Say like when Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's ear off? That, we at least have evidence of.

You have to love the Internets. You can post whatever BS you like and hope others believe your BS.

Lee was very much the real deal as well. He rocked and pissed off the traditional martial arts establishment by dispensing with all of the convention, mysticism and other hooey and focusing on real world fighting techniques that worked. His form was not limited to any one style or discipline and he embraced the best of everything from boxing and grappling to judo and wing chun. He had many unscripted scraps with challengers on movie sets and on the street, but they usually didn't much resemble his movie fight scenes. He often used arm and leg trapping and pre-blocking techniques and generally pummelled the traditional karate/kung-fu guys without much difficulty.
Norris is a tough, formidable dude and an accomplished competitive fighter, but his style was limited and he likely would have endured a whupping against the faster, deadlier, more advanced and versatile Lee. Sort of like a Cobra on a road course against a C7 Z06 (just to keep the discussion relevant, of course

)

You know as much about this as you do about Cobras my friend, but your tenacity is beginning to grow on me (my wife says scrubbing with a mild peroxide solution can take care of that though

). Norris was only actually a champion in "point Karate" in which full force contact was penalised. He never competed in full contact fighting in which your conditioning and ability to absorb punishment is just as important as being able to dish it out.

CSX3170 neutralises the Cobra vs. Z06 comparison, but that's no ordinary Cobra

I never said I know Cobras but I do know a hot rod when i see one.

back to Norris v Lee. This 'fight' has been talked about more than the "Chevy v Ford" wars.
Chuck Norris is the bigger, stronger, more Knock Out power. don't believe what you saw in "The Way of the Dragon."
Next lie is Kareem Abdul Jabbar couldn't beat Bruce Lee in a tournament fight. length

again, in a street fight, no rules, hands down bet on Bruce.

And besides - even though the small-block, leaf-sprung Cobra actually won the races, it's the more awesome and fearsome looking 427 that is responsible for the Cobra's enduring appeal.

Chuck Norris does not do pushups, he pushes the Earth up and down! Reminds me one night I took my Chevy powered HotRod that is shaped like a Cobra, out for a spin. I pulled into this bank parking lot ,just to turn around. The Earth moving noise and power shook the bank so much it set off the alarms. Police were there in a flash which led to a lot of fast talking.

How do you think that would've gone down if you had an FE under the hood?

Yes but Bruce did it with one hand and two fingers.

I heard about that feat, but never saw a picture. Notwithstanding you can't see the person's face, that's freakin' impressive. The finger and core strength to pull that off, is "other worldly." Wow!

It helps when you only weigh 128 lbs.

Lee's weight at his peak was generally reported to be in the 130-145 pound range, but it was all hard working muscle and sinew. Most 250 pound men don't have 128lbs of functional muscle on their skeletons.

I was going by his weight at time of death which was 128 lbs. When filming the Big Boss, he only weighed 124 lbs. Most of his movies he was at a buck thirty. At times did he weigh more, absolutely. I remember when he had gained a bunch of weight from weightlifting and didn't like how it impacted his speed and movement.

I don't think anyone can doubt he was all muscle and sinew. How healthy it is to try and maintain that low % of body fat all the time is another topic (at least that's my excuse

). Cheers.

No point arguing with NFG - thats like trying to win a farting contest against a whoopee cushion

I guess in the end Chuck outlasted Bruce but both were tough dudes.

NYG VERSUS REAL1.

I actually prefer NYG! He can take a licking and keep on ticking without resorting to name calling.

I agree but for a different reason. NYG's nonsense is short and brief. Evan writes novels when he posts and utilizes verbiage from more than a decade ago.

Time is of the essence. If you post crapola, then at least make it quick reading.
