Bruce Lee vs. Muhammed Ali

[focusyn]

aiite who would win? i'm think'n lee

 

[compuwiz1]

C'mon, what kind of question is this?
Bruce Lee's specialty was Martial Arts.
Muhammad Ali's was Boxing.
Doesn't look like any kind of match to me.

And the small factor that Lee is dead and Ali has a decise or something so he is shaking all the time, it would be a silly fight.

 

[Linh]

for argument's sake, i'm gonna go with lee

 

[damocles]

I would guess Don King would be the winner, somehow he would be there

 

[skywhr]

Not another one of these

 

[dcdomain]

LOL... good one Focusyn, stealing thread ideas... I would say Lee, cuz he can use his legs to fight too.

 

[Zucchini]

hehe talk about unfair if ali was limited to the rules of boxing

 

[MC]

bruce lee of course....he is faster

 

[Adul]

I think Lee would win. Hey would be too quick for Ali.

 

[Dedpuhl]

Bruce Lee's corpse could probably take Ali now :Q

 

[AvesPKS]

Bruce Lee would win, no contest.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Why would you even ask this question?! Let's see here: a dead man against a man who has to be reminded daily of how to balance on each leg in order to walk??


j/k. Ali has no chance. If that's not completely obvious, go rent Return of the Dragon.

 

[ManSnake]

$500 on Bruce!

Apples to ORanges comparison since the rules are different for both sports.

Didn't Ali or another boxer once challenge a wrestler to a match. What did the wrestler do? He got into a crab position and kicked the entire match. How you combine a sport that requires a knockdown with one that requires a pinning 3 count?

The same question applies to Lee vs Ali. Would kicking be allowed? Would slams be allowed? How do you declare a fighter down?

Of course I think that Lee would just launch a flying jumpkick and end it in 5 seconds.

Ok listen, Bruce Lee vs Anyone is pointless! Why? Because Bruce Lee is probably the best fighter in the entire history of mankind, period! There is no one person that could beat him in a 1 on 1 hand to hand combat situation. Hell, most people armed with weapons like bats can't beat him. If you wanna bring guns into it then that's another story... and would take no skill anyway. So stop asking, Bruce Lee is the man and was very quick and strong for his size and was the best at what he did.

 

[MustangSVT]

lol... rubix .. u know this how? i doubt lee is best FIGHTER that ever lived. you think cause he made movies and did those things that he is the best? I do agree he is damn fast and stuff, but he did not train to kill, he trained to fight. but then again this question was not serious anyways... i say Ants can beat anything for power/size proportion.

 

[dcdomain]

I'm with Mustang on the ants. Bruce Lee may have been the greatest "known" fighter in the modern world. But there were probably many better fighters/killers back in the day. Hell, they had to kill or be killed back in the old days. There are probably better fighters/killers in the real world now... they just not known to you... or they would have to kill you. Heheheh.

 

[KidViciou$]

lee is not THE best, try some of the shaolin monks, ancient ones. lee was just popularized.

 

[xaigi]

Ali: Less speed, but more patience.

 

[xaigi]

Ali would win: Less speed, but more patience.

 

[damocles]

I think it is very ignorant to claim that Bruce Lee is the greatest fighter ever.

We are pitting a TV hero (albeit a very classy one) vs thousands of years of warfare.

Re: Launching flying a kick to the head, it is unlikely any martial artist would do that early in a fight , it might be used to finish off a weary opponent- but its generally safer to stay on the ground
