“Showing off is the fool's idea of glory.”
― Bruce Lee
He is not showing off. He speaks the truth, but people are blind.
+martin marinov you don't know anything sir
“To tell the truth, I could beat anybody in the world.”
― Bruce Lee
I don't agree with this!
+ninjanizzle did he really say that?
It's unfortunate that Bruce Lee is now being compared this way as a fighter and everybody has over hyped his status in the wrong way. People who say he ain't shit now are missing a huge point in that it is like saying "I'm a better driver than the guy who developed the racing engine" You wouldn't be driving that fast today if that guy didn't step up and create a different dynamic that changed the standards. Pioneers and people who raise the bar are the ones that point the way so people have a level to reach and surpass. That is what Bruce was and is the guy that said "It can be done".
***** Micheal Jai is a real fighter, he just also has an acting career. He was a fighter before he was an actor.
One thing I will add in defense of Bruce. Michael is bigger and stronger yes, but Bruce's greatest asset was his speed. He had demonstrated many times how much faster he was than the majority of the fighters of his time. Plus the fact that he had stated he would use anything to win a fight in a hand to hand and that one of his favorite weapons was the finger jab to the eyes. If Bruce did land that blow, which I think he definitely could, it would cause any sized fighter a damage that would hinder him to the point of leaving him wide open for a punch to the throat, a kick to the groin or liver shot. No fight is 100% certain until the fight is over. The street don't have no rules.
PREDATOR11910 Yea i know but still semi contact can just as easily be full contact + it takes more skill to pull your punches than it does to just let them carry through. BTW i got a video of me fighting to prove that i do fight. I lost but it was a pretty good fight. I'm still training. It's s.o.s round rock vs taylor. Trey vs Bankroft
I don't watch UFC so i don't know that much about the history of it. I just know that if Michael is able to go from semi contact to full contact easily and properly with the same skill then he would make a formidable fighter
***** Bro i never said anything about lee's skill and size. And i honestly dont give a shit. All i did was state an opinion which last i checked is legal
Ask him if he can beat Meng/Haku and he will leave the Studio immediately
pls let him rest in peace
Hahaha that was in mymind to
You mean Bruce Lee, right!
Nobody could stop him from testing in peace 🤣
Size matters but so does power, speed accuracy and technique. Bruce Lee was a monster man.
Michael Jai White is the monster here. You are talking about a guy that is 100 kg of muscle mass which have 8 black belts and doing movies, but he has used his fame to train with masters from all around the world in several disciplines. Even UFC fighters respect this guy. Speed, accuracy and techniques is something this guy knows very well. I have no idea how a fight between Bruce and Michael would end up but someone that massive with tons of martial arts knowledge is extremely dangerous. I have not seen anyone like Michael.
Bruce didn't have much of a ground game though.
Bruce lee was able to fight somebody that was like twice his weight & height and used it against him. I know size is important but it still don't mean everything especially if your opponent is Bruce lee, he'd figure that shot out before the fight would even start
But if he were put on his back in full guard what would he do? A real fight can take place anywhere. It's not just about the stand up like some people like to believe. He would have lost on the ground and then picked it up afterwards because he was a student of the game. Always learning.
Avean did u see bruce lee training partners bone? they got bruises and crack just from bruce blocking, his bones are as hard as metal if udk, as he eats raw meat
Micheal why you dont join to ufc to test your self before you think you can beat bruce
None would. Why do you hate him so much?
I dont hate him i am big fan of micheal but i respact bruce lee he is icon ✌️❤️
meshal ali - this goes both ways too lee couldn't beat a handful of MMA fighters
meshal ali no one could beat bruce accept maybe ip man
Don Mateo83 umm your joking right lol he could kick a 300 pound bag to the ceiling and he was literally to fast to react to one kick to the mma fighters head game over
If Bruce lee was alive he would say... words don’t hit back mother fuckerrr...
John Miller Bruce would look like a kid threatening a big buff dude.
“Boards don’t hit back”
Lmfaooooo good one.I was saying that line in Bruce's voice lol
The guy did point karate. Calm down.
Bruce Lee can beat him from his grave.
+Husabceuoa Cieabcueoa fucking troll
+Husabceuoa Cieabcueoa no you stfu
+Husabceuoa Cieabcueoa u shut the fuck up novice
+Katy Lee I agree 100% and yes the black guy is right, size does matter; that's why Bruce cut weight from 170 to 125 because being lighter with no fat and all muscle meant he could move faster than anyone else while still maintaining and incredible amount of power. For example: A bullet is super thin and light, but that's what allows it to move astonishingly fast, and we all know the formula for force right? Acceleration x Mass = Force so in essence the lighter a human frame is the faster it can accelerate which can lead to higher force being exerted on strike as long as the human frame is incredibly muscular for it's size, because we all know muscle weighs more than fat (mass). That black guy probably has like 10% body fat.
+Miles Hamblen big George Foreman was slower than all his opponents . Yet Big George Foreman defeated all his opponents except for Muhammed Ali. If speed was everything and strength mentioned nothing, Big George Foreman would have never beaten all those guys.
One does not simply say he can beat Bruce Lee.
Lol, the should allow mims to be inserted with text on TH-cam
Dk Soulstice Hahah, unless he probably could, no disrespect to Bruce Lee, but for some reason, when someone is a badass and is dead, people overestimate them, you got to remember Michael is a black belt in 9 fighting styles.
THEIAN11 maybe in the ring..but remember michael is a heavy weight,,so in a street fight stamina is important. so i would say in the ring michael maybe,,street fight bruce would win
THEIAN11 well, as respectable as that is, that also puts some conflict there since "styles" are so structured they cannot adapt to a scenario that the creator of the style had not thought of, Bruce Lee did no legit style for that very reason, and White is definatley stronger than Lee, but Lee is a lot faster than White, and Lee is unpredictable due to his unstructured form of fighting
ProScourge
I know, I'm just saying, people blow lee up so much because he is dead, and yes, I'm not going to sit here and talk shit on it, but you know how people are, when someones dead and they are great at something, apparently that makes them the best there is and ever was, no disrespect was meant.
Bruce Lee the legend man
Bruce is just an actor. With no real fights what so ever
@@ThePharaoh87 with two fights. A sanctioned three round youth boxing match. He won on the cards. And his fight with Wong Jack Man which, despite winning, disappointed Lee in how ineffective his kung fu was, claiming he won merely by being the more athletic of the two. Somehow, his fans have exaggerated these into him being a boxing champion in hong kong and besting a bunch of kung fu masters that challenged him.
Those who speculate about Lee, seem to be forgetting, for all his talent, the man is dead and any agreement is mute.
I wanna see this guy michael jai do push up like Brace Lee with 2 fingers
well he is heavier than bruce personally i think michael would win
Christian Guerrero I didn't say who will win . I said I wanna see this guy michael jai do push up like Bruce Lee with 2 fingers
Speaking the truth You know those old type condensed metal milk can. One of the stunt guy mentioned Bruce used to show off to them how he used 1 finger to poke a hole in the metal can, so I think is this a feat which a human can do.
chengkuan lum95 I saw someone did it
This guy is a clown. After making a statement like that I don't even think he can beat me up
I can beat Bruce Lee too...
He's dead, I win.
LOL this is so wrong..
BINGO!!! Best comment yet. LMAO
He's a well trained Martial artist who outweight Bruce lee by over 100 lb. There's a reason why they have different weight levels in MMA, boxing etc... Size does matter. It's simple physics.
