Are used to train with Kenny Florian back in the day.. spared with many

You clearly got your ass kicked by the English language.

Projecting?

No, or as they say in your language, “gryijbdryhvyjnuchh.”

None of you fags can fight

The promoters and whatever TV network got to carry it.

People would pay big money to watch Bruce tear up Mike.

I was just reading someone's reasons for agreeing with you here;
https://www.quora.com/Who-would-win-in-a-fight-Mike-Tyson-vs-Bruce-Lee-Why

Here's another one...
Fan forum asks who would win in a dream fight: Bruce Lee or Mike Tyson

I kind of agree with both of those. My take is it's gonna depend on the rules. In a boxing match Bruce wouldn't stand a chance. In a freestyle match Mike would be toast. Boxers punch, and Mike punched really really hard. But Bruce Lee punched, kicked, grappled, threw, footswept, ECT, and those are all things a boxer doesn't normally have to deal with.

I would have no interest in watching Tyson carry Bruce Lee to try to create suspense and the finally Knock him out just like mayweather did with McGregor. Actually I think wouldn’t even do that. He would just kill him off the bat. Either way no interest in seeing it. Now John Jones I believe would have been able to defeat Tyson soundly, even though he’d been giving up significant weight

Bruce Lees kicks were far more powerful than a punch thrown by any boxer ..one lightening fast kick to Tysons head would have broken his neck ..in a boxing match Tyson would win in a street fight Lee would destroy him .

you ever see Tyson’s neck? A nuclear missile couldn’t break it.

His knees aren't.

oh im not saying Tyson couldnt take a punch from Lee ....but the legs are much much more powerful than the arms !! and Lee was a well conditioned athlete !! Tyson could not withstand an unprotected kick to the skull from Lee and continue to fight broken neck or not !! remember Buster Douglas knocked him out ..now you can say that Tyson wasnt ready for that fight and i would say you are right but in shape or out his chin would be the same ..and Trust me Lees kick would be easily several times more powerful than Douglas's punch .

Not so sure about that. Tyson had that punch perfected. He could probably break down brick walls.

I dunno who would win. Could go either way, depending on the circumstances. But have y'all watched any footage of Lee showing his 1 inch or 6 inch punch? Pretty badass and no ear gobbling.

 

[P@triot]

But Lee was unbelievably quick AND he could kill someone with a KICK. Tyson was so muscle bound, I don't think he could lift his legs high enough to kick. Lee would've creamed his ass quickly, probably in just a few minutes or less.

Tyson wouldn’t need to kick. Hell, he wouldn’t even try to kick. Only pussies kick. Tyson would have punched him once and killed him.

 

[the other mike]

If Mike bit his ear he would have gone crazy though.

But Tyson would have to hit him. Did Tyson in his prime have the speed to keep up with Lee? Or anticipate where Lee would be for him to punch?

That's also a good point. In a ring, Lee has nowhere to run, but on the street he could maybe 'rope-a-dope' ( I know that's a ring expression Ali patented) make him miss, and run circles around him until he got tired from missing so many punches, then throw a killer spinning back kick to his head when he's off guard..

Yes

 

[yidnar]

we all know one thing Lee would be hurt if Tyson hit him and thats if he hit him..... i think that we can all agree that Lee would definitely land a blow to Tyson ...he was just that fast ..the question is how would Tyson react . i just cant imagine any heavy weight avoiding and dodging that kind of speed .

 

[P@triot]

Like a mosquito “punched” him.

And no, we don’t all agree that the Lee would land a single shot on Tyson. Tyson’s speed was unbelievable. And his power was unimaginable. He would knock Lee out before Lee could attempt his first kick.

 

[yidnar]

what you say may be true but i dont believe that Lee would have any problem landing strikes on any heavyweight boxer. and you may laugh but i believe this guy would have eaten either one of them in the ring if he got his hands on them

oh yes he did sadly he was not just tall like a basketball player he suffered from Gigantism .... but when he was younger and in his prime he was pretty agile for someone of his size . and his bones were so large i dont know if a boxer could even faze him with a blow .26 Ridiculous Andre The Giant Facts That Are The Stuff Of Legend

In recent decades Jackie Chan who has martial arts abilities made many movies as you all know. Is he comparable to Lee? And would he be competitive with Tyson? No matter what, Tyson was a mean dude.

Bruce Lee, and it would not have been close. If Tyson proved anything in his boxing career, it's that he folded under any real challenge. And after going 0-fer the first 100 punches and being kicked in the eyeballs a few hundred times, Tyson would lose his composure and focus.

Don't get me wrong...I love them both, and I've come to the conclusion that it could have gone either way depending on the situation.

You can't underestimate Lee's power, even for his small size, but you also can't underestimate Tyson's street-fighting skills and quickness for a heavyweight, even though he's only known as a boxer.....when you grow up in areas like Brooklyn NY, where he did having to fight for survival, no martial arts training can replace those killer instincts you learn on the streets and in detention centers..
