at the end of the day its a stupid thread OP, at least pick 2 fighters in the same weight class
This is what they asked for
If it's a stupid thread why are you in it?
It's just a fun topic to discuss that CANNOT turn I to a race thread, or a sexist thread, or whatever else.

Tyson would also resort to those tactics. He bit a dudes ear in front if the world, a knee to the dong would happen
I think lee gets one leg kick in and Tyson goes for the grab and dirty boxes from there. I see lee getting him to the ground as much as I see lee suplexing him

Which is where the speed difference comes in.
It doesn't matter how fast Bruce is in the ring if his gloved punches are just bouncing off Tyson's abs
But in the street where he can get in quick and cripple him with a jab to the throat it makes a world of difference.
You put me in a boxing ring with someone that has 60+ pounds of pure muscle on me I know my chances of winning aren't gonna be too good."The bigger they are, the harder they fall."
Size dont mean anything. I seen SOOOOOO many dudes get dropped by smaller guys.
I hope you not out here scared of "big" dudes...

Tyson got no skills with the legs. Bruce can break his knee cap or shin with a kick then it's a wrap from there

When I said Bruce has trained to fight bigger guys, this is a part of what I meant.
Bruce was taught a martial art where they teach/train you to go for eyes, throat, groin etc.
Wing Chun operates on the centerline theory partially because many of the bodies most vulnerable points (nose is also in there) are right down the center of your body.
Those places are their primary points of attack.
That **** ain't really going down in a Boxing match.
And while Mike can also try these things, Bruce is TRAINED to both execute them and defend them.
Yes, I took Wing Chun when I was younger. But I've done more boxing so not partial.

Granted, BUT if lee can't land a clean punch in the ring he's not doing it on the streets. As if hitting Tyson was an easy task to begin with

I have to disagree with that last statement. I think that Bruce would actually get a few leg kicks in with his speed. And from my own experience..getting kicked in the leg hurts like a MOFO if you've never trained a day in your life to check it. And while no one knows how strong or good Bruce is with his judo/BJJ...size doesn't mean anything. Royce Gracie proved it in UFC 1 and plenty of BJJ practitioners can agree that if you have the technique down, you'd be able to bring anybody of any size down.

Large fighters that suck always reminds me of Bob Sapp. Dude is huge but can be easily beaten by a smaller fighter.

"The bigger they are......" Statement sounds good, but Tyson is a freak of nature. His foot work and speed do not belong with that frame. That's what made him great. You throw in his conditioning, hand speed, and fighting ability..... Man.
That saying does to apply to iron mike. If anything look at the guys he fought against. They were mostly bigger than he was

Bob Sapp beating a legend in Ernesto Hoost.. twice.
A big dumb boxer vs one of the best kickboxing champions ever. Size matters.
And Bruce Lee isnt the founder of MMA, since pancration has been around for millenniums.
Bruce is the "god-father" of MMA since his principles helped develop a mentality for MMA, and bringing people together physically, spiritually, ect.
Also Bruce Lee never studied BJJ, since BJJ was still in Brazil being taught and developed within the Gracie family.
He studied Judo, which still had ground techniques and submissions, under Gene LaBelle. However those Judo ground techniques aren't as effective against someone outweighing you 70 pounds. That is why BJJ or rather Gracie JJ was developed. Those armbars Bruce Lee did in the movies arent real armbars, and that's again coming from a clip of Bas Rutten talking about Bruce Lee.

I could make an argument for Larry Holmes being the top heavy of the 80s, but I'm not gonna bother that was a pretty ****** era for heavyweights anyway.
Heres a quick gif of Mike shadowboxing though

Waits for "but lee was faster"
We ask for proof
We get "just because............. Doesn't mean it didn't happen"

thanks for dropping the knowledge. I knew bruce trained under Gene, but for some reason, i always thought he trained in BJJ too.
I still believe the leg kicks would've chopped Tyson down though.
@ tr1ll, this does have to do with MMA. The thread pretty much became a MMA vs boxing thread.
