View Full Version : Bruce Lee vs Mike Tyson

Bruce Lee as his kung-fu is more of technique and counters than speed and strength.......
Everybody gets hit no matter how good they are, and Lee is outmatched in skill and experience here. Style has little to do with it.

Now Bruce Lee?
Fighting a dead man isn't that difficult. I'll go with the living body rather than the corpse.
In both their primes, Tyson would win (as iaido and gunshin have pointed out, read through the topic and you will know why).
People that think otherwise really should stop believing stuff that happens in anime and movies.
I think what he means is Prime time Bruce vs current Tyson.
But then it wouldn't be a fair match. It's like saying Bruce with nukes can take out Tyson...

Bruce lee in his later years would finish the job cuz Tyson is gettin lazy now.
Don't assume he's getting lazy now because he's lost his recent fights.

My sister is in boxing and was ranked 2nd in the world in her weight class before she had her son, her husband is an olympic bronze medalist. I have asked her if a featherweight would have a chance against a heavy weight, she told me he didn't. She compared that fight to me(20 years old 160lb) against my cousin(7 years old probably around 80lb).
Lee doesn't really have a chance, in a street fight I assume it would be even worst for him because Tyson obviously knows how to fight dirty. This is an anime forum after all, alot of these guys don't really use logic.
Your comparing 2 boxers and 2 grown men are very different from a 7 year old and 20 year old. You seen gracie beat bodybuilders that weighed twice as much as him? On the street moves like kick to the groin, kick to kneecap, fingers to throat and eyes negate strength and power but is more about skill and speed.
For the record, a US Navy boxer called James demile with over 100wins and 0 losses by his own words admitted to suffering humility against bruce in under 10 seconds. He was 210lb and wanted to prove to bruce what real fighting was about. He now carries the opinion that Bruce was probably the best, not only pound for pound but best of all weight classes, in a street fight. He was dirty and his technique philosophy was "to simplify", therefore designed for the quick kill in the streets. Oh yea, if you wanna talk street fight experience, Bruce is famous for his hong kong rooftop streetfights where he actually seeked out others in his younger days.
Im a boxer myself so I know how deadly boxers are. One punch landing on Bruce and his dead. Its a case of:
1) Can bruce outgrapple Tyson with skill? He did train with legendary wrestler gene Labell...
2) Can he bust out the killer moves b4 he gets KO. Throat, eyes, groin, knees, etc.
3) Can he keep Tyson at distance with kicks. Kicks are very powerful and he probably kicks harder than tyson punches. He did train on a 300lb bag.
Bruce also sparred with heavyweight world champion martial artists and more than held his own. Im not saying Bruce wins this fight, its 50/50 to me but there is the case of many people severely underestimating or overestimating him.

bruce lee. no way tyson would win. lee all the way.

I'll wait until other experts gives the same opinion.
Bruce Lee has the advantage. As a boxer, I don't see Mike Tyson being able to land a single hit. Because of his boxing technique, he would probably never hit Lee. While Lee pounds on his face all Tyson can do is block. It wouldn't be in 35 seconds since Tyson does have stamina but it would be a few minutes before Bruce finish's him off. There's no chance in hell for any boxer versus any martial artist(black belt or above in terms of level of strength, i know in ninjutsu and other forms of martial arts they don't give you ran in terms of belts.)

bruce lee wins
tyson isn't all that good when it comes to stamina. Even at his best form, he still had trouble in the late rounds of the fight and in his late 20's and early 30's he couldn't hold it past the 6th or 7th round. so bruce would easily tire him out and beat him.
besides, martial arts isn't only about speed and landing hits. it also has everything to do with defence and how to avoid being hit.
another thing about martial arts is landing hits in vital places. for example, bruce could land a kick on mike's knee (where he cant defend himself) and thereby tearing his cruciate ligaments. mike can no longer stand.

Definetly Bruce Lee
His speed and reflexes were amazing, yeah, MORE than Tyson's in his prime
and his arsenal of techniques and resources is huge, compared to Tyson.
Tyson was freakin strong, but also was Bruce. Bruce was able to make push ups with TWO FINGERS. Send people flying with 1 inch punch, break 9 bricks with one hit, make explode a sandbag with one kick.
Lee trained 8 hrs diary, running 16 km per day.Using electroshocks to increase the thickness of his muscles( his forearms were hard as a rock), receiving a direct hit or kick from Lee means instant defeat.
Tyson would probably dash against Lee as he always does, Lee would just step aside and hit him with an arm combo. or intercepting him with a kick and then hit him. Lee is not your average martial artist, he can knock out anyone,
Mike Tyson is overated, his stamina was really SUCKY, even in his prime and most of his opponents werent really good boxers.

