Mike Tyson Vs. Bruce Lee

[Mark Kerr]

"Bruce Lee studied a deadly fighting style his whole life and was widely accepted as the greatest martial artist ever to live."

Bruce Lee himself admitted he was not the greatest martial artist of his time, admitting he would lose in a fight to a man named "Judo Gene Lebell." BTW, for those who believe Lee's "formless" art would rule in a real fight, do your research. Several Jeet Kun Do competitors have competed in the UFC, and all were about murdered. Although I hate Tank Abbott and I think the Gracie family is arrogant, they showed the Martial Arts two things: 1st, that having a black belt in something will not keep you from being punched in the face. 2nd, that since most fights end on the ground, therefore mastering takedowns and submissions will do more than any karate kick in a real fight.

Also, how does saying Bruce Lee could beat Chuck Norris counter my assertion? Remember, Chuck Norris was a karate champion, and again, Karate DOES NOTHING IN A REAL FIGHT. Shit, I am sure that if Tank Abbott had a nickel for every black belt he has KO'ed outside of a bar, he would be a very rich man. Also, no one buys this "the martial arts are about peace, spirituality, lifestyle, etc." What the hell are you talking about? Maybe someone should inform Mirko or Fedor about this, because they think fighting is about kicking someones ass. Boy, DO THEY HAVE IT WRONG!

I do wish Bruce Lee was a real fighter, I really do. I wish karate really was effective. Think about it: Instead of watching 1hr of two guys rolling around in quasi-homo-erotic positions, we could watch Bruce Lee spring off of the top of the Octogon, and yell "Judo Chop!" Shit, I would pay money to see a karate chop KO someone! And it would at least be one of the funniest things I have ever seen!

P.S. Ironically, Judo does not incorporate chops, so I dont know where Austin Powers got that name for it.

 

[Bob Smith]

Karate, TKD, etc is to real world fighting as WWE is to a real sport.

 

[killiob]

when i think of one guy i would never want to get in a streetfight with, only one name comes to mind and that name is mike tyson.

why would you think of him, all you would have to do is throw in Lewis and tyson would be done.

Did you read my post?

Yes Lewis gave Tyson a good beatin in the ring, but I think if they were fighting in some alley with no ref and no rules Tyson would end up beating the shyte out of him. As far as Bruce Lee goes, he was known to be a pretty tough street fighter in his younger days. I think toe to toe Lees speed (if it was all that we have been led to believe) would allow him to get in some good shots and kicks. But Tyson is an animal and would end up ripping that little dudes arms and legs off.

and shoving them up bruce's ass....

 

[Mark Kerr]

Yeah, I read it, and it doesnt make sense. No one wants BS fluff about Oak Trees and snow, that crap is long gone (and should be). Fighting is about beating ass, not about gardening. Have you ever trained in any effective fighting technique (wrestling, Muay Thai, boxing, BJJ,etc.)? I have (Blue Belt in BJJ) and you arent gonna hear anything about Oak Tree and snow. You are gonna hear words like "f**k him up" and "quit being a pu**y." That martial arts crap about harmony, peace and spirit is just that, crap. Look at Cro-Cop, he doesnt say anything about that crap. He talks about sex, his guns, and sending people to the cemetery.

[MK]

P.S. Two of my favorite quotes by fighters, to give you an idea what effective fighting means:

"Yeah Ni**a, I speak Portugese, and I am gonna F**k you up!" - Quinton Jackson

"Right leg is hospital, Left leg is cemetery." - Mirko "Cro-Cop" Filipovic

Sorry, this thread has me going, and I am missing all the notes in my class!

I just get aggravated because DESPITE UFC, KOTC, PRIDE, etc., people still refuse to admit that the traditional martial arts style and mentality is crap. It is an act to get mom's to sign their children up for classes. Some people are still in the Dark Ages when it comes to fighting styles and effectiveness.

[MK]

P.S. Last time I checked, Silva never began a fight by "centering his chi." Damn, I love my sarcasm!

 

[Mark Kerr]

Also, I am NOT advocating being an asshole because you can fight. Be a perfect gentleman in real life, but if you have to fight, then whoop some ass.

[MK]

 

[esco]

bruce would win, because he would knock tyson's knee out the back of his leg and leave him for dead or kill him, himself.

 

[diesldud]

the only way to make it a fair fight would be to give Lee some nunchucks. I think Tyson or any big man with good fighting skills would charge is arse get ahold of him and rip him apart.

 

[Mark Kerr]

Yikes, this is starting to look too much like a Sherdog.com thread for my taste.

[MK]

 

[esco]

i think people under estimate the smaller guys these days ... anybody can beat anybody on any given day ... but when you sleep on someone, is when u get beat too .... hence mike tyson in his prime getting worked by an ass like buster douglas ... and dont even say tyson wasnt at his best cause he was, but he overlooked a nobody and got his ass handed to him!

If you have study these arts then you would know more than anybody else Bruce Lee was a master of pressure points and all he would have to do is hit one or two pressure points and tyson would not be able to move and yes Bruce Lee is quick enough to hit those pressure points before tyson could get a punch in. case closed

 

[Mark Kerr]

Oh shit, now we have pressure points! Grizzly, get here now! Help me! I am going down with the sanity-ship!

[MK]

 

[Chip Bronson]

and bruce was also a master practitoner of the vulcan death grip; spock personally taught him the technique. and his telekinetic abilities could probably knock tyson out without bruce even having to lay a hand on him... lmfao!!!

 

[killiob]

[MK]

Hey bro just another good point(pressure points) i thought that i would bring up!! ha ha that is a good one.

 

[HHH]

If I was a gambling man I'd put my money on
Bruce Lee. That's just me.

HHH

 

[esco]

i still think its highly probable that bruce could take out tysons knees.

 

[killiob]

Hey bro just another good point(pressure points) i thought that i would bring up!! ha ha that is a good one.

Also i had it done to me by a 6th degree black belt and he did it so quick I don't remember even seeing his hands, and that is the honest truth. I know that i am no Mike Tyson but i know that i am just as quick if not quicker than Mike Tyson, and I really tried to take this dude out and the next thing i remember is pulling myself off the ground and not knowing what happened. I think that some people over estimate karate because it was created to defend yourself that is why it is called the art of self defense.
