No speed doesn't kill. Speed that is NURTURED kills. There are TONS of fast guys but with out the right training it doesn't mean ****.

To be honest, Lees kicks look quite fast but that is because they are fancy looking. His Wing Chun strikes look fast but that is because of how the strike looks i.e. they are often pathetic chops to the neck with little recoil. When he punches properly on the bag he doesn't look like Leonard, Ali, Pac or Jones.

 

And apparently...

"Hawkings Cheung, his fellow Wing Chun street fighter, witnessed the event."

I'd really like to see original sources.

 

Hmmm... how about punch resistance? Grappling ability? Wrestling ability? Submission offense? Submission defense? Clinch fighting? Takedowns? Takedown defense? Technical striking skills? Real fight experience? Dominating performances in real fights against the other best fighters in the world? Does any of that stand for anything? Or are we just going to stick with the Bruce Lee was faster, so he wins theory? BJ Penn isn't exactly slow either, btw.

I reliable source I am sure. Hawkings is an honest guy obviously....:blood

 

I think all of the sources for Lee's fighting experience are friends and family. Some reports conflict as well. One source says a fight lasts a certain duration and others say otherwise. I've seen conflicting reports on two different 'fights'. I really want to know why no real fighting could be video.

The title of this thread is he fought a Thai boxer on a FILM SET. No cameras available to record the accomplishment I guess?!?!?!

 

Bruce Lee was one of the pioneers of what is now called MMA. Bruce Lee practiced Wing Chung but his fighting principle was to combine all styles and classical and modern martial arts to improve his fighting style. At the time Bruce Lee was alive some traditional Martial arts Dojo's wouldn't teach foreigners.

Because Bruce Lee integrated different style's i have no doubt he would have kicked the **** out of that guy. + I have got the avenging fist on DVD.... Bruce Lee was a bad man

Every time that I hear all of these "fight stories" involving Bruce Lee... it reminds of a time when I was 19 years old. I had been out drinking and was dropping off one of my friends at his apartment in the projects. There were about a dozen people standing around, and a couple of them started to yell **** at him, then approached him... so I got out of my car and ran up beside him. Well... most of them were clearly wasted, and it was really cold and snowing out. I told the one who was the most aggressive to leave him alone or I was going to kick his ass. Well, he took a swing at me, I dodged it and just sort of pushed him backwards in the process. He started slipping like crazy on the icy cement and fell head slamming into a dumpster. One of his friends hit my friend so I hit him with a good one in the jaw, dropping him. Now... at that point all of the other people backed away, stood there silently, or were just bystanders saying "ohhh". Hell, at least 4 of them were girls, and the others never even made a threatening move towards us. I had only thrown one punch. Now... the next day I left for a month Vacation with some family in Atlanta. When I came back to Ohio a month later... I heard two different stories about myself... both of them hilarious. The most common story was that I fought 8 people at once and knocked them all out cold. The second story, even more hilarious... was that I knocked out 1 guy... then I knocked out another one...grabbed him in a headlock (I swear this is a true rumor)... and yanked out his tooth with a pair of pliers. (I guess one of them actually lost a tooth but I didn't even know at the time) People actually believed this ****! As if I just walk around carrying pliers in my pocket for those occasions.:nutPeople told this rumor so long that to this day, 10 years later... people still talk about it. Every time I tell them the true story... but for some reason that one never gets around.


Point being... second hand fight stories without proof aren't very reliable.

 

He recorded training footage at home but never wanted any of his amazing feats in other martial arts to be seen. Yeah right.

He was on a film set but NO ONE thought it would be cool to catch him taking on a thai boxer. Yeah right.

The guy is completely unproven on the level of genuine MA or MMA. All you Bruce fanatics are assuming he has the stamina, assuming he has power, assuming he has a chin, assuming he has heart and assuming he has all the intangiables. The guy looks good but his functional ability in a 5MMA/12boxing round fight is unknown.

All I know is the guy dedicated his life to MA and his boxing stinks, he has pretty much no high level grappling and it all comes down to his kicks. I barely see any elbows or knees from him. Boxing, Muay Thai and Judo were around and they are effective arts but I don't see him mastering them.

To be honest, his son looks less talented but technically better from what I've seen. He seems to have Muay Thai experience and actually throws good strikes. When he fought fancy it was for the cameras.

Bruce Lee has potential but probably no more than we thought of Brock or Pudzianowski. He's a specimen so it would be interesting to see him try it. HOWEVER I have absolutely no doubt BJ Penn would dominate him at everything except maybe kicks.

 

+1. Pound for pound ranked multiple time multiple weight class mixed martial arts world champions beat Bruce Lee 10 times out of 10. Don't be upset by this Bruce Lee fans, BJ Penn also beats every other 155 or less pound person on the planet just about every time, so it's no disrespect.
