Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
This shows just how much you know about Bruce Lee which is nothing. Bruce was not just an actor. Do you think he was picked up in movies for his amazing acting skills? Um no. Lee was apart of a street fighting gang back in China called the "Tigers of Junction Street". Just because Bruce never entered any world championship matchs doesnt mean he wasnt the best in the world. Lee knocked out Uechi a japanese black belt karateka in 11 seconds in a 1962 full contact match in Seattle. I could go on and on with these stories but you get the point. Tho I'm sure everyone will bash me for sayin this but Bruce Lee had considerably quicker hand speed than Pacquiao, (just look at both mens tapes) and thats not even bringin his feet into the picture. Almost forgot this was a boxing thread.![]()
HTH. Bruce Lee was the real shit. What are you talking about? He would give Pac a massive internal bleeding with a single 4" punch around the turso area.
Ok being serious here for a sec.
Boxing have always proven its worth in real fights. There are many Martial Arts that are shit in real fights, MMA has proven that. Muay Thai and Boxing are the truth when it comes to real fights. Many of these other striking arts are more like dances than worthful fighting styles.
Bruce Lee is the only actor who is willing to actually fight anybody for real to prove his true fighting skill. It may not be super martial arts when he actually does fight but IMO he would be a tough fight for anybody. It may not be like the movies but Bruce was always fit and fast but who knows how well he can take a punch or brake off a clinch and submissions. As much as people would like to tell all these stories about Bruce Lee....there is still a lot of myth behind him.
If Bruce Lee vs Manny Pacquiao would happen, it could be as quick as a single punch from Pacquiao.
My money is on Bruce Lee.
He could make Manny stand with his stance completely front on, put a chair behind him so that he can't move his back leg out and then knock him off balance by pushing him backwards an inch or two.
Sorry... I typed that wrong... what I meant to say was that Bruce Lee could generate so much force with only a one inch punch that he'd knock Manny over...
there is a reason you will never see footage of this being done when
a) the guy being hit is in a martial arts stance (ie a boxing stance(
b) he doesn't have a chair behind him
Anybody who can look at the feet in this video (ignore the upper body) and then choses not to see what is going is is a fanboy!
No, that's not why we say pactard... those statements are known to be true... pac can beat anybody providing that a fighter is shop worn/weight drained/old/over hyped enough to share a ring with him!
maybe Roach will actually dig up the corpse of bruce lee or pay muhammad ali to fight pac?
pac deserves his dues... but the term 'pactard' comes when people go a step or two past that and idolize him like some sort of god.
Jeet kune do seems to do just fine in the octagon , I saw a fast ko by one just last night on best ko's. A double knee to the chin left right leap.Forget the guy already but they introduced him as a Jeet kune do practitioner.
There is a jealousy toward favored styles, that's really quite strange, its like trying to prove someone wrong in one situation automatically makes your style dominant and correct. It just isnt so.
Think: if a fighter stays on his toes and another is a competent front kicker, leg kicker, sweeper; which one on average is likely to be going down with the added reach in leg contact being first before contact arm range?.
Think again : if a fighter is only into wrestling grappling and leans forward into a guy who is on his toes who can move and bang like a boxer in perfect timing (whos going down this time around).
Then think no rules, bare fists being outreached by fingers into eyes and legs involved first for added reach. the dude who makes a fist is out reached in two ways and his eyes are going to be watering at the very least.
Different fight rules suit different styles.
Its one tool for one job / one tool for another,
Ya just have to eventually get over being 'a real tool' for just one job.![]()
Of course I will knock out Pacquaio with my Jet-Kundo( I even don't know how to spell my karate style). LOL

i don't want to sound like a fanboy or anything. i used to practice JKD which got me to try out other arts, including boxing. it's my way of, spiritually speaking, taking a path to the truth. study the art as a whole, deviate from it and study aspects individually, then returning to the whole in anewer perspective. anyway, that's a whole different story.
my point for replying to this post about the one inch punch is that he didn't do it in his demos to show that "he just needs a punch to knock you down." that wasn't the point. he was trying to demonstrate how a punch should come from the ground up and you had to put your hip into it. he was showing how not to do an arm punch.
and to the ones saying that all he did were flashy moves in his movie. that's true. even he said it himself that what he does in his movies are flashy and that if he got in a real fight, it wouldn't look like that. he said it was gonna look ugly and not flashy at all because he was going to do all means necessary to leave unharmed.
Yeah, at the most its a demonstration of stance and balance versus no stance and no balance. It is not a physically impressive act of power, as it is seen by most lee fanboys.
("omg he could liquify your sternum with a 1 inch punch!!" um, no... He couldn't)
Cocking the wrist and firing it off that way onto the end of the movement; Bruce got that from the Wing Chuns Bil Gee form, the final form you learn. "finger thrusting form" . Its quite deadly when you hit the soft spots on someone, the spots with no muscle behind them.
the 1 inch punch or the finger thrust has been tested in the tv show sports science. it generated very little power.