+alan boardman he already has a well known name in Martial arts bro,not trying to be an ass,just stating facts...
alan boardman I'm a martial artists. Those who really are know what bruce is like being he is a kindred spirit they walk in the footsteps of. He trained all around the world, studied Muhammad Ali's boxing, fencing, wing chub, shaolin kung if I'm not mistaken, Japanese styles as well. He made his own fighting style. He accepted challenges from many ignorant belligerent ballroom brawlers that thought it wise to pick on those physically outclassed by them.
Her reaction says it all
so someone heavier than him, can beat him? Bruce Lee invented modern mix martial arts. Its like shitting on fore fathers
He's right
Too many butthurt Bruce Lee fans. I mean to the point that they are trying to calculate and theorize how the fight would go. You people need to relax. Bruce Lee isn't fucking Superman and Michael Jai White is allowed to speak his peace.
Incessant Wake people are only choosing Bruce lee because of his fights in his movies. They don't even know Michael Jai White background. They wanna write and talk about what they heard. Lol I agree with you man.
K
sorry mate lee was a superhuman.
RAY RAY but a little hash killed him? yeah real super
Still supa
Man, even Mike Tyson said size doesn't matter in a fight lol
Mike Tyson has a good balance between speed and mass. He was also not fighting guys 100 pounds bigger than him.
Size dont matter lmao yh u go try fight a giant...
Bruce lee cant take mike tyson punch
He means size doesnt matter when its a guy who is 5'9 225 lbs vs a guy who is 6'2 240 pounds.. But for fucks sake!!! a 135lbs man vs a 240lbs man (of Muscle!! not fat) fuck man. Mayweather vs Tyson.. size fucking matters.
U think Mayweather would beat Tyson? “Size don’t matter” right? lol
No one in this world beat bruce lee..he was a human with superpowers..he break your all bones in one second
He has very little grappling knowledge how would he do that? BJJ allows you to do that.
Lets see you beat Donnie yen first challenge him
He only likes talking about dead legends .he's too weak and pathetic to challenge or talk ill about living fighters.
@@olanrichards2421 hahhahah mjw will destroy donnie yen.
@@november9595 And Yen would kick Lee's ass lol
@@SuperKamiGuruu lol!
bruce lee was light years ahead of white.
that dude isnt eating raw meat like a tiger.he's eating peanut butter and jelly
you can ask any martial arts master and theyll say bruce lee was overrated
Im sure you will be saying the same thing about eminem in 20 years also
Jaime Becerra eminem is doing things that no other artist is doing. . .and he is quite consistent. . .bruce lee never did much besides straight punches and side kicks. . .
I knew u would say that.so i already know how you think
Size wont help against eye jab or kick in the balls.
Learn grappling like judo and BJJ you'll have a greater chance against a big guy like him.
I wish Bruce Lee was here to hear him say that .
And he would agree
'Dont waste yourself' 🐲
Funny that Michael Jai White talked about Bruce Lee in the present tense as if he is still alive.
Michael respects Bruce Lee, he said it out of his own concept of always win. Same as our late Bruce Lee
Size kind of does matter; I'm not saying Bruce Lee would lose or win, but Bruce Lee did say that Muhammad Ali would beat him in a fight because he said look at the SIZE of my Chinese fist compared to boxer Muhammad's fist. Either way, my full respect to Bruce and Michael Jai
I think what Bruce said about the SIZE of his hand was a joke not real because I or my friends sometimes said like Bruce to the people who we are sure to beat too. I a new documentary " I am Bruce Lee ", one witness told Bruce intended to fight with Ali one day ( it prove Bruce was not really afraid of Ali), but unfortunately he passed away.
"Everybody says I must fight Ali someday," Bruce said. "I'm studying every move he makes. I'm getting to know how he thinks and moves". Bruce Lee knew he could never win a fight against Ali "look at my hands", he said."That's a little Chinese hand. he'd kill me"
ninjanizzle You are wrong or misunderstanding. What Bruce said was just a joke. When I watch new documentary " I am Bruce Lee ", one of his friend asked Bruce " Why did you have so many Mohamed Ali video and watch his video so many times ? ". Bruce answered " Because one day I would fight him ". He meant he can fight Ali with boxing, when he is ready. He watch Ali 's fight in order to get familiar with Ali's style as you wrote "I'm studying every move he makes. I'm getting to know how he thinks and moves" and find a way to neutralise it. Bruce Lee defeated 3- time Hong Kong Boxing Champion in his fist time before. Bruce was a genius as many people witnessed. Ed Parker, the father of American Kendo Karate told " Bruce was the best martial artist I ever seen and he is one of 2 billion ". Others such as Jhoon Rhee ( Ali's master in Taekwando ) , Chuck Norris, Jim Kelly, Dan Inosanto, Louis Delgardo etc.....said similar. I think Ali, Tyson or anyone would dare not underestimate Bruce's ability in a boxing fight, otherwise they would be lost for sure
+Lap Vu according to u its a joke, and who r u? bruce never said it was a joke, so he was dead serious. u r assuming because u dont want to accept the truth. bruce knew size mattered. that documentary is on youtube here titled "2012 I Am Bruce Lee" so tell me what exact minute i can see his friend saying this? theres no way they would allow bruce lee to fight ali, he was way too small to face a heavyweight. a fight like that could end in a fatality. fights against fighters of equal weights have ended in deaths. he copied alis boxing because ali was 1 of the best boxers at the time, so who better to learn from? bruce lee defeated this so called 3 time high school boxing champ called gary elms, but if u look for any info on him u find nothing. no records, no interviews not even a single picture. i find that very strange. ali was an olympic boxing gold medalist, a high school tournament isnt worth spit compared to that. also hawkins cheung said he and bruce were using wing chun in the tournament, so their opponents cant have been highly skilled to lose to guys with no boxing experience. bruce lee has no official amateur boxing records to verify anything. ali does. watch the video titled "Bruce Lee, Ted Wong & Dan Lee Hitting Heavy Bag HomeFootage 1960's" on youtube. it should be obvious to u bruce doesnt have better boxing than the first guy on the bag. who trained bruce lee in boxing? even the best fighters had good trainers. go watch ali and tyson on the heavy bag, bruce cannot compare to that. bruce was not a professional boxer and he damn sure wasnt a heavyweight. for u to even think he would stand a chance against ali or tyson is highly delusional. that would be a mismatch of the highest order.
I can sense it as a joke and I strongly believe it's the truth. In my life, I met many people talk like what Bruce said as a joke. Bruce think size matter only when both have the martial art skill and speed. At the time of the boxing with Gary Elms, Bruce were only18 years old and not prepared well for that tournament. I accept that Bruce's boxing skill at the time were not well and he used Wing chun in the tournament. To learn that bad experience, Bruce study Ali's fight very carefully and copied Ali's boxing. It was true that Bruce admired Ali and thought Ali was 1 of the best boxers at the time, so Bruce learnt from Ali to prepare for the fight with Ali. I believe Bruce has the chance to beat Ali when he had more experience in boxing. He was faster than Ali and powerful enough to knock down Ali. If you look back at the Rio Olympic at the swimming event, a young man from Singapore beat Michael Phelp ( his idol ) in 200m butterfly ? The same thing happen I other sport like tennis. One young one came up like Roger Federer beat his idol Pete Sampras in 2001 Wimbledon and so on. I did not hear what you report in " I am Bruce Lee" I got a record and the photo of the tournament in Hong Kong. Bruce was a rarely genius and very fast learner and I am very sure he would be a threat to Ali and Tyson. I am sure that Ali and Tyson would not underestimate Bruce in a fight. Are you aware that Ali and Tyson respect and admire Bruce ? Bruce may have to fight other boxers ( assume 4 or 5 boxer from his weight division and up to higher division ) first to get experience as he have more experience than he would feel confident to challenge Ali or Tyson. Bruce would challenge Ali or Tyson when he feel his boxing skill would be well enough to beat them at the right time.
