This doesn't take seconds, its usually a full round or so, we're talking minutes and maybe a couple dozen kicks. And we're talking about guys roughly the same size. Tyson has 100 pounds on Lee. If Lee was a submission grappler I could see him winning if he avoids his hands while closing in, but he's not.

In a ring with boxing rules Tyson wins. Anyone saying otherwise has never worn a pair of gloves in their lives. In an MMA-style matchup it's a different story. "You can't hit what isn't there" doesn't mean as much in a boxing ring. Sure, a guy can be elusive (Mayweather, Ali) but at some point you have to go on the offensive. Many people think of a heavyweight fighter and instantly equate that to brute strength. Tyson's trump card was that he had both speed and power in his prime. Ridiculous power. At some point Lee would have to attack. The human body, no matter the size, is not designed to take blunt force trauma to the jaw at the rate of a speeding freight train.
Again. If we're talking boxing, it's Tyson hands down. If not...there are too many variables to determine who would win that fight. It'd probably look a lot like Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock #1, to be honest. SPEED: ![]() POWER: ![]()

The biggest definitive factor against Lee (well, aside from weight) is that he was a showman and a teacher, but not a high-level competitive prize fighter. At least Tyson, as limited as boxing is, was a real fighter.

This amazes me every time. Funny all the comments that Lee was just an actor. His muscles were just for show. ![]() Tyson never really fought anyone of substance, he padded his record and image with bums. The quality fighters that faced him, punished him badly. I am sure I stated this in this thread already. Lee founded his own successful martial art. He is considered the founding father of MMA and was a master at many other disciplines. Lee would rip his eyeballs out and hit him so hard in the chest, Tyson's heart would stop-fight over-60 seconds. |

I've read that ping pong clip is 1) fake and 2) not even Bruce Lee.

Buster Douglas would also have beaten Lee in a boxing ring.

Buster Douglas = 230lb top 10 HW boxer in the world at the time he fought tyson
Bruce Lee = 128 LB wing chun, actor. I don't think a 128 lb olympic wrestler, or even the best 128lb Mixed martial artist in the world, could pose any sort of threat to Tyson what so ever. WAY too much man for man that small, factoring in Tysons boxing skills, speed, footwork, cardio, chin, and a man insane enough to bite a mans ear off in a professional event.
