In reality, the actor would get stomped because there's nothing inherently special about martial arts, hitting people is hitting people, and Tyson was the best at it (not to mention bigger, stronger, and more experienced).

While I don't think Lee could have beat Tyson simply due to the fact that Tyson is simply bigger, stronger, and still a damn fast puncher, you're selling Lee way short by calling him a simple actor. The dude was a premier martial artist, first and foremost, with skills that would have translated well to the MMA of today. His speed, quickness, striking power, hand eye coordination, etc, would have made him a great pound for pound champ.
