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]

Tyson would never even touch Lee.
I don't think Mike is a joke, but people forget that the fight with Douglas was a duck fight to keep Tyson from fighting Holyfield. Holyfield was always going to best Tyson and Holyfield is the best boxer since Ali. [Reply]

I dunno man, the bigger they are...the farther Bruce Lee could have kicked them. I'm guessing something like 9 feet in the air and 30 feet back easily. [Reply]
This is a cool bit of information, though I didn't watch all the video because ain't nobody got time for that. I went and read an article that I think encapsulated it though and it presents some great information. I have a post in my head but it's long and I just don't feel like typing it at the moment. I'll get it done at some point.
Hint - 'mind over matter' as it relates to stuff like this is SHOCKINGLY similar to what western athletes have known for a looooooong time. Go look at that gif Virus originally posted of the Tyson uppercut and why I think it may be a perfect punch for a hint. [Reply]

So says the man trying to claim the fat schlub who'd lost all his technique and footwork is anything resembling "Prime Tyson".
20 year old Tyson and 30 year old Tyson might as well be Len Dawson at the Super Bowl in 1970 verse Len Dawson at the Super Bowl in 2020. [Reply]

The Ronda Rousey one is dumb but not as clear cut.
Ronda Rousey could judo throw and armbar Floyd pretty easily. Real life, it wouldn't happen but there is a tiny chance.
Bruce Lee would have had 0.00% chance of beating Mike Tyson.
It'd be like an average 10 year old kid fighting an average adult poster in this thread. Something like that. [Reply]

Love your analogy here, but was hoping for a Lake Dawson joke. [Reply]
