Tyson, along with being a relentless freaking chimpanzee (chimps are pretty tough) would just be way, way too big AND skilled for HolLeewood. If I were you, I'd rather run down Bruce Lee for stealing an old lady's purse than run down Mike Tyson if he did the same thing (and probably has many times in his day). |

The "myth" of BL was born out of truths! You, kind sir, have been pointing your biased finger the wrong direction. You look for frailty in a great fighter because you grew up hearing about him. Now you want to debunk that "mystic" because you didn't see it? |

The fact that their respective styles of fighting are so different makes it hard to say. the use of kicks and limb and body grappling in martial arts certainly complicates matters.

Gotta go Tyson here.
Tyson was big, built like a tank, and could deliver crushing physical blows. Lee was a small guy, really fast, and while he might be able to hit Tyson quickly with small flurries, his strikes simply wouldn't generate the damage required to win the fight before Tyson delivered punishment Lee could not withstand. Unless Bruce Lee was able to somehow defeat Tyson without ever being dealt a blow, I don't think he wins. All this business about being able to break boards and such with his strikes doesn't really apply when you fight people. People are built differently than boards, and what's more, in Bruce Lee's own words "Boards don't fight back". I figure the fight goes down with Tyson absorbing Lee's offense, and Lee is unable to do the same when on the receiving end of what Tyson could dish out. Tyson hits with so much pure force and followthrough that Lee's small frame simply could not withstand, no matter how much determination Lee had. Many people think of Tyson as this big, lumbering, brute when they think of how fast Bruce Lee was. Tyson wasn't a slouch though. He was big, and he was damned fast and powerful. He wasn't as fast as Lee, no, but he wasn't just some lumbering ogre that would be helpless against the speed Lee possessed.

someone said lees attacks would "bounce off tyson". I wouldn't go that far. What a true expert of asian martial arts lacks in size/power, they can certainly compensate for with the knowledge how to deconstruct the human body (attacking tendons, arteries, nerves, etc). My uncle practiced and taught for 20+ years and has a huge collection of manuals and books. It is always interesting to flip through them, I estimate more than half of the text was about human anatomy.

Combine that knowledge with (from what I understand) Lee's almost maniacal work ethic and you have a dangerous human being.
Not saying he would win. Tyson was a beast, I grew up watching his fights in the late 80's. Crazy fast, powerful. I remember how he completely dominated people. I'm just saying, it might not be as one-sided as you think. |

Yet he still would have knocked Bruce Lee clean out.

I think if someone can kick you in the face 5 times in less than 3 seconds-that would count as pratical merit. |

Tyson only needs to catch him with ONE punch. If Tyson can stand Lee's initial flurry, I'd say Tyson would win.

BTW Bruce was probably 10 times smarter, trained in many forms of combat, faster, had a deadly ground attack, more elusive, more dedicated and much better shape-especially in cardio. |

If Tyson connects once it's all over. Lee was insanely fast, but I'd bet on Tyson so long as he didn't get his knee blown out or something.
