Happens to all of them that don't realize it...and the fact your stamina goes along with it regardless of how you look without someone putting pressure on you. Having said that, I don't wanna see Mike keep taking these fights at his age. All it's gonna do is fuck up what little he has left of his legacy.
@@SalikCollins That's really my whole point. No one is giving him pressure, and he's not struggling for air. I never watched Paul to know if he can do all that, but sooner or later Mike is gonna face that. Also Mike is just "sorta" quick right now. If he faced a younger professional fighter right now, I doubt he would land many punches...and worst of all, he wouldn't even see some that would catch him.
No one ever trash talks Bruce Lee. We just never got to see him actually fight, and it's not fair to pretend from training videos, how effective he would have actually been. Anyone can "pop you a few times", cmon.

If you see al Bruces movies and you then swith over to nowadays fightmovies you see that nowadays movies are soooo slick with editing and still they are like wooden figures, if you compare to Bruce smooth fast actions, then you see the difference , bruce gave everything of himself in every action scene , expressing his whole soul into it, like actors do in love scenes etc, you never cant fake that, there still are people think bruce was just an actor , no he was superhuman legend
Bruce was extremely attuned with his intuition very little was talked about, when he sat in a restaurant he would predict what the person was going to do before they did it. The goal was to predict an opponent then to counter the move, He was so fast that not only did he counter the move he already hit the guy several times during the counter of the opponent and what was behind his incredible speed was incredible power a blow that was like a speeding baseball hitting you upside your head that ended the fight.
You like a lot of people on here are over mythologizing him. Please point to a video link where he actual hit a guy several times during a counter. Nobody can do that. Mayweather , Leonard or Tank Davis have never done that and they are fast. Stop confusing good movie choreography with real life.

"Michael Jai White seriously thinks he could beat up Bruce Lee" - Boy, Bruce Lee would take him down and choke his ass out to sleep. In an instant. Seriously. End of story.
Also, Mike has always been into kung fu movies for years, & if I remember I think his favourte kung fu movie is Alexander Lo Rei's Shaolin Chasity Kung Fu.
I've beaten many guys 150 pounds heavier than me. I've heard these arguments many time. But look. If you can't get to me, if you can't grab me, if you can't hit me. Then it doesn't matter if you are 10 tons. same with grapplers. No matter what, you're going to need to approach me. if I clip you just right as you try to tackle, or go down you're going down. Suddenly, all that means nothing.
Bruce Lee is the reason we are martial arts fans. No need to pretend he could walk on water . He left an amazing legacy of films and fighting philosophy for us to ponder. Time marches on and everything evolves including fighting techniques. He would be the first one to point that out.
Ninja Turtles, Three Ninjas, Power Rangers, Fighting Games etc are the reasons I’m a martial arts fan and martial artist. I didn’t know who Bruce Lee was until after I’d absorbed all of those aforementioned media. My dad had to tell me who Lee was and he embellished a lot. Speak for yourself!

Weight classes are only for rules and regulation fighting. Street fighting is where it doesn't matter. It really doesn't even matter with rules and regulations!
It’s surprising to me that as big and mean Mike Tyson was back in the day he respected Bruce Lee as a fighter. This shows that no matter how big, small, light, or heavy you are, if you hit hard you hit hard.
What he said is being completely misrepresented. The question and answer was specifically about him in the heavyweight division. Not about brave Lee fighting men 100lb heavier.
Michael Jai has, for awhile, been on a Begging For Attention Tour and is so frustrated he’ll NEVER be seen as the greatest in anyone’s eyes except his own.
What matters here is the size of the AREA the fight takes place in. The larger the "ring" the better for Lee. At a certain point, it becomes an advantage to be smaller and faster and able to ambush and use coordination etc. If a 20' ring, then that could be an issue. This also depends on what the style and rules for the fight are. Even if no rules, the larger the size of the ring, the better for quick, devastating attacks. Remember, if you cannot be hit, it does not matter the size of the opponent
Anyone who has fought knows that size matters. Boxing and fighting are two different things. Especially when it gets over 40 pounds difference it makes a big impact
Size does matter. Thats why they have weight classes. Bruce lee was an actor. Most ufc guys and boxers would destroy him in a real fight. He's still my favorite martial arts actor.
