Tyson vs Bruce Lee

By Steven Moody January 25, 2016 Leave a Comment

mike-tysonIn a recent Maxim article, we got another glimpse at the older, wiser, more philosophical Mike Tyson.

They asked him if he could have beaten Bruce Lee in his prime.

He diplomatically dodged the question (I think the answer is pretty obvious..cough…one hundred pound weight difference) and said “Bruce Lee was really a street fighter…(who said) “I don’t believe in grappling, because I equate grappling with being on the floor and I equate being on the floor with being stomped.”  Tyson said “We talking about killing, not no championship. We not fighting to see who’s better, we fighting to see who survives.”

He also had some interesting things to say about Conor MacGregor vs Floyd Mayweather.

“Styles don’t win fights, morale wins fights. Mayweather is the type of fighter that avoids punishment. I don’t think Floyd would like Conor grabbing him. The boxing gloves they have make them more vulnerable than anything. And Floyd wouldn’t be able to fight with them gloves.”

He finished with a statement I wish more people would understand is more true than any of us want to admit.  ” You can be the greatest of the great, and then you can really suck at times.”  This is the ultimate answer to these if X fought Y questions.   First of all, weight is a big, big deal in fighting.  So you have to be realistic.  But when it comes down to it, fighting is all about who does what on the day.

If we are talking about a survival fight, all bets are off.

Maybe Tyson outweighs Bruce Lee by 100 pounds (of muscle) but maybe Bruce Lee gets a hold of a pool cue.  Now there’s a fight we can see in Ip Man 4!

Subscribe to my list and get a FREE DOWNLOAD of my short book Wing Chun Mind

NOTE: Since setting up this list over a year ago, I have never sent anything out to it! So basically its just a mechanism to distribute this book, at the moment.

My goal with this book was to help beginner's get a grasp of Wing Chun and how best to approach it in their training -- and to help everyone benefit from my experience, which has taught me how important mindset is to all fight training -- the book is about forty pages long -- I hope it helps!

Hi. I'm Steve, a professional researcher. I started learning Wing Chun Kung Fu in 2000. Since then, I've trained with some of the best Wing Chun teachers in the world (including Greg LeBlanc and Gary Lam) and done hundreds of hours of research into fight science. This website contains the best of what I've learned. Contact: [email protected]
