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]

Mike Tyson is big, strong, and had a fast punch for a boxer. Bruce Lee was on another level with speed, combination kicks, and the like that we may never see again. Bruce Lee's accuracy with his contact was ridiculous. He could take a black belt out in about 3 seconds, and you think Mike ****ing Tyson would last longer? And somehow people think that a guy that practiced with a metal filled punching bag would not be able to knock Mike the **** out... Hahahaha. You're talking about the single greatest martial artist to ever live, against a boxer. Incredible. I'd put money on Chuck Norris over Mike Tyson, and Bruce Lee was twice as good.

This is such a dumb argument. Tyson wold absolutely get a shot on Lee. Don't be ridiculous. There's a reason weight classes exist. Why do dorks like to pretend that martial artists have super video game speed? [Reply]

The strongest Tyson support is coming from people who don't know anything about Lee. [Reply]

I'm beginning to sense that, because nobody in their right mind would pick Tyson over Lee if they know Lee. I was about to start scouring the interwebs for Lee footage, but I thought ah, fuck it, they can look it up themselves if they want. [Reply]
A head punch from Mike Tyson would have caved in Bruce Lee's brain.
Would he have landed a solid one seems to be the question of this dumbass thread.
There are a lot of what ifs with Mike Tyson since he laid waste to everyone until he got beat for not training hard enough. Then after not training enough he went to prison a bit. [Reply]

Tyson lost against Buster Douglas, who was 6'3 230 pounds, because he was on the drug lithium due to his psycho wife.
Mike Tyson, pre or post prison, wouldn't have been "hurt" by a 5'7 128 pound man, regardless of his martial arts skills.
Tyson would have shoved him into a corner and destroyed him. Lee's body would have crumbled, just like so many other 200+ pound highly trained men. [Reply]

Tyson was an angry butcher. Lee was a cold blooded surgeon. Lee wins, and it wouldn't even be close. [Reply]
128 pounds! His punches couldn't hurt a guy like Tyson.
Seriously?
Yeah, after his kicks crippled Tyson so badly that he couldn't move, I'm sure his strikes would do sufficient damage. It's not a boxing match. The thread title asks who would win in a fight. [Reply]
