Who Would Win in a Fight Between Bruce Lee and Mike Tyson?
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!

To say that Bruce Lee, an actor who never actually completed in legitimate fights, is a better fighter than Mike Tyson is ridiculous. Jean Claude Van Damme got knocked out by a strip club bouncer. Was that bouncer some world class grappler, or did he just punch JCVD in the face?
But do you see the problem with that example? JCVD practiced martial arts. But he wasn't good at it, let alone a master of it.

Bruce Lee was a master at least at the understanding of martial arts. He demonstrated time and time again he knew how to apply those techniques. And he showed that he had exceptional speed and power for his size. On paper, he had an intriguing skill set for an MMA fight. Again, I agree with your skepticism that it translates into the ring. But can we stop comparing him to guys who weren't even good on paper?

He was master, but we've never seen him go against someone that actually wants to beat him. He's never had to apply his expertise in live match.

There's some guys that can make 3 pointers all day and night. That doesn't mean that they can translate that to a real NBA game.

That is an entirely different argument. I've said all along it's fair to question if his skills translate into the ring. But again, he walks into that ring with an impressive amount of knowledge, training, and athletic ability. He wasn't just some ordinary martial arts guy. On paper, it was exceptional. I'm not saying that beats Tyson. I'm saying it's a huge understatement to reduce Lee down the way he is by his critics.

People in that time didn't generally walk around picking fights with those known to be well versed in the martial arts either. The MMA didn't exist then and the only potential equal is if the Kumite actually existed at that time as well. That, of course, depends on whether or not you want to believe Frank Dux.

Why not pit Tyson against any Shaolin monk? After all, they are just weak little men Tyson could walk up to and pick a fight with, knock them out, and walk away.

I think Tyson's lower body weighed more than Bruce. Just imagine if he started kicking wood blocks and shit! That would be a spectacle.

I get people's love for Tyson. Because he was an excellent boxer. But don't understand the reaction of reducing Bruce Lee to some kind of Hollywood actor, as if he's on the same playing field as Jackie Chan or Dolph Lundgren.

Bruce Lee was a martial arts actor in an age before much of the martial arts mysticism had been exposed as impractical and ineffective in real cross disciplinary fighting. Mike Tyson in his prime was an unbeatable boxer. It wasn't BJJ, but it's still a real fighting discipline and would have 60 lbs on him. Nobody hit as hard as fast and hard as Tyson when he was on top, nobody.

Exactly. It's Mike ****ing Tyson. The guy Buster Douglas punked. They guy Holyfield was beating so bad, Tyson went thug rogue and bit Holyfield's ear off...

Bruce Lee would rip Tyson's eyes out and shove them up his stupid ****ing ass.
