If Martial Arts were involved, you know there'd be some kicks and stuff that's illegal in a boxing match.
Can you imagine Mike trying to kick? Picture Zangief's low kick. Try that in slo-mo.

Steven Seagal is actually a legitimate martial artist. He's the only non-Japanese person to have run a successful karate dojo in Japan, ever, and you don't do that by being a poseur.

Yes. He was pretty badass when he was younger, but now he's got that potbelly and wears all that Native American crap. Tries to hide his belly with 3/4 coats covered with beads and sh|t. But, being a 7th Degree Black Belt Aikido Master, he could still whup most regular people walking the street.

i figured that tyson in his prime would be a better street fighter than holyfield, with the earbiting and all.

But Bruce would still win. Holyfield, Tyson, Lewis, Douglas, hell, even Ali. Bruce would own them all.

If you wanted competitive, you shoulda started with something like "Sharpton vs. Jackson", or "Eminem vs. Vanilla Ice" or something. :)

Lee.

Tysom would win IF he could hit Lee. Tyson comes after Lee, who drops and shatters Tysons knee with a kick.

The End

I think I have to pick Wolverine

Brude Lee, most definitely.

What surprises me on this forum is that a ton of people think Tyson can punch harder than Bruce Lee. It is typical of many matial arts students to be able to break blocks of wood and concrete with their bare hands. All it takes is one shot and Tyson would have his back broken.

Breaking blocks of wood or concrete isn't due to force, but due to the type of wood and concrete... yes, i've broken wood and concrete, and i certainly don't consider my punches stronger than Tyson.

Bruce wasn't just some quick little chinese guy who made high pitch screams all the time, he was very muscular. Bruce's are probably a lot harder than Tyson's punches but he does them a lot faster.

one good kick to the knee or thigh and Tyson would be imobilized. from then Bruce could do his famous stop the dude to death move... was that from enter the dragon or something?

next poll: who would win, Undercover Brother or Bruce Lee lol :D
