This quote of yours implies that don't believe Bruce Lee to be a real martial artist and you are now in fact just covering yourself.

"Wong Fei Hong is an example of a REAL Martial artist"

By putting "real" in caps you imply Bruce Lee was not a martial artist.

Because I said he wasn't a real martial artist?

LOL I said he wasn't a legendary Martial Artist.

Way to put words in my mouth.

@NG No? Saying that is just ignorant

I've watched alot of Bruce Lee clips. Enough to know that in a fight he would beat any single martial artist or fighter that I know of. Tell me of a single martial artist or fighter that would beat a prime Bruce Lee. And tell me how.

The point was Bruce Lee is not a LEGENDARY MARTIAL ARTIST. Legendary Actor MA? Hell yes. I owe him big time for his contributions to cinema.. but would I ever put him as a legendary MA? No.

Also, Ali would hammer the ever living ***** outa bruce. Bruce was a TINY TINY man. Weighing very little, if it was boxing he'd be a feather weight/light weight. Now, a 'street fight' whatever the hell that is would mean Bruce could kick. Great, this is a very flawed argument, the amount of effort a kick requires is substanially greater than a punch. No kick bruce lee has is going to be faster than a punch of Ali's, plus ali has reach on Bruce regardless of him kicking. So Bruce kicks, Ali pops him in the face 3 times for it.

That leaves Bruce going up to punch, great. Ali's been hammered by men MUCH bigger than him. He also weighed 236 in his prime. Bruce Lee had this funny problem with putting heavier guys down because he was missing what he called "Stopping power" because he was a tiny guy. Combined with the fact that Ali's reach was superior and his footing was great.. Poor Bruce.

How many fighters went through a back injury proved doctors wrong and come out a better fighter? Not many. In a speed demonstration, he could snatch a dime off a person's open palm before they could close it, and leave a penny behind. He could single arm curl 70lbs to 80lbs 3 sets of 8 reps. He could do 50 reps on ONE ARM chin ups! Bruce was the first mixed martial artist. Don't disrespect a legend an icon and someone who pretty much changed and made fighting what is today.

You know that he weighed VERY Little right? his physical feats of power are only impressive to those who don't really understand.

He couldn't master Wing Chun.

He couldn't make it in the chinese Kung fu scene because they couldn't respect someone who can't even master Wing Chun. Plus, wing chun is not fancy enough really for Chinese Kung fu movies anyway.

50 chin ups with one arm? What about his fabled push ups with a thumb and index? Oh and him weighing 135 pounds. LOL. Don't try and flaunt that ***** it's not as impressive as you think

you CLEARLY don't respect Muhammad Ali if you think that he's slower than bruce.

Yes, he weighed very little. But that also would of given him less strength.
He couldn't master Wing Chun.... So what. He'd still destroy Ali.

And yes, I respect Ali. Just because Bruce Lee is obviously faster than him doesn't mean we don't respect him.

Obviously faster than him????

You can strike faster than the speed of light and it doesn't matter if it connects like a breath of air

Ali has a pretty famous saying.. You are prolly very familiar with it

Remember the cool part about STOPPING POWER I mentioned that bruce ADMITTED he had? Yeah.

Also, go look up how many muscles it takes to preform a kick, and give me some evidence that you can kick faster than a punch :3 I'll be waiting.

Size matters in a competition of full contact.. You need to remember this, Ali's reach was MUCH MUCH Greater than anything bruce had. He had 81 inches of reaching distance. That's enough to keep poor bruce outa kicking range

Now, you are once again taking the fact that bruce was not a proven martial artist in competition. He was an ACTOR FIRST AND FOREMOST AND IS REMEMBERED AS ONE.

The same reason that Jackie Chan is not known as one of the world's greatest Martial artists. He's more of a stunt man than he is a MA.. You guys.. Seriously.
