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 dont give a **** how much faster you think Lee is than Tyson, a man on the level of Tyson is going to land punches.
Didn't Bruce Lee only have 1 official fight? We are sitting here discussing whether or not a man who built his accolades in the movies and demonstrations at 130lbs could beat one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Holy shit balls.
Right.
There no way Bruce Lee would win. He's just not big enough. Now if he was built like any decent sized heavyweight he would easily win but that's simply not the case.
Skill wise let's be honest skill wise Bruce Lee is on another level but there's just too much of a weight difference [Reply]

On YouTube if you search for Mike Tyson there is a 40 minute something video on all of his knockouts. You should check it out as it was well done and they highlight why he was able to knock these guys out. It gives a completely different perspective on Mike and shows how devastating of an all around fighter he was. [Reply]

Lee was a small dude but anyone who can do two-finger, one-handed push-ups is definitely going to be able to maintain a chokehold if you give it to him.
Ok, the 12-year-old part was hyperbole, but I do think Tyson could get out of any hold Lee managed to pull off, through sheer strength. [Reply]

I don't know. I had a friend about 150, black belt. 100 pull ups easy, has done the split finger push ups. When we grapple his strength doesn't mean shit against my 270lbs. I hate joint locks though.
I assume Bruce Lee to Tyson would be even more apparent.
Maybe a lee vs Mayweather or habib would be better. [Reply]
Not quite the same question but I've always wondered, in a UFC match- what's the max weight you could take on vs a women's champion? Strawweight is 115 lbs. Obviously getting submitted or choked out is a very real (and likely) possibility, but being 80+lbs heavier is an insane advantage.

Idk, man. Your experience is your experience but I find it hard to believe.
There are a ton of chokes that are just, anatomically speaking, nearly impossible to break out of - like a rear naked chokehold.
I'm not saying that Lee would even be able to get Tyson into one, again, just arguing that I don't think it'd be some superhero movie situation where Tyson simply broke out of any hold Lee had him in through sheer strength. [Reply]

Would LOVE to see Mayweather try to dance around being 100% defense crap on Bruce Lee. That would be fun to watch. [Reply]
