Above The Law
Zagon said:first of all, this is about who is the greatest fighter. How else can you determine how 2 fighters stack up unless they were to fight, even if its hypothetical? This thought that they wouldnt have fought each other is true, but irrelevant.
Everyone having different styles is kind of the point. You have to imagine how Chuck Norris' fighting techniques would stack up against Inosanto's. Or how would Jet Li's speed help him in a fight against Gracie. And the whole thing about Bruce Lee, is he has no style. Jeet Kune Do “favors formlessness so that it can assume all forms and since Jeet Kune Do has no style, it can fit in with all the styles.”
This is why i'm having serious regrets about having engaged you in a conversation about fighting -- if you think size matters in a fight, respectfully, you obviously havent trained or been in any fights yourself.
Bruce Lee: "A powerful athlete is not a strong athlete, but one who can exert his strength quickly. Since power equals force times speed, if the athlete learns to make faster movements he increases his power, even though the contractile pulling strength of his muscles remains unchanged. Thus, a smaller man who can swing faster may hit as hard or as far as the heavier man who swings slowly.
The athlete who is building muscles though weight training should be very sure to work adequately on speed and flexibility at the same time. In combat, without the prior attributes, a strong man will be like the bull with its colossal strength futilely pursuing the matador or like a low-geared truck chasing a rabbit."
thank you.
So he deferred that time. And? That's your argument that he wasnt the best fighter of his time? That's weak. There are a hell of alot of people on record who saw firsthand Lee get challenged on an almost daily basis on his sets, and he wiped the floor with each and every one. This is fact.
That was fantastic, I couldnt have said it better than that! *Applaud*
