Roy Jones would get broken by Bruce Lee, It isn't even a question of if it would or would not happen but more of a how bad would it happen type question.

Bruce Lee grew up street fighting in Hong Kong. he then moved on to train with a martial arts master who revolutionized the art. he then dominated International Karate Championships

Bruce Lee would break Roy Jones into smithereens

House is a great show, but House would never do my surgery

Enter the Dragon was a classic. like seriously, one of the greatest kung fu flicks ever
but cmon son, bruce lee weighed 130 lbs soakin wet. he was in shape, and did pretty moves on camera

but we talking about a prize fighter who is a hall of fame boxer in (one of the) best eras in boxing

no, bruce doesn't win

he didn't even compete. he just made movies?

Its a difference between doing scripted beautiful kung fu moves on camera, and going out in a field and fightin yo

God Of War · 06-11-2013, 08:26 AM

Bruce Lee was a fighter though bro. He had to fight to get his martial arts to become an actual style. Bruce Lee fought his entire life and just check this out my G

7. Want to challenge Bruce Lee? Just tap your foot on the ground!
After he got famous, a lot of people thought they could beat Bruce - they would walk up to him, tap their foot on the ground (symbolizing a challenge) and then proceed to attack him! Well... maybe not that literal, but Bruce's popularity certainly attracted a lot nutcase trying to prove they're better than him.

One day, while filming Enter the Dragon, an extra taunted Bruce Lee and challenged him to fight. The whole thing went on like this:

"This kid was good. He was no punk. He was strong and fast, and he was really trying to punch Bruce's brains in. But Bruce just methodically took him apart."

"I mean Bruce kept moving so well, this kid couldn't touch him...Then all of a sudden, Bruce got him and rammed his ass into the wall and swept him, he proceeded to drop his knee into his opponent's chest, locked his arm out straight, and nailed him in the face repeatedly."

Typical of Bruce Lee, after the fight he didn't fire the extra - he actually gave his challenger lesson on how to improve!

8. Bruce Lee was Strong
In 1964, Bruce was invited to a karate championship in Long Beach, California. There he performed his famous "One Inch Punch," where he would deliver a devastating blow from only an inch away, sending his opponent flying back!

[YouTube Link]

Bob Baker of Stockton, whom Bruce hit, said "I told Bruce not to do this type of demonstration again. When he punched me that last time, I had to stay home from work because the pain in my chest was unbearable."

... and Fast!
Most martial art films are sped up to make fighting scenes appear fast, but not Bruce Lee's. His moves were too fast to be captured on the regular 24 frames per second film - so they had to film him at 32 fps, and run the film slower so you can see his moves.

What does this prove?

we know he's fast. the moves are scripted tho. even if they aren't scripted all the way thru, they're scripted to the point that you can't interrupt Bruce?

imagine Roy Hittin a speed bag? he would look mighty fast bro

and that extra wasn't on the level of Roy Jones Jr? If he was, we'd prolly at least know his name

I don't know why I'm going to explain to you why Bruce Lee would win but it's based on one thing. Roy Jones fought his whole career defending himself from someone's hands. Bruce Lee does more than that. He could wax Roy just with a kick. Unless you want to further explain your statement with "in a boxing ring" but even then, Bruce's hands were quicker than Roy's.

Plus man, he beat Chuck Norris and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. C'mon son.

no disrespect but chuck norris and kareem aren't 20% of Roy Jones put together

and no, I'm talking about outside in the street, like they got in an argument somehow and decided to throw down

Roy would wash Bruce. Bruce would get a few kicks in tho

but imagine that one time when he kicks his leg up and counters Bruce right in his DOME

I was fucking with you on that Norris / Jabbar shit.

I could see Roy winning every one to two times out of ten that they fought. I'll give Roy that, just because once in a while, he has to get lucky / catch him off guard, especially if this is a street fight.

Here's where we go into all these "what-if's" though..

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?

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

uh-oh · 06-11-2013, 08:29 AM

bruce lee fought a bunch of martial arts dudes

bruce lee would probably get him. i dont think it would be a one sided slaughter tho. prime roy jones was an animal. not sure about bruce lees grapple game. it would come down to bruce lees feet.

if he could keep away for A LONG TIME. then bruce lee could probably nitpick him

but i dunno YO

roy jones was one of the nastiest most efficient boxers of all time. im pretty sure he holds the record for NEVER being punched in a whole round of boxing. when he fought vinnie pazienza, vinnie was throwing at air for a whole round, while getting WORKED

roy jones is nasty

if bruce lee is efficient at grappling it could be alot different

but i could see both arguments

roy jones is also a giant compared to bruce lee.

yea, Bruce was only 130 man smh. he would LITERALLY get his head punched off

Joe Metts · 06-11-2013, 08:32 AM

Yall treating Roy like he's pernell whitaker tho.

He had offense and the quickest hands since ali.

EtH · 06-11-2013, 08:33 AM

I think you guys need to take into account that not only can prime Roy Jones really knock out any man with a perfectly placed punch, but that prime Roy Jones was MUCH heavier than Bruce Lee. Lee could win because it's a kickboxing match, but Jones only has to land one clean shot to win the fight.

I don't get all the hype on Bruce Lee. He's a beast martial artist, but Bren Foster has probably more martial arts credentials right off the bat. Bruce Lee was only as popular as he was through the movies. None of you know his fighting ability. Tony Jaa can rainbox kick about 3 times his height, can he use that in a fight? Probably not. Lee COULD have been the greatest fighter of all time, based on his work rate though. People always say "An MMA fighter could just take Bruce down and beat him up". 100% true, but that's because Bruce Lee wasn't an MMA fighter. You'd struggle to find anyone in the world with the training regime and ethic of Lee, so give him that specific style to train in, and he kills it.

Roy Jones wins by KO for me though. Size difference is too much.