Mike Tyson was a very small heavy weight ... fighting guys that had a big reach advantage and much taller.... And well we know the story
um he lost to a guy with less skill but a 12" reach advantage
This is true, but it is also comparing sportsmen to sportsmen. Bruce Lee wasn't interested in sport. That not what he was about at all.
Disagree with calling him a 'small heavyweight'. At around 220lbs he wasn't small by any standards, most of his opponents were round his weight. Yeah, he gave up height and reach but size amasses to more than just that. Hence why we have weight classes, not height or reach classes. Cant use it as a Bruce Lee comparision who's literally around 80 pounds lighter than Michael Jai White😂
but he weighed 212 the same as most heavy weights, and oh yah Mike tyson was a real fighter,
@@t.sewell1513 💯👍
Let me make it clear no one in this world can beat Bruce Lee in a fight.
So true!
Maybe in his movies. They were pretty cool. But irl? There is plenty of people who would whoop the living sh out of him
@@Cenatcenat902 ikr they so impressionable they watch captain America and probably come out saying Chris Evan could beat up Mike Tyson
I used to box, and I weighed in at 170 lbs. I once sparred with a 225 lb guy who had less sparring experience than I did and much worse technique, he pretty much only threw overhand rights and straight rights at me while I hit him with everything I had. We sparred for 7 rounds and I landed way more shots than he did, but he basically walked right through most of them, and the few times he caught me it really shook me. If this were a real fight without gear there's no doubt this guy would have knocked me out even with his weak skills. We'll never know who would win but you can't be serious is you think size doesn't matter, especially if you have never been in a fight, and this is a 100lb difference we're talking about.
Shit 20 pounds sometimes makes a difference. we're talking one hundred pound difference here with equal skill.
+dpillay009 That's why i'm saying Michael would knock his ass out.
+Sasha Sarronen definitely
***** lol
Finally somebody in the comments with some common sense
Easy to say you can beat somebody that has been dead for 42 years and can't hear it.
he talks with a mouth but bruce lee will talk with hands and feet
@@yassirelgazari4497 basically, anything that has done in the past can improve in future. Fighting styles has been improved lately if you know MMA which means Mix Martial Arts.. MMA vs Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do lol. Which one do you think will win lol? I mean Michael Jai White has facts but the truth is, we will never knew until the fight happens. Lol
@@mamia06 yea but bruce is one of the best fighters all the time if u see his speed and power whats in the past doesn't have to do anything with now. strength is strength.
bruce wouldve been a world champion if he competed in mma he trained more then any mma fighter he is 130 pounds and move a punch bag from 200 like a 1 punch bag
@@yassirelgazari4497 I’m not being bias or any but this is reality. He won’t win because he only has one martial arts which I said of what he created, Jeet Kune Do compared to fighters these days with MMA which is not only knowing 1 Martial arts but much more than 2. Lol
@@yassirelgazari4497 he is the best fighter, he’s the goat but it’s better not to be delusional and denial tbh. Since, his weight is not overweight so it’s obviously he has speed and power but what gives to someone who has more than knowledge of Martial Arts.
Cocky but if bruce lee was here he would regret that
Let me correct ya. Micheal wud have regret that 😌
@@ThePistolp23 let me correct you even more precisely "Michael would've been dead"
I'm a Bruce Lee fan, but y'all need help if you think he would win against Michael Jai White.
MIDNIGHT EYE I think Bruce lee would destroy him and yes size matter but Depends on the factory and 100lb above Bruce lee is completely ok and Bruce lee is too fast and strong for his size and he can even break a board with just A few inch punch and the way he kick is unbelievable and Bruce lee is really skillful fighter and I understand why Michael said I can beat Bruce lee cuz he is smaller and think he can take him out easily or unless he want to be famous by saying he can beat Bruce lee and man I fought the guy that weight 270lb and I throw him on the ground and all it matter is if you really train yourself well and Bruce lee train every single day and until doctor said he has to stop training while he was injured and I think Bruce lee would destroy him for good.
Stop being delusional.
Bruce was 100 pounds lighter, he literally stands no chance whatsoever.
Regardless of who wins, MJW shouldn’t have said that about someone who’s passed away. Not only is it a form of disrespect, he could never prove it he can beat Bruce too.
Bish pls Bruce Lee wouldn't care he'd enjoy the challenge
Bruce Lee's heaviest weight was 160 Ibs. His lightest weight was 132 Ibs (Enter the dragon). Shortly afterwards he became ill. The 160 Ib Bruce Lee would give Michael Jai White a run for his money - in the cage and on the street. Remember when 180 Ib Royce Gracie was beating up all them 220 Ib guys in the first two years of MMA / UFC ? Or when Rocky Marciano (185 Ibs) was knocking out all them 210 - 220 Ib boxers ? Size is a lot but it's not the be all and end all.
u are correct. Amen brotha
Real Talk
Mathew Stovell...remember when Royce Gracie fought Matt Hughes in the same weight class and got the crap kicked out of him...hmmm...Royce was fighting fighters with NO Jui Jitsu capabilities that's why he won...if he stood with them he would have lost for sure...MMA fighters nowadays would have no problem with Royce Gracie at his best.
Correct
Matt Hughes was 32 and Royce Gracie was 39...get your facts straight...AND...Hughes was only 5'9" while Gracie was 6'1" with a 6.5" reach advantage over Hughes...AND he still LOST.
Bruce would eat your for dinner Michael, stop it.
Paul Jason then ip man would eat Bruce lee for dinner and if Micheal jai white even though ip man is dead would be able to go up against him whose getting eaten up for dinner Bruce lee or Micheal jai white?
Coz he didn't believe in martials arts as a sport or competition..he called it "organized despair"..because of the rules..you're a fool, you don't know shit! so shut up.
Paul Jason there's weight classes for a reason
Bruce Lee would whoop his ass in 5 different languages. Closed Caption included. He gon turn his name into Michael Jai Lite. #BoardsDontHitBack
In street fighting, where Bruce fought, there was no such thing as weight class.
I can't compare bluce Lee to any one coz master lee he was like amoving wind, he was not just a great martial artist but he was even a philosopher
Size does matter WHEN YOU CONNECT, in terms of power, but what makes you connect your strike is speed, footwork and above all, your mind.
