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]

And, hey, it's the offseason, so whatever.
its new. there have been small snippets of this film released before. this is the best footage of Bruce and the public has not seen the entire film prior to this [Reply]

I think alnorth was the main Rousey stan for a while. He eventually relented though. Not sure who, but someone else kept arguing for a while, though. [Reply]
Bit of a Bruce Lee buff here so I'll throw in my 2 cents. Bruce was challenged all the time to street fights in Hong Kong and never lost; sometimes with multiple people. Also, during filming of Enter the Dragon, he was regularly challenged by the extras and he would quickly stop what he was doing and kick their ass; then continue on like nothing happened.
I'd say if they both fought in their prime.. it'd be 50/50. Just because boxing is popular, its a valid martial art as well. Considering Tyson would outweigh him by nearly 100 pounds.. anything up close and Tyson would destroy him. Bruce would have to keep him at distance and would probably have to go for eyes, throat, nuts, knees to win. [Reply]

New World Order. Who exposed himself as an Affliction wearing retard. I've never seen someone paint a clearer picture of himself than that guy did in that thread.
And I'm not sure Al ever actually gave up his fight. I believe he blamed Rousey's trainers for trying to box Holm and said that she could still beat Floyd if she stuck to her gameplan.
Still the dumbest thread I think I've seen around here. [Reply]

One is the greatest martial artist of all time and the other won his title fighting over the hill bums. With Don King as his manager, a lot of the fights were most likely fixed. When Tyson actually fought legit fighters, he took a beating. Buster Douglas beat the dogshit out of him.
The lack of respect for the Godfather of MMA is pretty shocking, must be a generation thing. My hero is better than your hero. As posted on here Tyson was not even the best fighter of his generation, was a convicted rapist and squandered his massive natural talent.
I always wanted to see Tyson in his prime fight Tommy the Duke. That would have been a slugfest. They are both amazing fighters with tons of power and both pissed away their career. Tyson has resurrected his life, while Tommy had a sad and painful end to his. [Reply]

Tommy was a great guy, I still have a pair of gloves he signed for me before the Razor Ruddock fight.
He really changed after doing the Rocky movie- I think the whole thing went to his head and felt he was bullet proof.
He had sooo many women on him all the time. Tommy definitely lived fast and had to the end. [Reply]
