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!
|
Bruce Lee
|
There are no rules to fighting in Bruce Lee's world. No clinching, no ref, and no break in between rounds (Hell, no rounds period). Bruce Lee FTW!!

Chuck Norris

Tyson. Because Lee's dead.
|
Absolutely no doubt, Bruce Lee FTMFW.

9 times out of 10, Bruce Lee.
The tenth time, Tyson catches him and obliterates him. |
I voted Lee. Come on ITS BRUCE LEE!!!
Although on 2nd thought, Tyson would have 50lbs on Lee. Also, most Pro-Boxers would dominate UFC martial artists as long as the fight stays upright, and I doubt Lee would do well on the ground with Tyson anyhow. |

How often do you see people in UFC and PFC winning championships with their expertise being Jeet Kune Do? Never. Generally, successful MMA guys are skilled in wrestling and/or Jiu Jitsu. I have heard somewhere (however, I admittedly can't find a source to save my life) that along with being one of the most viscious boxers of all time, he was also a skilled grappler/wrestler.
Not to mention the WEIGHT ADVANTAGE. A common argument that I hear is that Tyson wouldn't be able to catch Bruce Lee if they were to fight. Now, Tyson has never struck me or anyone as the brightest peanut in the turd, but if he were in a fight with Bruce Lee, I doubt he would spend the majority of his time chasing him around. He would eventually wait for him and if Bruce Lee were within his grasps, chances are he could catch him... he was incredibly fast for his size. If (WHEN) Tyson catches Bruce Lee, it's over. Bruce Lee was a human, hollywood star who happened to be a very, very skilled martial artist. |
Bruce Lee, and it's not even close.

Tyson over Lee is something I would put a million dollars on if I had it.

Gotta go with Lee.

Tyson would murder probably 97% of the population, but Lee is in the 3%. |

No he was an EXPERT in martial arts, who happened to also be a film star. |
Serious Note. Tyson would obliterate him.

Bruce Lee was a master of a physical art form and he had the charm and charisma to turn that into an acting career. Even in Bruce Lee's time, there were probably thousands of martial artists who would've kicked his ass in HIS OWN FORM OF MARTIAL ARTS, but they weren't talented enough to turn that skill into an acting/money making enterprise. Tyson has fought in over 50 competitive professional fights. Bruce Lee has fought in how many competitive professional fights? And there were what, a couple rumored "street fights/confrontations?" :shrug: Tyson would kick the $hit out of Bruce Lee, and he wouldn't even need to use his legendary head movement and counter punching. Tyson would take him down and pound the living pulp out of him. It would look like, well, a giant African American beating the crap out of a little Chinaman. |

I'd like to think that Lee would win over Tyson, but I don't realistically believe that.
|
Lee might win but his ears would be gone.

He would've been lucky to even land a shot on Bruce. And Bruce could do more than stand up, he was heavy into jiu-jitsu as well. |
I am sorry, but as cool as Bruce Lee was a Tyson in his Prime would dominate him.. As seen in the video above, Tyson was just as fast, heavier and stronger.. Lee's only choice would be Tyson not connecting and Lee having an diamond jaw..
Lee's kick could keep Tyson at bay, and Lee would have to take out Tyson's legs to take his power and speed away to win.. The longer the fight, the better the odds... But Tyson in his prime.. no way.. But this comment is just like who would win between superheroes, you never are really going to know.. |

Tyson was as fast as Lee :LOL:
Lee hardly fought any pro fights ROFL Cant believe the crazy shit being thrown around here. |

Bruce Lee was 5'7" 128 lbs. Mike Tyson 5'10" 220. It wouldn't even be close.
|
I don't think any boxer could beat a competent martial artist. Have you ever seen a boxer fight MMA? They always get choked out within 30 seconds. Boxing is a sport, not a martial art. The boxer would have zero ground fighting skills. It wouldn't even be a contest.

It would really depend on the rules of the fight.
If Lee could ONLY box...Tyson. If it's no-holds barred...Lee (by a COUNTRY MILE). |
If Lee was alive he would win unless Tyson got his hands on him

I swear I have heard that Tyson was skilled in grappling/wrestling. |
Quote:
Tyson will never be thought of as a chump, ever, but Bruce would win. He had too much speed and power for Tyson to deal with. |

And the only links are hearsays.. People want to give the nod to Lee for all his fighting on the streets growing up.. Tyson did the same thing.. Everyone gives Lee this mythical level of skill, I am not saying he was not badass.. But the guy was not a god.. |

Idiots dont take into consideration Tyson is the fastest HW fighter to ever live. Saying he couldnt catch Lee is reeruned.

Lee would have hit him 7 times before he even got his hands up

In all honesty, both guys would probably beat each other to a pulp.

2.) Whether many of those fights occurred or not is universally debateable. |

However, I did say competent martial artist. I stand by my original statement. |

Lee did pushups with his forefinger and thumb.
the amount of force in that psi would destroy Tyson. ..it wouldn't last one round. |

Lol, 35-6.... no offense, but that is just plain stupid.
Anyways, now we are in a discussion as to who would win in a fight between Floyd Mayweather and Bruce Lee..... now that I have no idea. |
If you picked Tyson,go **** your mother.
Idiots. Oh and go **** yourself for not making it a public poll you stupid mother****er! |

Tyson would have more then 50 pounds on bruce. Mike walked around at 230 easily, bruce was definitely under 150. Pro boxers would definitely NOT dominate ufc fighters even if it stayed standing. ufc fighters train boxing everyday and are are also professionals at all types of kicks, elbows, dirty boxing, and clinching. mayweather might win the fight, (only saying theyre standing), but all other pro boxers would not dominate a pro ufc fighter. Lastly, bruce was the first mma fighter in the world. He used all techniques and flowed like water. He might of been the ****ing man. but my bets on tyson. One connection from tyson and its over. Bruce takes him down though, my moneys on bruce choking him out or breaking his arm. |

Depends on what kind of fight...
|
Assuming its a cage match, I'd say Tyson, and it wouldn't even be particularly close. Lee would get a few hits in, Tyson would ignore the pain, get angry, bull in, and once the grappling starts, its over. Dude's got almost 100 pounds on him.
|
The first thing Bruce Lee would do is cripple him if we're talking no-holds barred. Wouldn't even be a contest.
I took a 4 month basic self-defense/judo class and it was 80% "how to not get raped by some one with 6" and 80lbs on you" for women. I'd have to think Tyson would be wearing knee braces for the rest of his life afterwards. |

However, I don't have to concede that Lee would ever get anywhere close to him to break a bone before he gets his face caved in. Tyson is not some lumbering giant, in his prime he was good due to his incredible speed. |
Bruce would pull this on Tyson:

We were in class a couple days and had already gone over gouging eyes, breaking colarbones and metatarsals. Hell, I watched our instructor warm up by doing flat footed jumps and grabbing the basketball goal with both hands. And just watching do axe kicks made your testises shrink. Got to figure Lee in his prime was no worse. |