True, but Bruce wasn't your average feather/lightweight, he could hit as hard as a heavyweight.
the main reason people respect bruce lee is that he ADMITS his limitation. he NEVER says he is god. watch his movie, learn his philosophy, he has shown thousands of times in his movie how to fight an opponent much bigger than him in LIFE-THREATENING scenarios! below are the methods:
1. kick him in the nuts
2. confuse him with fake punches and kicks
3. bite him in the legs
4. tear his chest hair off
he will turn DIRTY and NASTY when necessary. so rather than considering him a professional fighter, i would say he is a SURVIVOR. we are talking about real fight, not competition with a set of rules!
i don't think child knew professionally how to utiliise all his weight and muscles to throw out a punch. if u really practie kung fu or other martial arts, u know even western boxer will not ultilise all his muscles to give out a punch. so there's always a difference between child street fight and bruce lee's street fight
***** i'm not exaggerating bruce lee. i'm not overrating bruce lee. but i don't underestimate bruce lee. both extremes are not probable
***** lol that's not gimmick, that's achievement with lots of EFFORT made
His movie lol. Its a film ffs.
go back to your white boys club then. asian poeple don't give a fuck about what white people think about us
I can beat Bruce Lee too... if he let me ahahaha
Amuana Gonmei good luck with tho delusions.
This was an audition for a comedy film that White wanted to start in.
Whoever says michael would win has never been in a fight in there entire life. Still love Michael though.
you can't beat what you can't hit. be like water
if i heard bruce say be like water .. I am water ..I would not fight his crazy ass lol ... hed win before he even threw a punch ... fighting a damn man thats built like a rock and says hes water ....shiiiiiiiiiit
Dumb shit ever
You can hit water lmao
Michael White doesn't embody the essence of martial arts, and doesn't represent it in the right way, or any way. Hes too egotistical, and not humble at all. Also, when you hear him in interviews, he always seem so mad, and like he has a chip on his shoulder. He just irks me. Hes in martial arts for the glory, rather than for something to center him, and to find peace and harmony. He doesn't seem righteous in his actions, and doesn't seem like the good guy that doesn't use martial arts in order to protect the weak, and for self defense, but rather uses it to look cool with his fancy kicks, and whatnot.
He just irks the hell outta me. Am I the only one?
Martial arts are about humility and respect. Even if he thought he could beat him a true warrior wouldn't have to say so. I agree with you. Seems some of the 'new school' are sadly lacking in that respect. May you go in peace brother.
Tres Fielder exactly. Sad part is, hes not even new school. Hes just one of those souls that are very insecure.
+Tiki K And that's sad...
ReturnoftheBrotha exactly what I mean. Shaking my head at you, lost one. You are truly an abomination to the human race.
TIKI K Yeah, because Bruce Lee was the most humble guy that didn't show off once. People need to stop thinking fighting has anything to do with philosophy. IT DOESN'T!
2:27 For those interested to get to the point
Thank
You
If you ever been in a street fight you should know size matter it doesn't always mean the bigger guy going to win but it means he have a better advantage but if you ever been in a real fight you know size Matters
I got respect for MJW but go listen to Jim Kelly. Bruce Lee was untouchable.
People said the same about Ali, who cares. Michael would beat him too. Believing in mysticism doesn't work in reality.
Brucee lee the wimp
@@midnighteye2737 he would get his ass whooped

There’s a lot smaller guy in ufc boxing. Try that see what happens

Best advice should have been 'stay humble, especially when asked about legends that walked the earth and changed the world'
@My Name Is You're my hero. For using the term butt hurt sincerely.
And editing it hahahahahaha
Aaaaaaaaaa hahahahahaha
@My Name Is "because is said" you should really have edited that.
@My Name Is I am indeed a rare person. I've also done my fair share of stupid. And it's clear you're fair share is still occurring 😁 Bruce was more than a one inch punch. His mind and his words were more powerful than martial arts and more meaningful than a who could beat who pissing contest. That's my point. That's, for those who care to look deeper, my point. And that stands not only for three years but, like his legend, forever. Stop being butt hurt 😂
You will lose (Ivan Drago voice)
"Bruce would break you" (Ivan Drago again...ehehehehe)
If he dies.....he dies(better Ivan quote)
Size matters but if you beat an opponent with your mind you've already lost, become water!
people dont understand size only gives a weight advantage. every body type is different and give different advantages. micheal jai white is a big and very athletic man but we have to remember bruce lee would spent al day training. he found comfort in it. he was without a doubt the fastest puncher to ever live and had so much power he would send men flying with a punch that had barely any space to gain power imagine his real punches. im pretty sure i heard he would need to train with a punching bag made with metal because any other would break or sumn like that
Michael Jai Fool show some more respect to a legend like Bruce Lee, u ain't got enough class or style to ever be on his level... Size doesn't always matter in a real street fight
-_-
LDN LONDON man sit down LOL
lol butthurt, there are MANY ppl out there that would beat Bruce Lee's ass! Wake up ffs
LDN LONDON yep. and history proves it. David slew goliath, and Bruce Lee would destroy mr. white. when u have someone as disciplined as Bruce Lee was he would make you fight his fight, then toy with you and after that just straight take you out!!!
:D
Bruce Lee would show him who's boss.
Yea ikr! Lee would rip his head off
+Lestat De Lioncourt yep bruce lee would kick his ugly head off lol
***** Thank god. I was starting to think this new age that ignorant ppl had forgotten.
I'm sure me and MJW will meet one day if he really believes he's better than Bruce and we'll see what happens. I think it would be pretty cool. Ppl should be able to dream. What he said is disrespect.
blacktee31 Yea MJW is just sad lol
EMPEROR K00L I would like to see him challenge a legit fighter. Do movies with legit fighters. Jackie chan and Jet Li went at it. Mike Tyson showed he hadn't lost touch with his fighting spirit against Donnie Yen earlier this year. Hell even Jason Stathem went at a bigger stronger Dwayne Johnson tho it was scripted the other way cause he was the bad guy. MJW needs someone somewhat youthful, experienced, with clout not a deceased legends.
Michael liked the video 4.2k times
Size doesnt matter if the smaller man has a higher fight degree and intelligence but if the bigger guy has a high skill level then size matters
father is father...👏at least keep respect of legend
Bruce Lee has beaten plenty of people with 100+ weight advantage.. What made Bruce so special was that yes.. In most situations size makes a great deal of a difference.. But Bruce had unparalleled speed, timing, and technique to make up for the shortcoming of size. What good is that 100 weight advantage if you can't land a blow?
+Eclipsen Gaming Come on maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
My brother delivered flowers to bob wall, the big white dude in enter the dragon. Bob wall told my brother that Bruce literally kicked like a mule. The directors wife of entered the dragon touched Bruce lees arm and retracted in fright saying my god, it feels like warm marble. There are Korean soldiers that take bladed axes to their stomachs and don't bleed. The human body is capable of a lot. The great Miyamoto Musashi weathered extreme elements.
wow that's crazy, nice story man. But yea it seems like a lot of people underestimate/ don't understand the power of MMA and limits of the human body. Bruce Lee was one of a kind
+Eclipsen Gaming he was. His fastest reflexes were recorded at 5 hundredths of a second. He even said there people faster than him. It's just that he was more deceptive with his feints. If you look closely and in slo mo he'll pull off two or three feints before making contact in his films.
+Eclipsen Gaming exactly.. some say you can slow someones speed by hitting them body blows and some shit, but what if u can't hit your opponent??
Size Does Matter In A fight But When dealing with Marital art That changes things. Bruce lee Thats a different story
This guy deserves a lot of respect. He takes amazing care of himself and he certainly can walk the walk. But Bruce Lee had the power of a heavy weight and that’s documented among many fighters, heavyweights and others. I’ve seen how fast M.J. White is and I’ve seen Bruce lee’s speed, and Bruce owns speed. Bruce is lightning and could kick and retract before MJW could react. The other intangible is Bruce’s chi. He could move a man 10’ with the force of his punch from just a few inches away. 140lbs vs 225lbs. Typically you would say the 225 pound man has the distinct advantage. But Bruce Lee was not just a normal man, his mental and physical force was unparalleled regardless of what Michael Jai White says. Size only matters when you let size matters. Remember the old adage: Don’t judge the size of the dog in the fight, judge the size of the fight in the dog.