Bruce was superhuman , thats why he looked like a shredded fly stinging like a killerbee , pure mental extreme body overpower , nobody could get close to his speed and power
You know what's fascinating, even with the size Brucelee is he's always compared to heavyweights or fighters twice his size, no one needs to compare him with his own weight class cause he's just to powerful for his own class, thats why it's always heavyweights comparing and convincing themselves that size matters, because they literally can't fault Brucelee in any other aspect other than size, Bruce has the same punch power has a heavyweight, the lowest resting heart rate to ever be recorded meaning his endurance, stamina and speed is just gonna be uncomparable to anyone else due to his cardiovascular performance, he's an all rounder and the best there ever was and for sure ever will be in the future, Brucelee is the legend 😁
I'll give mjw his flowers, he's awesome. If Bruce was alive he'd defend himself. But he isn't. For mjw to say he could beat Bruce is highly disrespectful. Mjw also failed to realise that few of Bruce lee students, his wife, daughter are still alive. To assume Bruce is just an actor. He failed to acknowledge what Bruce has done. Instead of sitting with chuck Norris who is 84 and has trained with Bruce or Kareem Abdul jabbar who was Bruce's student, his wife who Bruce met and trained when he came to America. Dan inosanto who till this day runs Bruce's jeet kune do school. Funny how you listen to joe louis talk about bruce yet mjw said joe louis was his mentor but failed to ask joe about Bruce's legitimacy. Mjw didn't acknowledge these people but came up with his own conclusion that Bruce was small and not a martial artist. I'm from Nigeria. Many will tell you size doesn't matter. Lots of small most times beat up big dudes..... Size literally doesn't matter in most African countries.... Tyson is also proof of size not mattering as he's bested tall dudes.
One White never said Bruce was not a martial artist. Two Tyson is in the same weight class as the taller people he beat. Same weight class. What’s Newton’s second law of motion?
@@dietrich8820 Go and listen to the Vlad interviews. Not only does he say Bruce was small and Bruce couldn't beat him , he dismisses him also as a martial artist too. Second, Tyson's weight isn't what I'm talking about, am talking about height not weight....Tyson is three inches taller than me but we weigh the same
well you tell him that to his face. Then see his speed and how fast he can put you down. He has 8 or 9 Black belts and trains daily. LOL hollywood tough guy?
I use to not understand why people use to say growing up u need gain weight. I was skinny all my life at 64 height, but fast. I remember off of instinct I put 7 blows on someone's face before he can react. This guy was bigger than me, and my skinny knuckles put damage on his face. That's when I realize if you thin but portion with height, you can put a lot of damage. I see bruce punching that bag is exactly what I did out of instinct & frustration I was thinking but more cut in shape once i got in gym.
nah thats bs. whats he gon do when two guys are tackling him at the same time. your either 12 or 15, or your 50 and havent fought at that level a single time in your life. bruce is the goat because of his impact not because he was the greatest fighter.
I’ve known, experienced, and said that many times in my life. Only people that don’t know how to fight think size matters. They don’t like it, but it’s a fact no matter what they like or think.
Lee had utmost respect and love for Muhammad Ali and went as far as to study his fights in mirrored view by actually reflecting his fight clips in a screen size mirror so Ali would appear to be a southpaw. Reason being Lee favored the southpaw stance because he wanted his fastest and strongest hand in the front yet believed that the left, although weaker, could be trained to be a knockout punch. Most of the sauce hurled at Lee has to do with his lack of ring fights although he actually was a master and trained tirelessly, 7 days a week and sometimes multiple times a day. He had multiple students and none went to him to become ring fighters, but for self defense. Which kinda makes sense as he advocated the use of any physical means to win a fight including eye gouging, throat strikes, groin strikes, elbow strikes, rabbit punches, fish hooking, head butting, biting, stomping, etc. Unarmed fighting against weapons was a no-no and understood a trained knife fighter could kill you and suggested running unless you had a weapon yourself. His Tao of JKD clearly states the groundwork for any fighting art should include boxing, grappling (he used the word wrestling), and footwork (he used fencing towards this means). The man was indeed ahead of his time.
@@Bladerunner39 Before weight classes were invented in boxing, there were cases of men in lower weight classes easily beating men in higher weight classes. It is not common, but it happens.
When every martial artist in the world gets inspiration from Bruce Lee Michael Jai White would get utterly embarrassed like every other martial artists who went against Bruce Lee
Bruce was very good for his era and the amount of knowledge around at that time. But most give him respect to honor his legacy rather than being realistic about how he would fare vs any decent modern day mma fighter. Now if Bruce was a young man today he would have been very good with modern training and more grappling experience.