I trained boxing for one year and a half and believe me, Tyson's technique wasn't that great, his victories are mainly cause his dash speed and punching power, most of his opponents werent good boxers.
Mike Tyson started all his fights going all out cause he had no other option. His stamina was really sucky and this was demonstrated later in his career.

Why is this old ass thread back? If people want to talk in this thread they should read from the begininng and see the thrashing me and Iaido gave everyone.
And LOL at the Tyson's opponents overrated comment. At least he HAD opponents.

This thread again? :amazed
I'm shocked that someone dug this up.
Anyway, Iron Mike won the fight, initially. But Bruce Lee's fighting style might have some fight left in it.
If Bruce got Mike down to the ground, he wins. Mike has no ground game, that I know of.
But, Mike should KO Bruce failry easily, he's very fast himself.

Lee would open a can of kick ass. For the dumb sucka's who have never seen a fighting match of Bruce, lee would throw one fist at Tyson and his head would blow into bits.:nuts

Mike Tyson would eat Bruce alive. But on a serious note Bruce is chinese he has a small body stucture a body no matter how much you work it, not designed to take a Mike Tyson blow.

Mike would bite a chunk out of Lee's ear then punch him into next week.
Bruce Lee hitting like a car @ 35 mph IS JUST PROPAGANDA. If there is one martial artist that has more propaganda surrounding him, it's Lee. Anyone who has taken physics knows it's impossible for a punch to have the same force as a car moving at that speed. Hell, if you work out the calculations, a car moving at 10 mph would have more force behind it.
here's some physics 101
Force = Mass * Acceleration
While a person has more acceleration than a car, a car has definately more mass. It's not that hard to figure out.
Now, a car moving at 5 mph won't hurt a person as much as a peron can roll, dissapating some force which is why a punch would hurt more.
WoW the thread returns:
It is possible for a martial artist to hit 35 mph...i saw it done very recently in national geography channel...you know actual scienties confirmed this. Those guys weren't even at Lee's level too. Your statement is very flawed and you actually tried to use physics LOL...it's very easy to use kinetic energy and momentum to generate that much force(for the martial artists, probably tyson too)
Martial artist = trained to fight with everything
boxer = limited to his fists...
I don't see how any boxer can ever defeat a martial artist in a real fight(not in a boxing ring, where boxer would have natural advantage, with boxing rules and all...)
And I've seen Tyson's best knockouts, quickest knockouts but his speed probably isn't even close to a martial arts master's speed. Besides, while Tyson can use his K.O punch attacks Bruce can just dimmak his ass and send him to hell.
Darklyre
10-07-2006, 12:14 AM
Are you a goddamn idiot? It said the force of a CAR @ 35 MPH. Not the speed of a car @ 35 mph. BIG difference. The amount of momentum in a car going at 35 mph would crush your ribs into jelly.
Say a car weighs 2500 lbs. It moves at 35 mph. That's 87,500 lbs. of force.
Now, let's take a martial artist whose arm weighs, oh, let's say 25 lbs. In order to equal 87,500 lbs. of force, he'd need to move that arm at 3500 mph.
Yeah, not gonna happen, buddy. If a martial artist could do that we wouldn't have comic books.
oh my fault I meant to say the force too HEHEhe..you should've understood it was a simple mistake by looking at the quote i was refering to. alas, it was my mistake anywho.

Depends, would Mike Tyson beat Ali? If he could at least draw, he takes this. Lee knows he doesn't have the raw power because of his size, plus he respected Ali a ton, I mean he thought Ali had the perfect physics behind his punches.
He might beat Mike if Ali would cream him but its kinda hard due to his lack of power but he has overall fighting as opposed to a punching specialists, especially one with an anger problem could be taken advantage of.
if u knew bruce lees training regiment u wouldn't say he had a lack of power. its more of a lack of size.

Yea i saw that too. Chinese Kung fu was liek the fastest out of the other martial arts and even boxing but just not as powerful.
