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]
Bruce gets him with a flying lotus dragon kick and it's all over. Maybe he even throws a kungpoa reverse panda roll in there and really embarasses him. [Reply]

The one inch punch is amazing to anything standing flat footed and feet side by side. I have done the same fucking thing to someone. The user can thrust forward off the backdoor and drive thru the person standing there. It is punching through while doing it.
The receiver has feet side by side and has no way to stop the force from forcing him back. It is a fucking parlor trick. There is a reason why fighters today don't use it. Like other Chinese fighting styles, it is all show.
As for Tyson losing to buster. Lee never fought anyone half of buster skill. Tyson choked by getting lazy when his coach died.
Anyone, please post all of Lee's actual fight videos?
There is a reason there aren't any. Just like the current Chinese guy going across China beating up the Chinese Masters. An average Chinese MMA fighter is currently undefeated against the best fighters in China. Why? Because they fucking make everything mythical on their actual abilities.
Lee was a great that started the American movement of MMA and legitimatize Kung Fu films. But quit pretending he was a god. [Reply]
I chose Lee initially thinking it would be Lee from the 60s vs Tyson from the early 80s. Tyson from today has a huge advantage in that he has been exposed to MMA. he wouldn't be oblivious to the ground game/submissions. but I think if you transported 1980s Tyson to 1969 and fought Bruce Lee then, and Tyson had no idea about MMA/catch wrestling/submissions Lee could win. I stick by that.
Antonio Inoki almost ended Ali's career in an exhibition just by doing something Ali had never experienced nor expected [Reply]
