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

[rico]

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!

Is this where we all remember Bruce was 125 lbs again?

I think Fury would smash Mike. Mike wouldn’t be able to get close enough to land those punches. JMO

Which Tyson? In the beginning he was a very good technical fighter. Had a good jab, knew how to work his way inside. once he became champ, his skills started to fade, mostly out of pure hubris.

This thread. ��

Wasn't it this scene that started this conversation to begin with? I need to rewatch this movie. It is great.

Bruce Lee would samurai orchid wave punch both into a million pieces in under 6 seconds.

At the same time

When this thread started, Chiefs Planet was really hoping Romeo Crennel would find the answer to increasing Matt Cassel's productivity going into the 2012 season.

Rhonda Rousey is more likely to beat Floyd Mayweather than Lee would've been to beat Tyson.

There's so much insanity in this thread.

Mike Tyson in his prime, could beat any man who has ever walked this Earth. That is 100% truth.

I’d go even prime Mike vs Fury I think would be a mismatch. Fury is just to hard to even get to. Especially from someone Iron Mikes height. I love watching Fury fight like I used to love watching Mike fight. Mike 5’10 Fury 6’9

Looks like the tallest fighter Mike fought was Buster Douglas at 6’4. I think Fury is much better than Buster.

Some of you guys are ****ing high.

Prime Mike Tyson was a complete fighter. He used all his arsenal of skills that he had including precision and defense. He had a great inside game to open up the heavy blows and his quick defensive moves in his prime are still unmatched in quickness today. He had amazingly quick head moves and he had many knockouts on counters. Anyone thinking he only relied on brut strength were not really watching.

Lee vs Elvis would be more even than Lee vs Tyson.

Post-prison Mike Tyson superseded the savage killer 'Kid Dynamite' Tyson in most of their memories.

There just wasn't an area he didn't excel. The only fighter that might have given him trouble was the nuclear experiment gone awry, Klitschko. Because he was just so goddamn bit.

But young Tyson was a force of nature.

I’m not denying Mike was a machine. His fights were must see TV, and I paid a pretty penny to watch a couple of his pretty short fights. But Fury is HUGE. He just toys with a lot of the guys he fights. Could be recency bias on my behalf, and I’m a pretty big Fury fan (was of Mike too). But the length of Fury’s arms I think would be the difference. Also we saw what happened with Mike when he had to fight into the later rounds. I think Fury would be able to keep him at bay for a chunk of the match. Also he’s a southpaw, which always makes it difficult for righty’s.