Size may not matter in Bruce Lee's case, we will never know, but it does matter in general. If it wouldnt, there would be no weight categories in combat sports.
Bruce Lee was still a human, and therefore human rules still apply to him, his fanboys treat him like he was some kind of fighting god that came down from heaven. It’s creepy and borderline cult behavior.
Bruce is still human, and therefore is still confined to human limitation. His cult following treat him like some unbeatable fighting master, who was sent down from heaven by God himself, and it’s beyond annoying. I love Bruce, but c’mon, we need to be realistic here.
Lol omg Mike tyson was asked who'd win if he fought bruce lee ?? Tyson replied it won't be a fight. As it'll be like fighting Floyd may weather I'd kill him
It’s so easy to say that about a man who passed away many years ago when they didn’t have social media like that I’ll m not saying Bruce Lee wasn’t a bad man, but nobody not being able to be home. That’s a little far-fetched.

The goal was to predict an opponent then to counter the move, He was so fast that not only did he counter the move he already hit the guy several times during the counter of the opponent and what was behind his incredible speed was incredible power a blow that was like a speeding baseball hitting you upside your head that ended the fight.
You like a lot of people on here are over mythologizing him. Please point to a video link where he actual hit a guy several times during a counter. Nobody can do that. Mayweather , Leonard or Tank Davis have never done that and they are fast. Stop confusing good movie choreography with real life.
@@garyparker7348 Wrong! Boxers do this as well!
@@kryptonite7936Either send a link to the video of him or anyone doing that or SHUT UP!
@@garyparker7348 Any Intelligent person can find several videos of a boxer or octagon fighter of another repeatedly hitting another multiple times in a row! Grow up Shill!
"Michael Jai White seriously thinks he could beat up Bruce Lee" - Boy, Bruce Lee would take him down and choke his ass out to sleep. In an instant. Seriously. End of story.
Also, Mike has always been into kung fu movies for years, & if I remember I think his favourte kung fu movie is Alexander Lo Rei's Shaolin Chasity Kung Fu.
Frankly his speed is so fast that when slowed down to 1/4 speed it becomes very fast. Simply another level not often seen on earth.
And this video and comment section is why Michael Jai White said he wished he never said he could've beaten Bruce Lee 😂
Facts size does matter I respect Bruce Lee a lot but let's real
Yeah it's hard to account for idiotism (my made up word).
I love Bruce as much as the next guy but there's a lot delusional people in these comments
@@rodricjohnson5950 funny part is they are grown ups...like most of them are in their 50s🤣🤣🤣
@@wambokodavid7109 yeah there's a lot of hot takes in here
Bruce Lee was untouchable quoted by Jim Kelly and there was no doubt it.
100 pound advantage is like bullying a child
Not if child is legendary fighter
Did you not see Gohan vs Raditz??!
@@ryanking8714 That's fictional, lol.
@@ArranVid Reality is stranger than fiction
I've beaten many guys 150 pounds heavier than me.
I've heard these arguments many time. But look.
If you can't get to me, if you can't grab me, if you can't hit me.
Then it doesn't matter if you are 10 tons.
same with grapplers. No matter what, you're going to need to approach me.
if I clip you just right as you try to tackle, or go down you're going down.
Suddenly, all that means nothing.
Bruce Lee is the reason we are martial arts fans. No need to pretend he could walk on water . He left an amazing legacy of films and fighting philosophy for us to ponder. Time marches on and everything evolves including fighting techniques. He would be the first one to point that out.
Ninja Turtles, Three Ninjas, Power Rangers, Fighting Games etc are the reasons I’m a martial arts fan and martial artist. I didn’t know who Bruce Lee was until after I’d absorbed all of those aforementioned media. My dad had to tell me who Lee was and he embellished a lot. Speak for yourself!
@@dietrich8820 You are a younger generation but had it not been for Bruce Lee, all those things that influenced you might have never happened at all. Whoever your teachers were, were probably influenced directly or indirectly to take up martial arts...because he made it cool.
Hes not the reason I do martialarts but he is nice af though.
@@dietrich8820amen 🙏 . Exactly speak for yourself I'm tired of the Bruce Lee mess and I like him.
Bruce Lee was amazing, and inspiring to everyone around him.