Well said, if size was everything than shaq is the greatest fighter ever
I wonder if he still feels that way about Bruce Lee today, or did he come to his senses and realize, "hey, I said something stupid."
Size matters when you are fighting humans amigo. Bruce Lee no es humano.
If I’m going to break it down. The only fighter on planet earth that I think would have a chance at beating Bruce Lee was Mike Tyson at his prime - in a no weapons fight.
Bruce was a master of trapping and direct attacks.
Tyson was a master of evasive entry with round attacks.
The evasiveness of Tyson would have made it near impossible to trap him since his defence was not with his hands. Tysons defence was only with movement.
When His hands were revealed - it was only to deliver a deadly blow.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but in a fist to fist fight - I don’t see Bruce beating Tyson.
But anyone else - the fight won’t last more than a minute. He would trap you and you will not be able to take his barrage of punches that will be coming at you like a Submachine gun.
Wow I just developed so much more respect for mike Tyson.
@Fred Forbes you think I’m young - thanks. There are many things you do not understand and you probably never will. It’s line saying a small bullet cannot kill an elephant.
@Fred Forbes these 3 art forms of which you speak are currently primitive still evolving and even now are not at the level that Bruce was soo many years ago. This is not about street fight or wealth. You simply cannot fathom what I’m trying to tell you. Ok currently Jackie chan is one of the best martial artists - Jackie said it was impossible to see Bruce’s attacks.
Samo Hung said - Bruce used to go from school to school and fight everyone usually except the teacher so as not to disrespect. A home raised fighter does not create his own artform. Even what you call mma was created by Bruce lee.
And mma today is still primitive and still evolving. Yea you were bouncing and street fighting for 100 years but a fight between you and Bruce would have taken like 20 seconds.
The fact that you are saying what you are saying tells me you don’t even know.
We are talking about principles and artform you are talking about size - for a true master - size is totally irrelevant.
I did wing Tsun for over 12 years, i did kempo jujitsu and I’m one away from black. It was when I tried to learn Silat that my mind opened as I was under the tutelage of a spiritual master and realised what true martial arts was. I immediately stopped training as I realised that as a Christian I could not partake in this.
So again like I said - you don’t even have an inclining of understanding what you are talking about.
After over 18 years of training - one day with this spiritual master changed my whole life. Just one day.
Let’s leave it there.
Lol at everyone in this thread….delusional Bruce Lee fan boys
Michael Jai White can kick a punching back and bust it where its leaking sand.
Bruce Lee can Kick a punching back twice Michael's weight and bust the entire contents all over the ground. I dont think size really plays a part here.
+Shane Rhabb and yet the evidence shows bruce lee to be a complete amateur on a punchbag /watch?v=aObGLTfJa1w
Stupido feckoff if you know anything about punching techniques how Bruce Lee is punching is Wing Chun Style. He does not fully rotate the palm facing down at the end of the punch. Wing Chun has always been his base of fighting where he reverts too. While the Wing Chun style does not have the same reach as boxing or other forms of fighting the snap is much greater and with the mechanics of this style more punches can be thrown in succession without telegraphing so much. Bruce was no armature at punching, he just didn't punch like everyone assumes one should punch.
only his palm position is 'wing chun style'. He is not using the retarded wing chun pigeon toed stance, or the retarded wing chun centre line. But he still ends up looking like a C class amateur.
I thought you said he could destroy a punchbag?
Stupido feckoff I didnt say anything about destroying a punching bag. I'll let you re-read what I said if you can. All I know is when bruce was alive nobody was talking as much trash as they do now. There is something to be said about a guy who literally had to engage in real fights all the time because had that meany haters and he beat them all.
"Bruce Lee can Kick a punching back twice Michael's weight and bust the entire contents all over the ground."
so then this must have been a joke. and not a very funny one.
😂😂 when Bruce Lee alive now he said hold my beer bitch😂😂
Both are actors, but Jai white at least has film footage of him fighting a competition Lee has 0
You guys really think fighting in competition is a real fight huh? There's a difference between street fight and a professional fight.
Yall do remember when the UFC started and there was no weight match.SIZE DOES NOT MATTER!
***** have you watch the start of UFC because it sounds like you have no idea?!?!?!
fuck that mothe fucker u you never beat bruce lee in your dreams bruce lee always be history no matter what but jet li would fuck you up o what abot jackie chan
***** SO LET ME GET THIS RIGGT......YOU SAID PRETTY MUCH THAT THE BIGGER MAN WILL WIN RIGHT.BUT IN SOME OF THE FIRST UFC FIGHTS THE SMALLER MEN WAS WINNING AND THERE WHERE NO WEIGHT LIMIT TO WHO FIGHTS WHO.SIR WHAT YOU SAID MAKES NO FUCKIN SINCE.NOT ONLY DOES THIS APPLY TO THE UFC BUT EVERYDAY LIFE.SMALLER MEN HAVE BEAT MEN MUCH BIGGER THAN THEM OVER THE TIME OF HISTORY.SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING MAKES NOT A BIT OF SINCE!!!THIS IS FACTS!!!!!PROVEN FACTS!!!
***** like I said HISTORY HAS PROVEN THIS NOT ME AND NO ONE CAN ERASE HISTORY!!!
But they lose right and to a smaller man right fighting is fighting.Now think if Bruce Lee was still alive there's no telling to what he would know and that's where everyone gets lost at he was ahead of his time then and I'm pretty sure he would be today as well!
Bruce is not only faster, he hits really hard. He trained for pure strength while not building size so he can keep his speed. He can kick you AND already retract the leg before you finish blinking. Everyone who eye witnessed him said he can do everything he is known for. And don't forget this was a time where he was very hated by Westerners and Easterners due to envy. But Not a single person from his time era dare came out and said he was fake. They know better then to fuck with him.
LOL The level of delusion surrounding Bruce Lee is hilarious. He was not a professional fighter. Stop it!
And That is on the "STRENGTH!!!!" BRUCE WAS THE BEST.
The Great Grand Master Bruce Lee 🙏 Will Definitely Forgive You From Wherever He Is Right Now.
He Was a Great Soul 🙏.
Abraham Lincoln yeah brucevlee is the best kungfu actor forgive us bruce 😊
Forgive? Before or after Lee smacks MJW upside the head.
@@kamuelalee haha i kick bruce lee
@@azizahosman1979 Dead men say this before Bruce kick their asses to Afterworld. Hohoho
You have to beat all alive fighters in MMA and UFC to prove that ..... so good luck !!!
Bruce Lee could have, I wager.
Bruce Lee didnt beat anyone. You are saying he looks to be better in movies or? Cuz a lot of ufc fighters would whoop bruce lee
I aint saying Bruce Lee is God but MJW is talking mad shit if he thinks he can beat Bruce in a real fight... jus cuz hes 100lbs+ on Bruce means he has an advantage? you gotta understand that makes him slower and Bruces punch and kicks are not of a 130lb chinaman.. he's raw and his punches hits like a train.. without a doubt in my mind this fool would lose. If y'all trolls would do some research you'll find EVERY single interview of who matters in the martial arts world testifying how out of this world Bruce's skills were. Furthermore, Bruce did not jus study one style, he knew many and he found fundamental flaws in them, that is why he came up wit his own- JKD. MJW has 15 black belts blah blah.. still a follower not a pioneer or leader. One last thing, Bruce Lee was real street fighting in HK and 'Merica long before he was a movie star... y'all degenerate momos really think he's never put down a dude the size of MJW? gtfo
auraskin man, WTF are you talking about? MJW is a trained fighter who has mastered several styles (5) of martial arts, he has actually competed in real fights, and he had been training in MA much longer than lee, since 9yrs old.
