thank you. this was starting to get ridiculous

you tellin me this little dude can beat HOF Boxers of our generation???

like cmon yall sound silly.

y'all need top get off his D

1. aren't you metts?

2. Boxing > Martial arts (opinion of most active fighters regardless of style)

3. Bruce Lee was not the greatest Martial Artist ever, man, he ain't even close

4. RJJ was not the greatest boxer ever

no its because i know what im talking aboutt, bruce lee had tons of fights, not to mention trained with some of the best grapplers there ever was. even people like bill superfoot wallace and shit still say bruce lee was the best fighter they ever seen because he was trained in so many different styles and he constantly had to fight.

roy jones can box thats it and thats all he would do. size has nothing to do with your ability as a fighter i dont give a fuck what yall say thats dumb as shit, speed, strength etc has much more to do with it then your size.

if you don't know what the dude done or accomplished how could you actually speak on it like you do know?

I don't even give himt hat bro cuz lee was much more of a street fighter,

You guys aren't taking in account the RIDICULOUS strength of a professional boxer either. There's a reason people said if James Toney, one of the worse current popular boxers in the world, landed on Randy Couture, it was over. Jones lands ONE punch on Lee, Lee is out.

Gene LeBell would have been the grappler to mention. But you really think Bruce Lee would want to grapple with a man twice his size, and a man who could knock him out in one punch? Show me ANY proof that Bruce Lee was a big time successful fighter, beyond speculation. He diffidently had a few fights. A few fights Vs one of the best prime boxers of all time.

bullshit, lee was known as a combat fighter, fought in tons and tons of exhibitions around the world and etc. jones wouldnt even hit lee

well these aren't what ifs:

- Bruce Lee has 0 professional experience fighting

- Roy is a HOF professional boxer

- Roy Jones Jr's first 50 fights he finished 49-1, with the 1 loss coming when he wouldn't stop punchin someone. that means he fought 50 other professional fighters, like you kno, not extras on a movie set, but grown men looking to win money, he beat all of em with no problem

- Roy would have 30-40 pounds over Lee

- Roy would have several inches of Reach over Bruce

- Roy would be in better FIGHTING (notice I said fighting) shape than Lee

- Roy Jones would be the fastest competitor Bruce Lee ever saw irl

- Roy won a belt 20 different times in his career, ranging through different weight classes, fighting all different sizes and speeds/strengths present in one of the most competitive eras of boxing



there's no way that this guy who is over matched and did mostly movie kung fu, would "destroy" one of the greatest fighters ever in the world, simply because he made Enter the Dragon

Metts seems to acknowledge his lack of fighting experience but for some reason doesn't see that as a factor when comparing the two?

Bruce lee had hundred of exhibition fights, nto to mentionw hy would dudes like superfoot,chuck norris, etc say that bruce lee was the best fighter they ever seen? wtf would they have to lie for.

superfoot himself said that bruce lee studied and knew many different ways to fight a man that he was a combat fighter

thats wrong, jeet kun do fighters is known to have the fastest speeds in professional fighting including boxing. plus lee was alot faster then jones

nigga that sounds insae. yes he would hit lee


and where are these exhibitions? you're making stuff up gow

Im not trap man.

Just cause were from md?

Aren't you butler, fake frac and richard corey.

Y'all are black. Makes sense.

Okay, I'm going to pick out some flaws in your theory here.

Roy Jones was strictly a boxer. He could punch, yes but he wasn't versatile.
Your opinion really comes out from the fact being Roy Jones was 'Bigger' than Bruce Lee... and yes, he was. However, Bruce Lee WAS versatile. He trained martial arts in a way that could defend him from the BIGGEST of opponent. Size wouldn't matter because he was trained to stand up to ANYONE. Technique plays a big part in a fight.. If you haven't got technique then 9 times out of 10 you will lose. You can't charge into an army of soldiers without a shield and expect to NOT get stabbed. Bruce Lee HAD technique and he also had MORE speed than Roy Jones in his prime. Bruce Lee holds a record of punching faster and kicking faster in 1967 than ANY man on the planet. It was recorded that his famous 'One Inch Punch' was three times more fatal than a 30mph head-on car crash. That IS fact. Roy Jones' accolades doesn't even start to compare to Bruce Lee's.

