Other Sports Who Would Win in a Fight Between Bruce Lee and Mike Tyson? - Page 68

Alright Planeteers, I've been arguing on message boards with people about this off and on for a couple years now and I want to get CP's input on it. The question is this: Who would win in a fight between Bruce Lee and Mike Tyson in his prime? Let's hear it!

Jesus Christ. This thread is still going. Hey lets put Deontay Wilder in the ring against Mayweather. See what happens. Maywheather dead in 10 seconds.

Tyson in his prime with no gloves would destroy Lee. For Bruce to get close enough to hit/kick or grapple with Lee, he would have to get pretty close. Tyson has a MMA build and mentality.

As he once said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”.

For Lee, the size differential would just be too much.

I was firmly in the Tyson camp until I read this. Now I guess I lean Lee if he's smart about and stays on the ground.

Yeah the guy tried sparring with Ali late in the match and quit after a hit and went back to laying on his back. There is video of the fight. The guy was scared of Ali. But also would not allow ground in pound. The fight was boring as ****. The only true way to determine would be two fights with each style being allowed only.

I still get tired of of Lee's mythical status people give him. He is the start of MMA. But that is like stating Tony Hawks moves from 98 would win xgames gold today. All of Lee's achievements are second hand. Beat up extras? **** out of here with that. Sadly Lee did not have enough fights to prove anything other than Chuck Norris memes of accomplishment.

Lee was afraid of Kareem Abdul Jabar who was slow. What is he going to do against a guy with just as quick hands as him in his prime but way more weight and punches harder?

Sadly we can not compare today because if they both were coming up the training would be different.

Lee's only chance is to grapple and submit him with a hold. Tyson's is connecting. But for Lee to get in close for that he has to get in Tyson's power range.

It’s gotta be Bruce, right?

He is more than quick enough to avoid those vicious uppercuts, he’ll pepper Mike with lightning strikes to keep him at bay and off balance long enough to pull off a Royce Gracie-like, pre MMA jiu-jitsu scramble to grab a limb and start twisting

Iron Mike has finally met his match

Old and out of shape Tyson still moves like a viper.

He was a bad, bad man...

Depends on the rules of the match.

Bare hands, I think Tyson's speed and power would be unbeatable.

However, if the fight involves weapons, I have to take Lee. The more lethal the weapons involved, the less size, speed, and power matter. Tyson, as far as I know, isn't trained with weapons. Lee was an expert with multiple weapons.

In related news: an old and out of shape Robin Givens (obscured by dude in red shirt) can still take a punch.

Lee would destroy him.

**MahiMike** · 01-14-2020, 07:10 PM

Wow a poll from 2012. And even more wow, 100 lb Bruce Lee won. Wut? Dude could throw 100 punches in a minute at Tyson and he wouldn't even feel it.

If Mike could catch him, he'd snap his neck with 3 fingers.

One... Just one hook from Tyson connects with Lee and Lee is done.
Takes one to the head and Lee hits the canvas or takes one to the kidney and Lee hits the canvas or takes one to the ribs,they break like cheap glass and again. Lee hits the canvas.

But then again we have peeps here that really believed some chick in the MMA would kick Mayweathers ass in a fight.
