    One of my favorites as well. I wish more of his early fights were available on video. Thank God for Youtube.

    Kaman was one of the best of the previous two decades as evidenced by his wins over Ernesto Hoost, Kitsongrit, and Jean Yves Theriault.

    I'm no expert by any means - but I am a fan. I have been trying to find that Wilson/Theriault fight for years. I was lucky enough to score the Wilson/Alexio fight from Panther Productions about ten years ago and ever since - it's been impossible to find classic kickboxing.

    anyone has a clip of the Norris/Lewis fight?

    Lewis is badass, I just wished he would have said all the negative things about Bruce at the time when Bruce was alive. Same with Norris. It makes you wonder. They both would have killed Bruce's "myth" right there.

    I'm not saying I am a follower of the legend of Bruce Le, but maybe there is a reason they waited for him to die. hahaha Or I'm just being a dick.

    Well Lewis did say that Bruce was the fastest man ever in front of him. Show me a damn footage of Norris or anyone slagging Bruce back in the day. ****, if this guy was just an actor, I wouldnt disrespect him but I will state the truth in a Martial Art magazine interview for example

    Does anyone have a source for these negative comments? I've never read, seen or heard anything negative from Lewis or Norris about Bruce Lee.

    Here's all I've ever seen of one of the Norris/Lewis fights. They fought 5 or 6 times.

    Rick Roufus was a badass as well. Clip of Roufus/Kamen. Too bad Don Wilson never fought either of these two.