Power doesn't matter. Speed doesn't matter. Like what? How does size not matter? Size matters my man. It isn't everything... but size matters.
It is definitely a factor, power is a factor, speed is a factor and so is wisdom and knowledge
whos that jai white character? never heard of him before 🤷🏻♂️.
Unknown b-grade actor do low budget martial artist very similar to Scott Atkins all talk never compete
@@urbanjam_1139 Don’t insult my man Scott, that guy is a class act dude, and never once did he claim to be a fighter (though he would definitely beat the crap out of you, me and everyone else in this comment section). Also speaking of unknown B list action star, Mr. Adkins starred as one of the main villains in John Wick part four, you know, one of the biggest movies of 2023, wouldn’t call that low-grade B-list. Give Scott his flowers and show some respect, he’s earned it.
@@Bladerunner39 bullshit your man Scott is not a list actor .majority of his movies are b-listed straight to DVD and John wick4 he got his ass kicked by Keanu he is not even the main starring.
@@Bladerunner39 have I claim I can beat your man Scott atkin?You are so stupid
@@Bladerunner39 have I claim I can beat your man Scott Adkins? You are so stupid.he did tried to compare to Bruce Lee on one of his sidekick too bad nowhere near Bruce .
In the earliest UFC fights without weight classes, we saw that size and weight actually DOES matter!
Size does not matter on the street, but in the ring it does.
It matters in the street too unless the smaller guy has a weapon.
Oscar Del La Jolla couldn’t even hurt Shaq it was like a third grader fighting a senior
So if size doesn't matter, then why are there different weight classes?
Weight classes are only for rules and regulation fighting. Street fighting is where it doesn't matter. It really doesn't even matter with rules and regulations!
It’s surprising to me that as big and mean Mike Tyson was back in the day he respected Bruce Lee as a fighter. This shows that no matter how big, small, light, or heavy you are, if you hit hard you hit hard.
That spinning back leg sweep when joe lewis kicked high was phenomenal!!! Joe lewis was a champion n bruce made him look like a beginner!!!!
Absolutely ridiculous, if the heavyweight guy is a fighter of course size matters
Mike did not say size does not matter. He did say size doesn’t mean you can’t have knockout power.
What he said is being completely misrepresented. The question and answer was specifically about him in the heavyweight division. Not about brave Lee fighting men 100lb heavier.
Michael Jai has, for awhile, been on a Begging For Attention Tour and is so frustrated he’ll NEVER be seen as the greatest in anyone’s eyes except his own.
What matters here is the size of the AREA the fight takes place in. The larger the "ring" the better for Lee. At a certain point, it becomes an advantage to be smaller and faster and able to ambush and use coordination etc. If a 20' ring, then that could be an issue. This also depends on what the style and rules for the fight are. Even if no rules, the larger the size of the ring, the better for quick, devastating attacks. Remember, if you cannot be hit, it does not matter the size of the opponent
Anyone who has fought knows that size matters. Boxing and fighting are two different things. Especially when it gets over 40 pounds difference it makes a big impact
Size does matter. Thats why they have weight classes. Bruce lee was an actor. Most ufc guys and boxers would destroy him in a real fight. He's still my favorite martial arts actor.
mike tyson respect the legend like Bruce Lee and Ali. tyson himself is a living legend. all of them become legend because they are good at something
This film is moving I've never seen anyone fight so gratefully Lee was from another place wow.
All I saying is that there will never be another Bruce Lee as deathly as him ever again...R.I P BRUCE LEE..
Bruce was superhuman , thats why he looked like a shredded fly stinging like a killerbee , pure mental extreme body overpower , nobody could get close to his speed and power
You know what's fascinating, even with the size Brucelee is he's always compared to heavyweights or fighters twice his size, no one needs to compare him with his own weight class cause he's just to powerful for his own class, thats why it's always heavyweights comparing and convincing themselves that size matters, because they literally can't fault Brucelee in any other aspect other than size, Bruce has the same punch power has a heavyweight, the lowest resting heart rate to ever be recorded meaning his endurance, stamina and speed is just gonna be uncomparable to anyone else due to his cardiovascular performance, he's an all rounder and the best there ever was and for sure ever will be in the future, Brucelee is the legend 😁
I'll give mjw his flowers, he's awesome. If Bruce was alive he'd defend himself. But he isn't. For mjw to say he could beat Bruce is highly disrespectful. Mjw also failed to realise that few of Bruce lee students, his wife, daughter are still alive. To assume Bruce is just an actor. He failed to acknowledge what Bruce has done.
