the average 150 pounder [Reply]
