Again, leg kicks between fighters of roughly equal size let alone 100 pounds lighter, take a while to be effective. Lee can't whip in there, *crack crack* and suddenly Tyson can't move, it takes dozens of kicks over several minutes, during which Lee has to avoid a clinch or he's done. I've seen a lot of Muay Thai fights where one fighter is good at leg kicks and is going in against someone who doesn't know how to defend against it, and it still takes a while.
You said the strongest Tyson support comes from people who don't know Lee, but I would argue that the strongest Tyson support here is coming from people who watch A LOT of MMA fights every year, and most of us aren't impressed by boxers, but Lee is just not beating Tyson.
Maybe you weren't paying attention when the mythology of the legendary unbeatable martial artist was thoroughly crushed, but its been exposed as mostly bullshit.