Instead of sitting with chuck Norris who is 84 and has trained with Bruce or Kareem Abdul jabbar who was Bruce's student, his wife who Bruce met and trained when he came to America. Dan inosanto who till this day runs Bruce's jeet kune do school. Funny how you listen to joe louis talk about bruce yet mjw said joe louis was his mentor but failed to ask joe about Bruce's legitimacy.
Mjw didn't acknowledge these people but came up with his own conclusion that Bruce was small and not a martial artist. I'm from Nigeria. Many will tell you size doesn't matter. Lots of small most times beat up big dudes..... Size literally doesn't matter in most African countries.... Tyson is also proof of size not mattering as he's bested tall dudes.
One
White never said Bruce was not a martial artist.
Two
Tyson is in the same weight class as the taller people he beat. Same weight class. What’s Newton’s second law of motion?
@@dietrich8820 Go and listen to the Vlad interviews. Not only does he say Bruce was small and Bruce couldn't beat him , he dismisses him also as a martial artist too. Second, Tyson's weight isn't what I'm talking about, am talking about height not weight....Tyson is three inches taller than me but we weigh the same
M J is a Hollywood tough guy
So was Bruce Lee, just less of a loud mouth, stop living in a fantasy.
well you tell him that to his face. Then see his speed and how fast he can put you down.
He has 8 or 9 Black belts and trains daily. LOL hollywood tough guy?
@@Bladerunner39ur all up n these down these comments ur a keyboard warrior stop talking
bruce lee would absolutly destroy micheal LMAO
I use to not understand why people use to say growing up u need gain weight. I was skinny all my life at 64 height, but fast. I remember off of instinct I put 7 blows on someone's face before he can react. This guy was bigger than me, and my skinny knuckles put damage on his face. That's when I realize if you thin but portion with height, you can put a lot of damage. I see bruce punching that bag is exactly what I did out of instinct & frustration
I was thinking but more cut in shape once i got in gym.
Let’s not forget fighters in MMA like BJ Pen , boxers like Tyson and canelo that are usually the smaller but better fighters.
You know how good Bruce was when his opponent lunges at him and he goes towards them at an even faster pace and whacks them back a few feet.
There's nobody out there today in 2024 that can fight like the legend Bruce lee period
I don’t know who would win as I never seen either one in a real fight. But weight does matter that’s why there a weight class
Bruce lee could beat mike tyson and Michael j white the same time Bruce Lee is the goat 🐐
nah thats bs. whats he gon do when two guys are tackling him at the same time. your either 12 or 15, or your 50 and havent fought at that level a single time in your life. bruce is the goat because of his impact not because he was the greatest fighter.
THANK YOU SO MUCH , downloaded this inspirational book of knowledge
Simply The Best
Jai White would get killed messing with Bruce lee
😂😂😂 Fanatacism
I’ve known, experienced, and said that many times in my life. Only people that don’t know how to fight think size matters. They don’t like it, but it’s a fact no matter what they like or think.
I’d put my money on MJW.
It can not be proven or disproven, but the stupidity it takes to make that statement is amazing.
Why are they’re weight classes is size don’t matter ? Maybe in a street fight where you have to strike first
bruce lee would kill mike and jai together.
🧢
✔️ ✅️
Absolute bullshit
He had a rampant rare form of what we call in the Latin culture, anxious and he knew how to harness it and strike with it.
Amazing about Mr Bruce Lee a true legend Mr Jim Kelly and a world karate champion 🏆
If a man knows what he is doing there is nothing a man can't do ... never underestimate anyone always assume they are dangerous
With his nunchucks Bruce can crack your head no matter how big you are.
Size doesn't matter. Its all about power and speed. And condition and skill levels.
