No doubt Tyson was a beast back in the day, stupid fast and hit like a freight train. BUT, Bruce lee even though he was much smaller, would have sized up Tyson and likely attacked him from behind the knees and head so fast he wouldn't know what hit him. Lee would have targeted him in vital areas and likely would have taken him down...would have been an epic fight. Lee was just insanely fast. Just curious why that is your opinion. Have you ever seen Bruce Lee in a real fight? i.e. not a choreographed fight for a movie? Faith... He Believes... Amen Yep, he believes Tyson would have just stood there and let Lee walk around behind him and commence to beating on him. And vital areas? I'd bet Lee could hammer the hell out of Tyson's torso for a long time before he did any real damage while one good full power body shot from Tyson would have done 10X the damage. |

I was the vote that put Tyson up by one...749/748. Voting is now closed; the results are in. Tyson destroys Lee...end of discussion.

I think the next one should be Bruce Lee vs Ronda Rowsy. It is at least a realistic match up.
My vote if for Ronda, via armbar in the first round. |

I can tell you that Lee will know what he's up against like Tyson. He knows that Tyson's one dangerous SOB and stay out of his reach. He'll find a way to defeat him and he knows many ways to do it.

In my mind I can picture lee kicking Tyson as hard as he can in the knee, or punching him as hard as he can in the face with little to no results.
Tyson would just stand there and grin and then devour him. People who vote lee are the type of people who are impressed with karate noises. A better poll would be Lee vs. Daniel san. And Ralph macchio wins with a crane kick. BTW, I love this thread!! And I love you ARF. I should have been sleeping hours ago |

Quoted: Watch that video I posted "The Science of Tyson". Typically a boxer is able to use his reach as an advantage by making his opponent eat jabs in the face all night. The method that Cus developed...possibly just for Tyson since he was so unique, was to slip those jabs and close and come from behind the jab and hit them with a body shot or a shot to the side of the head from a position that the guy can't see. That was vintage Tyson. He routinely did that to anyone who tried the jab. I will go dig a video up and start it just before Tyson does this. I'll find him doing to a good boxer, not just some bum. Does anyone think that Bruce Lee would kick Frank Bruno's ass? http://youtu.be/A-_fogIfi2c?t=9m53s View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I wonder how many guys over 6' voted for Bruce Lee.

They are similar in weight and she's an actual fighter who is at the top of her division. But, Lee was an actual martial artist. He wasn't a fighter, but you need to keep in mind what a large part of the martial arts was back in those day. Most of the Japanese, Korean and Chinese MAs were theory based. They were serious stuff, in that they were taken seriously by most. There was much debate about which art was best, etc., and dojo challenges and some fights in parking lots. The reality of it wasn't good movie material, and the real fights didn't play out like they were supposed to. But it was all serious stuff, at least in the minds of those involved. It really comes down to being an example of people's ability to delude themselves. I was one of the deluded. |

Otherwise Ruas would have likely been able to take him down and the fight would be over much sooner. Ruas was a very skilled ground fighter. But Verlens had good balance and was able to keep on his feet. Of course, he also had size as well, and needed it, but what many will not see is that he actually had a good base and balance to keep Ruas from getting a takedown. |

He doesn't really seem to have trained for that fight at all. I know plenty of guys his age that are in much, much better shape - and they aren't "professional fighters." That doesn't even address his simple lack of apparent comprehension as to the fighting style he was up against. It's almost like he signed up to get his ass kicked for table scraps. Is he that broke? Heck, I almost wonder if any local golden gloves boxeer couldn't have kicked his ass in a boxing match from what I see in that video. |
