Tyson had no point of reference to deal with all of the myriad techniques Lee would throw at him in a no holds barred, do or die fight... too many people are too wrapped up in his SIZE, his awesome MUSCLES and QUICKS to stop and think about what true martial arts are, IMO.
Didnt mean to slam you personally Rico, but the overconfidence in some circles is crazy, IMO... Lee was faaar stronger and potentially meaner than the average 150 pounder

I simply referenced Tyson because of his notoriety...not because of his skill. Tyson, IMO was a Sonny Liston type... We are due for another Liston/Tyson. Can't wait.
If I named the title of this thread, "Who Would Win in a Fight Between Bruce Lee and Ike Ibeabuchi?" it wouldn't appeal to anyone...because no one knows who the hell Ike Ibeabuchi is....despite the fact that (in my opinion) he is the best Hwt that boxing has seen...possibly ever, but the dude had to ram his car into a brick wall, rape chicks and be all crazy and shit.
If anyone DOES know who Ibeabuchi is, you probably know him via his fight with David Tua...he and Tua set the record for most punches thrown in a Heavyweight fight.
Tyson is a boxer/fighter that is a household name...that's why I used him as my reference as to someone who can beat Bruce Lee's ass.
