    That proves I don't have a clue how, how? He was stick thin, you're an idiot if you deny that. Being stick thin doesn't mean he wasn't fairly powerful.

    He was thin, yes. Fairly powerful? Hmmm....I'd like to see what you call serious power.

    P4P Bruce was more powerful than Tyson. Tyson will of course have a much harder punch but Bruce had amazing kicks, kicking a 300lb bag once and making it hit the ceiling is what I call power.

    Hate to burst your bubble, Bruce Lee is obviously your hero, but if he were alive today he wouldn't be anything special. He bought martial arts to the big screen. He was powerful and fast, yes, but these days there's so many martial arts and practitioners around he wouldn't stand out at all.

    I would love to see that. Lets see the video of this act and them weighing the bag before he kicks it.

    I can tell you straight off this didn't happen. Most obvious way to prove this is to think this - who the hell has a 300lbs bag hanging from their ceiling?

    Bruce will always be special, he invented his own formless art, he mastered it, and he mastered his body. Bruce was absolutely fantastic at what he did. His art was all about useful techniques that could be used in any situation, he would be the undisputed MMA champion against anyone today. Bruce's dedication, perfect body, complete style, charisma, intelligence and mastery of his art will mean he is always a hero. Also take into account that his physical perfection was carried out over 40 years ago.

    In some ways yes, in others no. Like I said he popularised martial arts, that's about it.

    True. But that can be said about many martial artists of today apart from creating their own art.

    You worked this out how? How many fights did you see this guy compete in? What's his MMA record? That's a stupid claim to make.

    I agree with most of what you said but perfect body? Lol. No. He was a skinny guy with a lowish body fat.

    Bruce Lee - around 130lbs @ 5'7"
    Me - 175lbs at 5'11"

    Yes, to me he's skinny. Like I said if you deny the fact he's skinny you're an idiot. Or do you not like that fact because you're smaller than him?



    Still waiting for proof of Bruce Lee kicking a 300lb bag into someone's ceiling.....

    The first picture of Bruce Lee, is one of him not in his prime condition. Bruce Lee, had a ridiculously low body fat % during enter the dragon..........

    Saying that a prime Bruce Lee had a 8 - 10 % body fat percentage is a insult to his legacy.

    Bruce Lee was 130lbs and 5"7, but he was still a great athlete...and look athletic.

    Its not all about size, i think i look better that 99.9% of people who are in condition at 15stone.

    Great athlete or not, 130lbs and 5"7 is skinny.

    You really shouldn't make stupid claims that you can't back up just to make yourself look right.