Lee had utmost respect and love for Muhammad Ali and went as far as to study his fights in mirrored view by actually reflecting his fight clips in a screen size mirror so Ali would appear to be a southpaw. Reason being Lee favored the southpaw stance because he wanted his fastest and strongest hand in the front yet believed that the left, although weaker, could be trained to be a knockout punch. Most of the sauce hurled at Lee has to do with his lack of ring fights although he actually was a master and trained tirelessly, 7 days a week and sometimes multiple times a day. He had multiple students and none went to him to become ring fighters, but for self defense. Which kinda makes sense as he advocated the use of any physical means to win a fight including eye gouging, throat strikes, groin strikes, elbow strikes, rabbit punches, fish hooking, head butting, biting, stomping, etc. Unarmed fighting against weapons was a no-no and understood a trained knife fighter could kill you and suggested running unless you had a weapon yourself. His Tao of JKD clearly states the groundwork for any fighting art should include boxing, grappling (he used the word wrestling), and footwork (he used fencing towards this means). The man was indeed ahead of his time.
I agree size doesn’t matter, but then again, Mike Tyson is wild. Sometimes he makes up some ridiculous things.
Like Bruce lee said don’t fear the one who learned 10000 different moves but rather den fear the one who learn one move 10000 times
David vs goliath
Bruce Lee - The Big Boss
The two Greats.. Bruce Lee and Chuck freaking Norris
Bruce Lee could actually take MJW to the grave with a single punch.
Very good vid. TY
Now I realize how impressive BL, really was.
"Weight don't win fights, fighting wins fight. "
Don't like FM, but I agree.
Size definitely matters, but it isn't everything. If both are equally skilled, then yes the bigger guy wins
Wow, I found another person who passed middle school physics, good to know everyone in this comment section isn’t completely delusional.
@@Bladerunner39 Before weight classes were invented in boxing, there were cases of men in lower weight classes easily beating men in higher weight classes. It is not common, but it happens.
I know that he sparred with Joe Louis (the kick boxer), who was a heavyweight, and Joe got embarrassed....
We Will Never Know !!! Let the King of Martial Arts … Rest In Peace
Just an absolute hero a beast of a man rip Bruce munch loved
i wish he was alive to make more triple a movies damn I would go to all of them! love u bruce
When every martial artist in the world gets inspiration from Bruce Lee Michael Jai White would get utterly embarrassed like every other martial artists who went against Bruce Lee
Bruce was very good for his era and the amount of knowledge around at that time. But most give him respect to honor his legacy rather than being realistic about how he would fare vs any decent modern day mma fighter. Now if Bruce was a young man today he would have been very good with modern training and more grappling experience.
Size does matters means your weight advantages also is a disadvantage
Mike still my guy we rocking with his optimism
Speed = power
Size may not matter in Bruce Lee's case, we will never know, but it does matter in general. If it wouldnt, there would be no weight categories in combat sports.
Bruce Lee was still a human, and therefore human rules still apply to him, his fanboys treat him like he was some kind of fighting god that came down from heaven. It’s creepy and borderline cult behavior.
Bruce is still human, and therefore is still confined to human limitation. His cult following treat him like some unbeatable fighting master, who was sent down from heaven by God himself, and it’s beyond annoying. I love Bruce, but c’mon, we need to be realistic here.
@@Bladerunner39 I feel the same way. Its cool though to talk about that invincible aura of his.
I dont know what the hell a Beerdy is but when I see "Bruce Lee" in the channel name I subscribe
as u said, its about the fighter. So size could matter.
Hearing this from the Legendary Jim Kelly (Afro Bro) pretty says a whole lot
Chuck Norris doesn't have sex. Sex has Chuck Norris.
The worst one 😆
Which means this might be the best one 😆
And Bruce Lee is a virgin (just joking)
Holy shit where did you find that footage between Joe Lewis and Bruce Lee I have never seen this
I have so much respect for these guys that I don’t want to give them ANY CREDIT whatsoever.
Lol omg
Mike tyson was asked who'd win if he fought bruce lee ??
Tyson replied it won't be a fight. As it'll be like fighting Floyd may weather I'd kill him
This video was sick! So underrated!
the Tao of Jeet Kun Do is one of the greatest books of philosophy ever written
Michael is the only one with the balls to say it, while you are being a fan boy 😂
You really want to beat the crap out of punk Tarantino trying to destroy his legacy.
Size matters when skill levels are similar
Know one will remember Jsi White. Everyone will remember Bruce Lee!
Everyone remembers overhyped movie stars. No one can beat Steven Seagal ... in a movie. The same can be said about Bruce Lee.
It’s so easy to say that about a man who passed away many years ago when they didn’t have social media like that I’ll m not saying Bruce Lee wasn’t a bad man, but nobody not being able to be home. That’s a little far-fetched.
well size does matter, if not why even have weight classes?