Lee never mastered wing chung. he started Kung fu in his teens for at best 3-5 years and only developed a style (JKD) that worked for him. get a clue.
Aammaann87 that rant made 0 sense
This is a response to auraskin and Aammaann87. Both of your arguments are fallacious and I will deal with them separately.
@auraskin: The main point of interest in your post is the question of how strong Bruce Lee was. Obviously he could not hit like a train which I know is hyperbole on your part (unless you are delusional) but when you are saying a weight advantage of nearly 100 pounds between a man who was 5'7" and about 135 pounds vs. one who is 6'1" and about 230 pounds doesn't matter in a fight I have to wonder what planet you are living on and where your knowledge of fighting comes from because it doesn't come from Martial Arts training, or any type of objective research on weight lifting and strength training.
So let me put this in to proper perspective for you....
Bruce Lee was strong for his size. No one who knows anything about him believes he was weak for his size or that because he was a 135 pound Chinese man (what does his ethnicity have do to with anything?!) that he was skinny or weak. If you look at his physique he is what is known in the bodybuilding community as ripped. His forearms are hyper developed. He has extremely low body fat (by my estimate below 6%) and all of his muscles are defined. His body was built for a balance of speed, power and flexibility or as Rick Wing put it in his book Showdown in Oakland: "Lee was 5 feet 7 inches and 140 pounds of taut, hair-trigger muscle." Now anyone who knows anything about weightlifting knows that a man's size puts a limit on how strong he can get. In terms of percentile strength the maximum amount of weight a man can lift is slightly over twice their body weight. That's it. No matter what your size is you can't get much stronger than that. We happen to actually know how much Bruce Lee could lift or at least how much he could curl. According to Christopher D. Hess, a Martial Arts and fitness expert who analyzed Bruce Lee's weight lifting notes, Bruce Lee performed bicep curls using a weight of 80 pounds and 8 repetitions.
This equates to a one-rep maximum of 110 pounds and would place him in the 100th percentile for the 121-140 pound weight class. So based on his bicep curl he was about as strong as you could get for a man his size. His squat stats were less impressive so his upper body strength was well above his lower body strength (Joe Lewis noted that Bruce Lee had skinny legs and his real side kicks on the shield and heavy bag in his backyard video don't look that powerful). But let's assume for a moment that Bruce Lee's bench press was close to the 100th percentile for a man weighing 140 pounds (in an interview Bruce Lee said he weighed 135 pounds but his weight fluctuated). Based on my calculation if Bruce Lee could bench exactly twice his body weight he would be able to lift
280 pounds placing him in the 95th percentile for a man his size. Assuming Michael Jai White is proportionally just as strong and can bench twice his body weight (a realistic assumption given his developed physique) he would be able to lift 460 pounds placing him in the 98th percentile for a man his size. So the difference is 180 pounds.
In terms of strength this difference is absolutely dramatic. This is greater than the difference between a grown man and a boy. In MMA terms we are talking about a bantamweight fighting a heavyweight here. With that much strength Michael Jai White could knock out Bruce Lee with one punch and seriously injure him or rag doll him. Honestly he could easily kill him with repeated blows. I agree that number of styles you know isn't important it's all about putting what you know together. White however has benefited from modern training and trains with world champion Boxers and Mixed Martial Artists so I believe he has more skill than Bruce Lee did. So even if you want to discount his Black Belts in 8 Martial Arts disciplines that alone would give him the edge. Bruce Lee's street fighting exploits don't mean much. We don't know who he fought. The odds that he fought a 6'1" and 230 pound man with the athleticism and Martial Arts skill of Michael Jai White on the streets of Hong Kong is slim to none. Bruce Lee was a teenager back then and his gang fights have been portrayed as him hanging out with a few school friends goofing off and getting in to occasional fights with local boys (watch Young Bruce Lee). There's also video from Bruce Lee's family archive featuring these rooftop fights he participated in which you can watch on TH-cam. The video I saw featured two skinny boys using traditional Kung Fu who looked like terrible and clumsy fighters.
@Aammaann87: Michael Jai White did not call out Bruce Lee. He said he could beat him after he was asked a question. As for Steven Seagal, what Martial Arts tournaments did he compete in? Last time I checked Aikido was Seagal's primary discipline. Can you show me a video of Aikido being used effectively in a real fight by Seagal or anyone else? As for Michael Jai White he mostly competed in point Karate which there is video of but also Kyokushin Karate which is full-contact (no punches to the face). White's Martial Arts competition wouldn't put him on the level of modern Mixed Martial Artists but way above Steven Seagal.
From Michael Jai White's bio on Martialartsentertainment.com:
As a martial artist, Michael Jai White holds eight black belts of varying degrees in eight different martial arts forms. He began training in the martial arts at the age of eight and he achieved his first black belt at the age of twelve. He has over twenty years of experience in the arts.
He was originally a student of the legendary Shigeru Oyama, (who was, at the time, the world renowned head of the U.S. Kyokushin Karate Association and who is currently the head of World Oyama Karate). Michael Jai White went on to achieve a black belt in seven other karate styles; Shotokan, ITF Tae Kwon Do, WTF Tae Kwon Do, Kobudo, Goju Ryu, Tang Soo Do and in the Superfoot system. Michael tested for and earned his 8th degree Black Belt at the JLFS/Superfoot summer conference on October 11, 2013. He has also had years of Wu-Shu Kung Fu training under current American Wu-Shu team coach, Eric Chen.
Michael Jai White has trained privately with the likes of Bill” Superfoot” Wallace, Benny ” The Jet” Urquidez, Shihan Bobby Lowe, Shokei Matsui, Jean Claude Van Damme, James Lew, Don ” the Dragon ” Wilson, Peter Cunningham, Billy Blanks, Gene Lebell and Joe Lewis. Michael Jai White has also worked behind the scenes on stunt fighting sequences with Steven Segal.
Michael Jai White himself has amassed countless trophies, awards and Grand Championship honors from open “point System” to inter-federational tournaments both at home and abroad, throughout his twenty-plus years
as a martial artist. The U.S. Open, North American J.K.A., World Knockdown Free sparring Champion are among many titles earned by Michael Jai White before he moved to Los Angeles to continue his already successful dramatic acting career.
Need I say more?
Steven Seagal ducked a challenge to fight Randy Couture in a public exhibition (offered him a private match) and got choked out by Gene Lebell. Fighters such as Cung Le don't appreciate his arrogance and claims to have taught accomplished fighters like Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida how to do a front kick. Those training videos of him "teaching" them are embarrassing. So Seagal really needs to stop talking shit. He hasn't done anything in competitive Martial Arts competition. Michael Jai White has. He's really just mad because White doesn't consider Seagal to be a serious Martial Artist. By the way he carries himself who can blame him?
One more thing, clearly I put some time in to making a serious post. I think I deserve a serious response. If you are going to bother with a response try to avoid the trolling and flaming nonsense you did the other day. I don't have time for that.
