Tyson was just a mean individual, that in itself goes a long way in a fight.  And don't think Tyson was just a boxer, he'd do what he have to win, he's shown he was willing to fight dirty.

A (maybe) tough 5'6"/140# dude against a 5'10"/220# guy of legendary toughness. Speed difference is negligible, size, strength, speed, savagery all favor Tyson by a huge margin.

There is simply no fact based argument that gives Lee a ghost of a chance.

Bruce Lee wins


Bruce couldn't hit Tyson hard enough to hurt him.


I agree is tough to believe based on lack of evidence, but Bruce was known as a tough SOB

B Lee - fighter

Tyson was a fighter for many years who the best fighters in the world feared. People didn't really want to get in the ring with him, and these were professional boxers.

Would anybody be scared of Bruce Lee? As you said, there's zero evidence based in fact that Bruce Lee possessed any real-world fighting skills. He was an actor and a showman (and apparently a master of legend creation). Tyson was a fighter.

Actual fighters are a different story - as mentioned, Randy Couture destroyed James Toney and boxers in general don't make good MMA fighters. But then again they're competing against an equally-sized NCAA wrestling champion with years of striking training, not actors half their size.

It's hard to believe that this much of GD believes that Bruce Lee would have any chance. I would suggest that you might as well make the same argument for Ray Park.

I want to agree, but Mike's sheer aggressiveness would make him a very, very formidable opponent to even the best MMA fighter.

Lots of those top tier MMA guys leave themselves wide open because they don't fight boxers of Tyson's caliber. Tyson in his prime with some take down defense might fare better than you think. As always YMMV

I'm as big a Bruce Lee fan as you'll find on this board and I'm calling the fight for Tyson.  The guy was 210 pounds of muscle wrapped around a brain full of hate; no amount of skill is going beat that.

Those of you who think Lee would win are delusional, and have never been in a real fight.

1) Anything can happen

3) It takes a long time to acquire that level of BJJ and Tyson would be behind.

Going with Tyson by KO 45 seconds into the 1st round.  
Bruce would quickly discover that hit strikes have little or no effect on a guy who could take punches from guys twice his size.  

Then Tyson would land one punch to Bruce's head.  

He would be lucky to survive it.

Mike tyson would absolutely destroy bruce lee.

Most straight martial arts disciplines aside from BJJ really fall apart outside of competing against other people using that discipline or in choreographed shows that are meant to look impressive but aren't realistic. Bruce lee's stunts were mostly choreographed for show and he doesn't have any proven real fight record. There are a lot of myths around bruce lee and he would get wrecked in a real fight.

Since the parameters of the fight are not defined, I give you at least two outcomes.

1. Both men have no external weapons, are not in any adventageous setting or position - I give it to Tyson.
2. Lee is equipped with a light saber, Tyson is equipped with a dildo - I give it to Lee.*

* - Tyson confuses Lee as a woman, then Lee is going to get pounded.

Technique can overcome size/strength very often - take UFC 4 for example when Royce Gracie (170lbs) beat much larger and stronger Dan Severn (250lbs at least).

Also, a kick is much harder hitting than a punch and has greater range. A person who trains with both legs and hands has more weapons at their disposal than a boxer who only uses their hands. I've destroyed much larger opponents, never gave a shit about their size, in fact my easiest fights were against larger guys since they just don't have the speed to hit me or avoid my hits.
