Im sorry man but I dont beleive any of that and im sure others agree. It really sounds like you dont know anything about the guy. I own all of his movies and interviews and he was a big inspiration to me when i was little and the made me start martial arts and later boxing.
The whole pupose of jeet koon do was to translate kung fu and others into street reliable ways of fighting. Bruce had to fight a man from china in order to get permission to teach non chinese people the art. He fought chinas best master and won but what he didnt like is that it took too long. So he started making his own style that cuts all the BS out and stickly left effective ways to strike. He was also a master at grappling

Both you and I have the same sort of evidence - someone's books, articles, films. What makes you feel that your information is more accurate, reliable? I read article from Chuck Norris's book about their sparrring. I learned about Bruce's loss from a documentary film about martial arts some 15 years ago (that is why I am not sure about details but do remember the subject matter)- they even showed that karate guy (a very respected karate master, follower of Oyama (founder of Kiokushinkai karate school)) and that book with Bruce' autograph, OK, may be, I misstated the exact wording, but it was something with that meaning. They also told about statistics of his unofficial fights. In fact, it could be all b***s**t, I can easily live with that, why you are so sure that your movies and other stuff are so genuine? For example, you said that Bruce beat all best Chinese kung fu masters - how could he do that in reality? Most of China (except for Hongkong) was a closed (in both directions) communist state at that time, how Bruce could physically meet all these masters from all around China ( Shaoline, for instance)? Is it a reasonable comment? All I want to say, you never can be sure about Bruce true abilities, while Ali's abilities are truly well documented.
I guess that you know that Jet Lee (his original name Li Lian-jie) is a five time champion of China in kung-fu (wushu), which is equal to world championship. He is a true proven master of kung fu, but, do you believe in all that flying and other funny s***t that he does in his movies? I hope not really. He is a master of martial arts but not to the degree that it shown in the movies, the same with Bruce, he was a master, but not a god of martial arts, or something.. How can you deny even a chance of winning by prime Ali, with all his natural speed, reflexes and athletic abilities?