You had time to troll me for hours. You're just not a serious participant on this topic.
MysticNinjaJay thank you. awesome post.
bruce would've won hands down. Micheal says because he's bigger he'd beat him but his size would be his own worst enemy. Bruce will use it against him.i don't think Micheal can beat Donnie yen either
Michael* not "micheal"
who gives a shit
I would love to see it though
blacktee31 word!
he will ko you big black ass in 5 sec
Bruce Lee created his own style and own philoshophy if martial arts; no way! 😂
Speed matters too. You'll never see his kicks coming.
"I can beat Bruce Lee" He shows no class and lots of disrespect to say that, number 1 you talking about someone who has passed away and can't even defend himself against your moronic statement. Mike Jai White I hope you read this cuz I'll never watch any movie or anything else connected to you
You show dishonor and disrespect by trashing another man's name through assumption.
Respect doesn't mean compromising your beliefs and disregarding actual experiences you have had that make you believe what you believe(his career around fighting doesn't afford him the whatever to ignore a 100 pound difference in size when sizing up a fight.
Oh, and he never himself uses the words "I can beat Bruce Lee" as your comment let on
Yeah Bruce Lee would handle him like how water puts out fire!
Zirconium Arthiritis true dem
zCaulder you're absolutely right but people loved bruce so much they don't wanna believe that but i agree with you.

This guy is awesome, but I still think the way Bruce Lee adapted and trained there's no way he would beat him.
BRUCE ALL THE WAY
Bruce is 135 lbs and never fought anyone. He never had not one single professional fight. There is no footage of him fighting yet you think he can cause Hollywood movies 😭
@@sitoperez3715 he was just a martial arts inventor, practitioner, philosopher, actor not a REAL fighter nor as good as in films. Complete bull-shit. I grew up as a kid watching his movies, emulating his style and thought he was "unbeatable" and a "grandmaster" above all prior to him and up til now I realised that martial arts and traditional dogmas and doctrines are useless in real combat form of fighting. Bruce Lee was just "good" and better amongst his students - everything else about him being superior is speculations, insinuations and hearsays....
@Vincent Preston th-cam.com/video/aHRA0PIQeeY/w-d-xo.html not much but more than Bruce besides I'm smart enough to know they make weight classes for a reason. Not saying White is on a Jon Jones level
lol all you guys who never fought in your life man, you guys clearly don't understand how much of a difference weight makes in fighting competitions
Size does matter. That's why a little termite could destroy a mighty oak.

MJW wouldn't be able to fight back either after BL gouged his eyes out of the sockets
Well said man 👏👏👏
your fucken dumb dude. no it doesnt -_- ask any real masters and they will all disagree with you

@Clench Chad Man
Are you saying that the testimony of James Colburn, Jim Kelly, Joe Lewis, Jackie Chan and other martial arts experts don't matter ?
Nevertheless, Bruce Lee has demonstrated his ability by giving exhibitions. Plus his films, which show his technique and speed, reveal him to be unmatched.
Bruce will always be pound for pound the best. Michael after you find out that you couldn't hit him Bruce would go in for a kill. Speed matters too. David vs Goliath.

brunobad56 Bruce Lee not the only one, God knew also! 😉👍👍😇
Bruce will fuck him up.. he might be a smaller dude but he is fast as hell.. the bigger you are the slower you are, its common sense, it don't matter about the size..
You are stupid if you think size doesn't matter even though bruce lee was fast as fuck mjw is one of the fastest big guys ever, clearly you don't know what he's capable of.
Bruce lee was so fast no martial artist was able to touch him
Let's be honest here. First of all the interviewer gave a loaded question. MJW could've said any name and guess what, they'd still get all bent out of shape. Why ask that question if you truly believe that he was unbeatable? Drama.
Hahaa..bruce no record ...u must b3 cult belive wothout research.. bruce also have no ground game..muhammad ali destroy him
Bruce Lee was more of an actor than a fighter. Michael Jai White has I think 7 different black belts and is more of a fighter than an actor. Michael is 6 ft tall, Lee is 5 ft 7 so Michael has a longer reach than Lee. Michael outweighs Lee by around 100 lbs. Although Lee is fast Michael is not slow. Michael is bigger and would last longer than Lee. Lee's famous punches and stuff wouldn't be effective against Michael because he isn't gonna stand there and let him hit him. Overall if a fight were to occur between the two it's obvious that Michael would win.
AJ Wash u no nothing about martial art u just got 2 shay something michael is good but bruce lee is the greatest ever and no one would no who will when u guys only saying that because bruce lee is dead
KERRY DAWKINS not only have I been boxing for 3 years I have a black belt in karate and jiu-jitsu now if you'd please stop assuming things and learn how to spell that would be great
and i been doing martial art 4 15 years and tell your mother to learn how 2 spell
bruce lee hater
AJ Wash Bruce Lee can backup his reputation, although it is exaggerated a lot. Bruce Lee did not master one single martial art, he incorporated many styles into his martial arts. Bruce would qualify to be black belt, but just because you have a black belt, it does not mean you are a good fighter. He even if invented one Jeet Kune Do, which is effective in a real fight, although Bruce Lee is not limited by it.
Bruce Lee was familiar enough with the major martial arts, to fight against them, and also to use them in his advantage. Bruce Lee IQ is above Michael Jai White, even in regards to fighting. Bruce Lee does not even require the upper hand to win, he is fully able to customize his method to win the fight.
This does not mean Michael Jai White is just Hollywood, but the truth is he has not shown he is able to fight the caliber of a fighter, such as Bruce Lee. Even by this short video, he relies upon weight as his upper hand, but that is counter acted easily by a skilled fighter.
The BruceLee fans will never draw any comparison between White and Lee in anyways. Because there is no one is good enough to compare to Lee. -Peace
I love seeing how much hate he got for this comment. You can walk it back all you want, MJW, but you ain't ever going to live it down. You really stepped in it with that one.
I love my brother Michael Jai White but his comment on Bruce Lee is foolish. To flat out say that he would be him based on weight is insane. Especially in the Martial Art. Him, of all people on this planet, should have known better to say that. I would question if he could be Wesley Snipes? Bruce Lee did not fight a physical fight. That's where I was most surprised by his comment. I'm not trying to state some Hollywood bullshit about Bruce either but by the interviews of people from way back when who trained with him like, Grandmaster Jim Kelly (RIP) who would have laughed at Michael Jai for that comment. I believe Bruce would have been Jai within seconds. Bruce was too quick, agile, knowledgeable of the anatomy and too Spiritually conformed for MJW to fuck with in an open sparring match. In other words, Bruce would have fucked him up. Respectfully. Don't ever shit on Bruce Lee's name.
Dude. Weight classes exists for a reason. Be honest here. Obviously, the bigger and stronger guy is going to have a significant advantage. White is a very experienced martial artist himself. Plus, White is pretty fast for his size. He isn't insulting Bruce Lee's name at all. He's just reiterating the opinion that he would win in a fight. It's a very reasonable assumption. Bruce Lee was a great martial artist and he's truly iconic, but we need to remove ourselves from this bias of thinking that he was absolutely unbeatable.