Any man can punch and knock someone out if they hit the right spot. Not every man is versatile ontop of being able to punch three times harder than a 30MPH head-on car crash.

ALSO - you say Bruce Lee wasn't a fight... he was just in movies...

Think to yourself... Why was he in movies? Why did people want him to star in movies? How did he get noticed?

Because of his fighting and incredible combat/fighting techniques/style.

GoW, eddies obviously trollin somewhat

but if you honestly believe bruce lee could just handle roy jones like its nothing you are fooling yourself or dont know roy jones

granted if bruce lee knows judo or whatever which im sure he does, it could be a quick fight. but striking wise you could give bruce his speed quickness etc. roy's speed SIZE strength, REACH and quickness would body him.

roy jones would look like a giant next to him, and he is extremely quick and agile

if bruce lee was leg kicking and shit and locking up to throw him then word he'd probably get him. but he'd have to get close to roy. which he probably could lets be real. he's a little dude probably shoots quick as fuck

if it was a standup match tho i'd bet the house on roy, even knowing all he has in his repertoire is his hands

Jackie Chan had slick movies. He'd beat Vlladamir Klitschko i bet.

but you forget he may not of been a professional boxer but lee studied boxing also for many years, bruce lee had speed and power. as evolve said roy jones would get fucked up

u can knock roy jones out so saying "if he hit him right" like everyone else said is crazy cuz if any one hits anyone right there done for lol

yo to be honest

im terrified of black people from florida

I ain't saying he wasn't, pay attention

Roy jones had without doubt one of the fast set of hands, period. that we can't argue

without gloves on he would be faster. Lee might edge him out, but it ain't like it would be a drastic difference in a street fight

I think you confuse shadow boxing and kicking dudes while they're standing there holding pillows as having fast hands during combat.

But let's say Lee is faster. that is LITERALLY the only advantage?

Jones would have size, strength, and experience by a long shot.

and to really think Roy wouldn't even hit him? really? someone who is a HOF box, middle weight mind you, won;t have the craftiness to hit someone with no hands

and Bruce Lee had no hands/guard. I've seen ton of vids with him on a heavy bag

he's only gonna be able to lean and twist but so much and having a disadvantage in size and strength I see him gettin gassed first too, noticeably

Show me some proof of the exhibition fights.

Ali would probably say Frazier was the best fighter he's ever seen. What difference does that make?

No it doest. Speed can be trained, but is also relative. When you take Capoeira and Tae Kwon Do, and even some more abstract arts like Snake style into account, many of the trainers would be faster than Bruce Lee. That's not trying to discredit Jeet Kun Do or Lee, he was insanely fast. It's just not as concrete as you make it sound. Yeah, Lee was MUCH faster than Jones, and for his weight class, Jones was one of the fastest of all time (another size thing though).

Bruce Lee COULD win. A side kick to the stomach would be hard as fuck for Jones to defend, given that he never has had to, and with the speed and power Lee puts into it, Jones might be in trouble. The problem is though, Lee was a small guy. To land his side kick, he's have to be pretty close. Jones would land the overhand right and probably take it.

Actually, Lee would almost def with. I think it would be one technique that would take it without too much effort, the knee strike. Jones, like all boxers, has small legs. Lee could cover up, throw in a knee stomp or side kick, and probably break or at least hyper extend it.

nah i get it and like i said earlier i think bruce lee would win just because he could control where the fight goes

if it was a standing striking match, i don't care if bruce lee was a quadruple black belt in every martial art there is, roy jones would body him.

but bruce lee would dominate everywhere else. from the clinch, judo throws, from the ground etc.

so in a street fight, bruce would probably win. he'd get on him like clay quida, stick to him and put him out.

in a sanctioned kickboxing type match that allows knees elbows, headbutts basically everything BUT grappling. i got roy jones all day, somewhat easily.

im sure bruce lee was strong, but he'd be the one in need of that lucky punch or kick
