I say it could be either one, both were legends and skilled. Though if anything was allowed i give it to bruce for he could just strike joing and pressure points, BUT if mike would get a hit on him either in the jaw or temple it would be a done deal aswell.

jesus christ jer_sm talk about annoying mate

End of day bruce is dead tyson is not who cares who would win get your head out of tysons [horrible word].

That is quite unfair to assume that Bruce Lee wasn't a great Martial Artist just because Mike Tyson would evidently win. First of all Bruce Lee had influenced many martial artists and even boxers, including Sugar Ray Leonard by his concepts and skills and by the way he moved. Even Arnold had commented early on that he was influenced by Bruce Lee's intensity.

Bruce Lee was intense

To match up a 135 pound man at 5'7" against a 5'11 220 pound Heavyweight Champion, who was one of the best in history is quite unfair.

Name any 135 pound man that would have beaten Iron Mike?

In 1970 Bruce Lee was ahead of the many in thought and training procedure. And he discovered and trained himself most of the more advanced martial arts knowledge and skill that he had aquired.

Mike Tyson was handled by numerous modern day trainers who had instilled great skills that Bruce Lee would have noted and surely would commented about. Remeber Bruce had talked about what if he and Ali had gotten in a fight. Bruce had said that Ali would have killed him, First off because of his size along with the skill.

Still The fact that Bruce Lee is still talked about shows his uniqueness. He was a great actor and choreographer and athlete. He was quite philosophical and artistic and also a great teacher.

Mike Tyson was a great Boxer- and a wrecking machine, that's about it.

You know Bruce was very clever and knew how to adapt. Perhaps if Bruce Lee pulled out his nunchakus or even threw a few darts..well Mike Tyson would have been defeated by him.

And this is the end of this discussion. I feel that the thread has moved from being educative towards confused mish-mashing of facts.

The only thing we know is that we won't ever know. They were fighters of two different eras, one being an actor another being a sportsman. Can't really compare them, now can you?

So this is the end of discussion.

Oh, Chang-hai Kwai, what happened to the David Carradine pictures you used to add to every post of yours?

-Taison out

End of discussion eh?

Normally when a mod says it's the end of a discussion they usually mean to lock it, but maybe I'm just old fashion that way, or atleast misunderstood. (Strange, I don't normally encourage thread locking...)

You see, I don't like locking threads but yeah, seeing how this has run its course; I'm locking it now.
