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]

Who knows, he may have done that...?!
Mike Tyson could literally put Lee in a body bag. Like, he could kill him dead.
Take my word for it...I sized up Bruce Lee’s wax figure a few weeks ago!!!
Nice fantasy, Lee's training incorporated moves that kill or disable.
Bruce Lee was 5' 7" and weighed about 145 lbs. His weight fluctuated about ten lbs. depending on if he was training for a movie or not.
Tyson weighed about 200 lbs for most of his fighting career. Tyson was also a known street fighter before becoming a pro boxer.
All other things being equal, size, length and weight usually decide fights. In a ring, Tyson would probably win; just too much size and power. [Reply]
