So you don't know schit about martial arts so instead you resort to mocking my username. lmao. You are just incredibly gullible. This is a quote from the director of enter the dragon and to quote you "This particular individual isn't the type to lie to get social media followers"

"Bruce knew he could never win a fight against Ali. 'Look at my hand,' he said. 'That’s a little Chinese hand. He’d kill me.'"

Alis "intercepting punch" as you call it, was not invented by Bruce Lee. That has been used by boxers for many many years prior to Ali using it.

Bruce Lee has never fought anyone with any level of skill. He allegedly boxed 4 bums who had losing records. This is even disputed.

I guess all the written down in text books accounts about Bruce Lee

And him kicking a grown man with such force and power that the person lands - ten to fifteen meters away from where Bruce Lee connected the one kick is just to pump up a another man.. You do realize that is the equivalent of around, thirty three feet all the way up to about fifty feet? I doubt any man today in boxing, mma, or any professional sport can do that with just one kick. And he garnered that type of respect when his reported weight was only around / 135 pounds.

LMFAO if you think he kicked a guy and he landed almost 50 feet away you are delusional. There is a video of him fighting online, the guy wouldn't last 30 seconds against any decent pro fighter in his weight class. There is a reason he refused to fight any of the top fighters of his day and there is also a reason none of the top fighters use Jeet Kune Do.

Umm, you do realize not everything in the world of hollywood is one hundred percent accurate right? Also your comment about the intercepting punch; Bruce Lee learned of the technique / And then he fine tuned it through practice of his own use of the technique. Then he was a teacher to Muhammad Ali, who proudly boasted that he utilized what Bruce Lee showed.

I guess based on your reactions here. That there will never be a better player in any given sport of profession especially if you think that the individual is dubbed the goat by you / your self.

You are delusional with your line of thinking. So, tell me who do you think is the best - professional athlete in any form of sport today that only requires; One man like yourself as the opponent to the best in the business, that you might have the same measurable too and/or a fighting chance against? Its the same as saying - Emmitt Smith fans saying he's the best running back ever because of his statistics. When everyone pretty much states that Jim Brown is the greatest to ever play the position. Jim Brown played in shorter seasons, in a era with less rules to protect the body. And its the actual current players, the media, and the all time greats that say this as well. Also Emmitt Smith states himself that Walter Payton was the better player.

I don't know what is so hard to comprehend. Given the struggle that the old school players of any type of sport had to go through. I heavily doubt these men would lie to the media, or basically lie to themselves, just for a thumbs up from the equivalent of a tmz stalker.

You are the one that is saying a ******* actor is the greatest fighter in history because in movies he beats up other actors. LMFAO.

Literally no one, except fat key board warriors, that wear fedoras think Bruce is the GOAT. Go to any MMA or boxing gym and mention that, and you will get laughed out of the gym.

Bruce Lee didn't teach Ali schit. He never even met him.

Khabib is probably the best fighter pound for pound right now. If we are talking about no weight classes then Stipe Miocic is the best fighter alive right now.

There's always going to be another up and comer that think their opinion matters like is gospel. In your case though, it might as well be a random un verified twitter alias.

You are a soft man. I mentioned actual athletes pertaining to the sport of football, and your first and only answer is a freaking actor. You are just **** stupid. You took the time to quote my entire thought, and that was the only thing you could think of, etc etc

Do you even have a diploma?

You are a poor reader. I mentioned that because you are over here trying to say an actor is the GOAT fighter of all time. Then when I said he wasn't you said its the same thing as comparing Jim Brown to Emmit smith. When in reality it is like comparing Keanu Reeves to Tom Brady.

"Stupid"

The actual real names though in that very quote were all football players.

That's a Bruce Lee documentary from 2011. Officially licensed to be sold on store shelves or sold online [Whatever]. If you skip to about, forty-two minutes into the video. Jon Jones decides to make a statement in the documentary about - Bruce Lee. I don't know about your opinion on Jon Jones.

But I doubt your going to go out of your way & talk to Jon Jones and say like he only wanted to appear in that video for publicity. You should seek Jon Jones out & show him that section in the video and state along the lines like; Stop lying, Bruce Lee was a fraud because such and such was saying this & that because he was in movies; He would most likely just beat you down; Which would be enough of a message to most I would hope.

He doesn't say schit about Bruce Lee. So I don't see your point. Bruce would be killed by Jones in 10 seconds if he dared step foot in the ring with him.

Brock Lesnar in his prime was the best fighter I’ve ever seen IMO
 


And this, the morale of what little men who try to trash talk on social media or real life. The Mike Tyson video is the usual case of the guy thinking he could get away with his bluff just because he's in front of cameras and a crowd.

Yes, both of those guys would mop the floor with Bruce Lee. Again, I don't see what your point is.

Literally, I can tell your a glass jawed boy.

Its a official documentary, meaning. Whoever filmed these individuals statements about Bruce Lee. Literally view him as a role model and/or inspirational type of man. Or also too; Having respect for those who retell real life, face to face encounters with Bruce Lee. That those who appear in media like a documentary. They all obviously talk to each other in person. And let their face and their dialogue make it in this particular video knowing that just because a younger generation wasn't a eye witness themselves.. That there is **** of a lot more truth than anything false,

Not everyone is all about a quick - 15 minutes of fame or literally just to make a quick shout out or whatever.

But hey, that saying "Seeing is believing" rings true for the insecure losers that populate.

I gotta disagree on that one, but at least he is a legit fighter. He would have obliterated Bruce Lee.

Bruce Lee??? Lesnar was a 270 lbs specimen with one of the tightest ground games the sport has ever seen.

He would have straight up murdered Bruce Lee in under 30 seconds.

Any MMA fighter could beat Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was a great martial artist and showman, but wrestling wins fights.

And I never rooted for Brock Lesnar. Hated him in fact. But before his injuries, he was the best mix of technique and athleticism I’ve ever seen.
