Each in their prime, in a real-life fight with no gloves or weapons.
All due respect to Bruce Lee, I think Mike Tyson would have killed him.
Hard to say. What would winning be? Knock out? Some kind of points? To the death? All three? Tyson is/was a slugger. Sure, I'm sure he used some technique, but in the end all he had to do was soak up some punches then fire that right. Even if Lee was able to keep moving the more blows he took and the longer it went in I think Tyson would have had him. Same for Lee. I think in this situation Lee would fire Tyson out and rip him up. I would go with Lee.
People underestimated Tyson's intelligence and his quickness, added to the fact that he had
the 60 pound weight and slight reach advantages, plus the killer instincts of a tiger from growing up on the streets of Brooklyn. However I've reconsidered that it could go either way - Lee would probably have the best chance of winning in a street fight that was out in the open, but in a tight space like an alley ( or a ring) Tyson would have the edge .
By the way if Bruce was still alive they would probably be friends
eating some of Mrs Lee's hash brownies and having a beer right now.
Passing one around on the JR show.