Bruce Lee I didn't say that White would simply win because he is bigger, I said that White's size is a significant advantage. As far as far martial arts experience goes, White actually has more credentials in that department. White has won several tournaments. Bruce Lee did not win any. White has 7 Black Belts. Bruce Lee did not have any. White is 6'0 tall, 230 lbs. Lee was 5'7 tall, 145 lbs. So looking at the facts on paper. White is longer, heavier, stronger, and has *far* more credentials as a martial artist. Now I do not mean any disrespect for Bruce Lee at all. He is a legend and thought ahead of his time in the concept of mixed of martial arts. But looking at all of the facts, the only objective conclusion we can come to is a victory in White's favor for a hypothetical match up.
Bruce Lee Of course we can't say who would win with "100%" certainty. But based on the available facts, it is clear that White's victory would be a safer bet and his comment that he can beat Bruce Lee was far from "foolish" (like the person in the first post said). There is no objective reason to automatically assume that Lee would beat White in seconds.
size can be also a significant disadvantage. More Size / More mass makes you slower and everytime you get on the floor you will have more problems everytime you get back up because for faster drain of Endurance and Stamina. Bruce wouldn't have the Power of MJW, nor he could "tank" some hits like him, but bruce would endure longer, is faster and more agile. MJW would have trouble to even reach him because of his size and mass, eventually he gets tired. It would be an"opposite" match and on those "opposite" type of matches, the one who endures longer, wins.
Bruce didn't win any tournament because he simply didn't want to take part. He refuses to fight a fight with rules. Before he was a philosopher, before he founded Jeet Kune Do, he was an exceptional Kung Fu Fighter and fought in the streets where no one could touch him. He was arrogant and a bully until his mind calmed down and listened to reason. Bruce would never fight on UFC because of the rules. On the streets, MJW would have trouble against him. On the Ring it's another story.
Omg...you young fellas have no idea ....Bruce was renowned for havn emmense power enuf to take out ANY human being...and do you think Bruce never sparred..faught or trained anyone the size of MJW ??...lol ...il bet your man has had fuk all experience with 100% no rules life or death unarmed combat ....see Bruce learnt to fight in the 40's..50's..60's..etc ..n china in those days was a dog eat dog world where street fighting was a daily occurance with no rules etc which is the very reason he developed his fighting system because he wanted to be the best n dont worry he wud happily take on bigmouth MJW and he wud disassemble and embarrass him just like he did every single opponent or challenger thru out his brief life .....
One thing that hasn't really been considered here is that if Micheal Jai White was around at the time of Bruce Lee he'd probably of been smaller than Bruce Lee (because of a lack of sports/nutritional supplements), also lacking in the physical abilities of him. And If Bruce Lee was around in this era he could of conceivably made better use of sports nutrition to be as strong as Micheal Jai White. So even Micheal Jai White's argument about size is wrong even if you take away the fact that Bruce Lee had created his own art before 26, which would probably adapt to the regimented arts that Micheal has stubbornly stuck too.
+Sam Mathews Ok, we feel you on that!
No offense but he's a black man and blacks on an average don't need supplements to be big.
That's the most moronic generalization I've ever heard. It's got nothing to do with being black/white/Asian etc, it's about your genetics and how you are brought up. P.s: Saying no offense doesn't mean I'm not going to take offense, I find your view deeply offensive and Is one best left in the last century...
+Sam Mathews
Michael Jai White would still be the same height as he is without supplements and as someone who has been training in martial arts a long time it is likely he would have a big frame too to support such activity. However, in my opinion, Bruce Lee would out speed him in every aspect, and if you can imagine what a kick from Bruce lee would be like (surely rock solid, plus Lee's force behind it which as we know, a one inch punch from him carries serious pounds of force) to any part of Jai's body it would surely cause as much damage if not more than anyone twice Lee's size. Because his body was so conditioned his attacks would much more felt, even if Jai was more powerful
Force, plus lightning speed and rock solid limbs = Bruce Lee as winner
-My opinion
+Sam Mathews
Most Asians do have less density in their muscles and bones and have a much smaller frame. Maybe that is what he meant
I think a lot of you are taking Bruce Lee’s movies too seriously
this guy would be shitting his pants now had bruce been standing infront of him
Bruce Lee had plenty of fights all over China to be well known in fighting circles off camera. How many real fights has White had to be recognized as a real fighter?
+scarred4evr03 Good point!
+scarred4evr03 He had to do a 20man kumite to get his black belt in Kyokushin Karate. Which is 20 1min fights in a row against Black Belts. Which is about 20min more fighting than Bruce Lee has been involved in, because he's never been in a fight.
+scarred4evr03 I love how you added the "off camera" part to ensure that you don't actually have to provide any evidence for your lie
Lie huh...Chinese fighters constantly take on movie stars especially during those days. Mr. White is obviously a talented martial artist however, he'll have to do much more than fight his classmates for a minute per to impress the Chinese people! There are plenty of Shaolin and wing chun masters that would gladly allow White an audience. American movie stars love talking but too pretty to fight skinny hungry Chinese men. If he fought in China he would be much more than " Great White lie".
"Shaolin and Wing Chun masters" lmfao. Try and provide one piece of evidence that Bruce Lee had "plenty of fights around China". Go on just one.
Bruce Lee could knock a 250 man back between 3-5 feet with 1-inch punch.
He bench pressed 3 times his bodyweight.
He could hold his on bodyweight with his arms extended for at least 20 seconds.
His kicks had to be slowed down for cameras to see.
Lee could crack him in the nuts...end of story.
One handed push-up with thumb and finger
These are all lies
If a man stands fully upright with his feet together like in his "one in punch" demonstrations, you could knock him back too.
Bruce lee never benched pressed three times his weight, stop smoking crack.
If there's a afterlife, all these fighters claiming they can beat Bruce Lee, they'll be lining up to fight Bruce Lee and will be getting humiliated...
Vergil the legendary dark slayer Word!! 👊🏽👍🏽💯
ABSOLUTELY
reach and weight will still count...

Its hilarious how grown men are like little wide eyed kids thinking an actor with ZERO martial arts competition experience could beat the best fighters of his day and today too. Lee was an entertainer who trained in martial arts YES. But he never fought the best in either competition or the street, that is a fact. We see he is quick in choreographed moves but did we ever see if he had a chin to take a hit?
Maybe its psychological and people who have low self esteem need to believe a man immortalised on screen is the best ever at fighting. They tale comfort in believing that the MMA guys who can kick their ass today would be destroyed by Lee's lighting quick kicks! Lee dying at an early age in mysterious ways may also romanticise the notion of him being an unbeatable fighting God for ever.
So to the martial arts realists, please please don't ridicule the Bruce lee fan boys, they need to hold onto (and further build) onto the myth of his great fighting legacy.
Then why are all the champions like Chuck Norris trained with him, Chuck even said that he was Bruce lee's student?
Dude, we never saw Bruce lee in real life, but i can tell you that hundreds of eye witnesses tell the exact same thing, he was a monster.
Man, we should let the dead rest. Goddamn it. Dude's a legend, respect that. Move on. Beat who's alive and make a name for yourself. Become a legend yourself.
But legit fighters have to deal with his goofy fans telling them Bruce would beat them all the time. They don’t let it rest.
@@ZBR_ProXP Michael J White isn't a legit fighter, wtf you talking about.
@@MrTubeWizard he is a legit fighter
@@vinnicinhus44 Oh yeah show me? I've looked everywhere and i can't find any evidence he's competed at all... You idiots don't know what real is you're deluted .

Michael Jai White is really overestimating himself, and clearly has his ass on his shoulders!!!...........Bruce Lee?? I don't think so!!
