Don't even put them in teh same category.

People who say Seagal would win have NO idea what they are talking about. Granted Seagal DOES have skill and is not just a "movie fighter" - but Lee outclasses him immensly.

Uma>Lee>Norris>Eastwood>John Wayne>Lee Marvin>Ron Jeremy


........seriously, Jet Li said in an interview from, I believe, "Romeo Must Die" that the UFC guys from that movie would kick his ass. He was dead serious. He said he would have no chance. At least he's honest and ain't posturing that he's the cat's meow like that wannabe CIA/NSA wowan harrasser Seagal.

Lee. No doubt.

Seagal is good, yes. He's very good. However, he's really just a martial artist. I know at least a few people in real life that I would bet money they could take Seagal in his prime (granted they have both been in martial arts at least 30 years, but still).

Bruce Lee, however, dedicated his entire life to martial arts. He was in top physical shape, he lived martial arts, and was in the opinion of many, the greatest martial artist in, well... a long time.

So, em, yeah... Seagal would get slapped around, killed, owned, "omg hax".


Edit: I see a lot of people talking about Seagal's movies, and "did you see Seagal in insert_movie_here, he killed everyone"... There's a big difference between being able to take people in a street fight, and taking people in a movie. Special effects have made movies with completely unreal things in them (take Lord of the Rings, for example) and made them come to life and completely believeable (in the movie anyway).

They could make that fat kid dancing around with the broom edited to look like a light saber, beat up Bruce Lee, and make it believeable.

Lee = 23948290384
Seagal = 1

Counting losses?

Lee will own Seagal. Are you stupid?

No, you are the one who is stupid!

A monster like Alexander Karelin would tie them in a knot breaking about half thier bones before shot putting them about 40 ft.

The greatest wresler the world has ever known, 350 lbs, 3% body fat, runs for hours in thigh deep snow (like Aragron but for real), climbs 40 story buildings with a refigerator tied to his back, Etc..eg Super human.

No question Lee would kick Seagal's ass in short time. The real fight would be a contest between Lee and Norris in thier prime.

Seagal's method of combat is fairly crappy, so I say lee, although any UFC champion could school either of them. lee was not a God, and seagal was just a movie star.

Look, Seagal is a big fat slob! He doesn't need to do ANY thinking. If he thinks he is the best, there is a forum where he can prove that. It's called PrideFC. I haven't seen mister tough guy challenge any Pride fighters. Before Pride and UFC, movie martial artists could talk all they wanted to about how they were the best. But now, if you think you are the best, there is a place where you can prove it. Notice you've never seen these guys in these events. Why? Because they are all show. I LOVE Jet-Li and Jackie Chan. Their skills are AMAZING (and this is coming from a VERY critical person), but their movie moves don't really work all that well in real life. Yes, Jet-Li was a Kung Fu champion but you have to understand, he had weight divisions too. I commend Jet-Li for his honesty about the UFC fighters. Although UFC fighters are second rate to Pride fighters, they are still pretty tough. Jet-Li and Jackie Chan don't spout off who's asses they can kick. Only big fat slobs do...and fvcking little ass posers (Jean Claud Van Dam <= BIG fvcking pussy).

karelin really can and has done all of those things (except the body fat %). he's quick, but i doubt quicker than lee.

you have to remember that at the time of lee's death his warmup consisted of kicking a 325 lb bag around his back yard. he had gotten so strong that he had commisioned special steel dummies attached to high tension wires since he was just too strong to play with others.

maybe if you look at karelin's matches on videos and gauge the reaction time against the demos lee used to put out (not his hollywood movies) you could come up with a clear answer to that one. a close call and a good matchup. good call, zebo.

for you guys who think size matters you should check out the documentary on chi. they had a presentation where this 6'4 european martial arts master attacked this 80 something chi master in china. the old man held out his hand and totally took down the big dude. this is the secret behind most functional forms of kung fu. although its explanation is supernatural at best.

i saw this video in an upper division kinesiology class and was utterly amazed.

Bruce Lee would totally win.

Lee would win... It's a silly question in the first place. It'd be soooooo lopsided of a victory.
How about Norris vs. Seagal?
J. Chan vs. Jet Li? (I've been waiting for them to make a movie together...)
