Size matters. A lot. How often does the tiny guy win a fight in real life? The answer is almost never. View Quote That is not true, it all depends on the fighting style. Is it just standing there throwing retarded punches? wrestling? or fighting with all you've got without any rules? |

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. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

This is speed (Tyson) vs ZOMG did he really punch me 10x after kicking me 5x in under 3secs Speed (Bruce) 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 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. 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. |

How is Bruce Lee winning this poll? I'd take Tyson if Bruce Lee was armed with ninja stars, nunchuks and that shit Chong Li threw in Frank Dux's eyes.

Google image Mitch Green to see what happens when even a 6'5" heavyweight boxing champion gets in a street fight with Iron Mike Tyson. I hope this settles this once and for all. Mike Tyson was billed as "the Baddest Man on The Planet" and he was. Wouldn't go that far. Put him against an MMA top tier fighter closer to his size and he's toast. I want to agree, but Mike's sheer aggressiveness would make him a very, very formidable opponent to even the best MMA fighter. That said, Daniel Cormier is pretty goddamn hardcore. |

Oh, give Tyson a year of bjj just enough to keep things on his feet and it would be very dangerous to go against him. But MMA fighters can fight more open because the game is different. Boxers are fighting in a very constrained range with a small number of weapons and don't have to watch for everything you have to in NHB fighting. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

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. |

Tyson is a street fighter thug who got cleaned up and put in the ring. He would kill Bruce Lee in no time flat.

[Tyson in his prime with BJJ skills would be unstoppable in any current MMA ring. View Quote Wouldn't go that far, either. 1) Anything can happen 2) The beauty of BJJ is that once you get close, it's very hard for a striker to generate enough power to damage you. 3) It takes a long time to acquire that level of BJJ and Tyson would be behind. 4)But then again...anything can happen. Aggressiveness can be an attribute, it can also get you into trouble. e.g. Scott Morris v Pat Smith. |

Tyson would win
Because Bruce Lee would hear Tyson talk and start laughing uncontrollably |

Tyson I'm sure had a more devastating punch, but he would never have connected. Bruce would make quick work of him in his prime.

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 literally kill Bruce Lee. Like, no shit being carried out in a body bag dead. Think about this for a second...One is the heavy weight champion of the world who fights other highly trained physical specimens, And the other is a 130 lbs actor

I think Tyson would eat him alive. Lee might beat on him for a bit but Tyson's a lot bigger, just about a fast, and a lot stronger.

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. |

If Lee could stay away from Tyson until he tires, I'd bet on Lee. View Quote GO hit a heavy bag for 3 minutes, take a 2 minute rest, then do that for 12 rounds. It is one of the most tiring exhausting things you can do, Add to that a 240llb man, trying to smother you while hitting you as hard as he can. I don't think trying to tire Mike Tyson out would go as planned. Any man that can go 12 rounds with another man and still look fresh has amazing stamina. |

Some of you also probably think the movie "Lone Survivor" is an accurate depiction of the actual event.... Bruce Lee is complete fantasy, too

Some people are delusional. The size/strength disparity is far too great. Technique can only overcome so much. The only question is whether Lee would end up dead or only brain damaged. View Quote 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. |

Bottom line- Tyson eats Lee as an appetizer, destroys the Gracie clan for dinner, and rapes Rousey to death for dessert.
