Could a best of Bruce Lee beat any person in the world in fighting?

Question

I know he's dead; but if he was alive and the best of himself, could he beat any man in the world--thats including any man in the United States cities or town's ghetto area.

Answer 1

Hmmm although I'm a fan of Bruce Lee ,I've always believed that there is always someone better some where ,more so these days with advanced training methods and technology etc.

But as far as i'm led to believe no one has surpassed Bruce regarding reaction time and speed but we're now 35yrs on since his death so who knows :)***

Answer 2

He might struggle with a few people.  

You don't see the best of him in movies.  The fights in movies are strung out to last longer.  He keeps getting hit in the movies.

Real fights might last just a few seconds, and involves blood, snot and broken bones, but you won't see that in the movies.

He was the best martial arts celebrity however.

Note: if the question was asked sarcastically, then please communicate your sarcasm more AFFECTIVELY.

The short answer would be: I don't know and I don't care!

Note Note: your profile does not indicate your age or maturity.  Should I upset people by assuming a sarcastic question is genuine, or should I upset people by assuming a genuine question is sarcastic?

Answer 3

Geez, I kind of liked Brendan more than Bruce, he had a sense of humor.  For every movie tough guy we have heard of there are 100 soldiers that face death in close quarters and hand to hand combat daily.   But that is not relevant to this discussion.

I think the fight I would've loved to see would be Jet Li v Bruce Lee.  Jet is well versed in wushu, internal and external styles, I think that would've been really cool.

In Cradle 2 Grave, Jet spoke the line "I'm not Bruce", well he isn't, he's better

Answer 4

he'll lose against hulk hogan.

Answer 5

anderson silva is not only the top 185 lb fighter in the world but has been uncontested by any other fight league's champ and he has plowed through the best the UFC could throw at him, even top heavyweights trying slim down to his class. He's reigned for a while now I think he's not going anywhere even if conjured up a duplicated Lee in top form and in a Jeet Kune Do, Val tudo, MMA, Muay Tai or any other fight without weapons. Silva is the best fighter I've ever seen. I've seen a lot.

Answer 6

no IM SOOOO TIRED OF THIS QUESTION,,Bruce Lee would get owned by a lot of people today.

Answer 7

You ask a question in a supposedly serious forum, then criticize somebody for answering you seriously? Apparently your sarcasm is a bit too subtle, or else your sense of humor is simply lacking.

Try clown college.
