Bruce Lee

[Reef]

1) Who is the greatest fighter of all time? (Only answer if different choice than Bruce Lee) Also, what is your reasoning

2) Say he (Bruce Lee) came to our time while he was in his prime. How would he do if he entered the Ultimate Fighting Championships now?

3) If you picked someone other than Bruce Lee in number 1, how long would that fighter take to beat Bruce Lee?

One of the first challengers was a master chosen by the Chinese community to represent them Wong Jack Man. He challenged Bruce and demanded rules such as no hitting in the face, no kicking in the groin, some light sparring. Bruce said bullshit, no holds barred. According to witnesses and Linda herself and Wongs people, Wong started running away after about three minutes until Bruce caught him and beat a submission out of him. Another fight was with a Karateka who insisted that karate was not from China and proceeded to whip his ass in lessl then thirty seconds. Bruce was a student at the time in Seattle. Stirling Silliphant has numerous stories of Bruce. Most notable was the story of two stuntmen assigned to work with Bruce. Two big caucasians. Apparently, they saw Bruce's diminuitive size and started poking fun and making sarcastic remarks. Finally, Silliphant suggested that he demonstrate a few of his skills. "hold this shield and I'll give it a little kick", said
Bruce. Without any run up or any thing he kicked guy so hard he flew backward into a pool. The second guy wasn't convinced so he held the shield and squatted down and braced himself good and he got the same treatment. The list goes on and on. Witness after witness. Bob Wall, Linda Lee, Dan, Chuck Norris, Mike Stone, Joe Lewis, Fred Weintraub, Wally Jay,numerous outsiders. In China during his filming he was challened everyday especially during the filming of Enter the Dragon. Again the witnesses abound. Guys like Lo Wei, Robert Shaw, Raymond Chow, Andre Morgan, Bob Baker, Peter Chin, Jim Kelly, even John Saxon... all witnesses. One of my favorites is Jhoon Rhee, whom Bruce sparred with on occasion. Jhoon had nothing but the utmost respect for Bruce's skill as a fighter. And then there was Thailand during the filming of The Big Boss in Pak Chong. Challenges everyday from kickboxers.

At the martial arts convention where he introduced Jeet Kune Do, didn't he challenge to beat any man in the building in under 2 minutes? He then faced the guy who the Kung Fu council had chosen to represent them, since Bruce had to fight for the right to share their secrets. He beat him in under 2 mins.

If Bruce Lee were alive today, I would kick his ass.

Um.. no. I would put big money that a 50 year old Bruce could probably beat down about 99.999% of the average 20 something year olds alive. That % is even higher for 2+2ers
