I love these Bruce Lee arguments.
Dude was 5ft 100lbs. A lot of people could probably just sit on the guy. 1 connected punch from Tyson would probably kill Lee.

Pretty sure he could get up to 165 at 5'8. Still not nearly as stocky as Tyson but he's not a midget.

Jesus turned water to wine, so surely he could turn either one of these guys into dirt.

Then X, Y and Z say Bruce Lee punched a man 8 feet through the air while he was standing still. I still can't believe stories like this are repeated. This has been mocked up dozens of times at this point and the bottom line is that it's just not possible. People are soft and squishy. They're mostly water with meat and skin. They absorb impact extremely well and ultimately when their capacity to absorb impact fails, things get torn off. We see heavyweight fighters punch heavy bags all the time, right? 240 lb animals who lift weights and punch things for a living and who are punching an inanimate object that is not defending itself. The bags are usually in the 150 lb range. The bag move sideways by a foot or two and damn sure doesn't get knocked 6-8 feet through the air. Moreover, what happens if someone really goes to town on one? The cover tears. So a leather heavy bag, made of cow-hide (thicker/stronger than human skin) will tear before it flies 6 feet through the air....but human skin won't? If someone someone COULD punch you roughly at the speed of sound, you wouldn't fly 6 feet backwards....but your head might after it's detached from your friggen body. This is just so easily debunked. It's been done with dummies and it's been done with raw math. And the math is actually really straightforward. Force is pretty easily calculated, as is energy. The amount of energy in joules you'd have to spread across a persons body to literally lift them into the air for any sort of distance is so high that any such punch would be instantly fatal. And yet its apocryphal, clearly bullshit stories like this that continue to fuel the myth of Bruce Lee as some sort of impossible force of nature.

The version of "I'm back" Tyson would destroy Lee in his prime. Google "Tyson I'm Back" to see the video if you haven't already. It's on a New York Post website. Dude is still moving pretty damn good.

Bruce Lee would literally break Tyson's legs. Tyson would never touch Lee.
