Michael Jai White seriously thinks he could beat up Bruce Lee....... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH

It's easy to talk trash about someone that isn't here anymore.

I have nothing but respect for Bruce Lee.

Mike Tyson was smaller than pretty much every person he fought in boxing except for Roy Jones.

It's true that only a man who knows fighting respects another fighter! Bruce🐐🗿🤝🏻Mike🐐🗿

Bruce Lee will always be number 1!

Its that quick punch that you don't see is what drops. Every punch Bruce Lee threw is what you would never see coming.

The statistics show that boxing knockouts are more and more rare the lower you go in weight class. That has to mean something.

I don't understand how people "claim" Bruce Lee is "just an actor" as if he was making countless of films & shows PRIOR to studying martial arts! It was BECAUSE of his high-level SKILLS & ABILITIES in martial arts that allowed him TO GET those acting jobs, NO DIFFERENT than MJW or OTHER well-known action stars! 🤷

Anyone can be beaten in the street there is no rules. The fact that Michael jai white used the rationale of his size, and other factors to dismiss Bruce Lee. Clearly never read his jeet kun du book. Bruce Lee practiced the art of true combat. No rules. No style. Adaptation. He practiced eye gouge techniques, he studied the anatomy for the sheer purpose of inflicting brut force trauma to another person. Where to break knee caps, fish hooking, biting, he even trained his jaw to bite. He was freakishly strong for his size too. He trained for every possibility scenario. In his pursuit of ultimate victory in combat. It’s Ruthless. In fact one should always remain humble and put the 50/50 equality in regards to being asked such a question. You want to remain humble but also not arrogant or a coward and dictate in some way that you are so weak that you just cave to defeat. Martial arts is an art form, that has boundaries and limitations. What Bruce Lee was striving for was no limitations. He wasn’t training for sport. Belts don’t mean anything, other than maybe in the street you may just get strangled with it. Certificates can look nice on the mantle piece, trophies. But at the end of the day, they are just for decoration. Street fighting there is no rules no rules at all.

Joe Lewis said that Bruce hit as hard as a heavyweight and he knew because he was hit by him in sparring. That is why he decided to go full contact fighting and first full contact kickboxing champ. On top of all his other accolades! Many more as well have said this from his insane speed , timing, knowledge and skills ,he was untouchable jim Kelly. Jackie Chan,Donnie Yen,Connor McGregor,Chuck Norris,Jon Jones,Gene lebell etc have all said something to this effect. Most importantly Danny Insonato,Jesse Glover ,James Demile all stated he dismantled everyone regardless of size and their skill .

Now Tyson is a guy who knows about "THE ROUNDS OF THE CHAMPIONS" (song on u tube) and what Bruce Lee was all about. Both Bruce Lee and Mike Tyson fought with the established order of the entertainment industry. Bruce Lee was on his way to super greatness and we all know about his sad demise. Tyson has made more come backs than anyone and everyone must admit both Bruce and Tyson are monster men, torn born warriors. Both men must be given a certain amount of respect for their guts and staying power in a very hard, tough world. Respect!

When I first heard Michael Jai White say this, I remember that I instantly lost all respect for him.

Michael Jai White said Jackie Chen in his prime could beat Bruce Lee... When I saw that interview I LOST all respect for MJW! It's clear there is some type of hate towards Lee from Michael. For a man/Jackie who started his career in the Chinese performance academy, his hero/inspiration was Charlie Chaplin. To say this man can beat Bruce Lee who grew up fighting in the STREETS workout every single day and was the father of MMA. The man who invented protein drink. The man who started electric shock therapy as a workout. The same man that worke out and sparring with high-level professional fighters. Jackie is the dude that could beat Bruce. I saw an old interview with Jackie and they asked him if he could beat Bruce Lee... He started laughing and said NO, that I'm a performer and Lee is a fighter. Big difference. But MJW doesn't see it that way. I have no respect for him and I will never watch another one of his movies. MJW is like ESPN promoting LeBron James as the Goat when all the stats that matter say he's not.

Once I learned how to fight, I decided I never wanted to fight anyone else who knew how to fight. Knowing how to throw a punch the right way and with power was my moment. I didn't want to get hit with that.

Bruce Lee used to train for what we call in Chinese “dead strength”. it’s brute strength. His physique and muscles were like steel despite his stature.

Speed multiplied translates to power, but not the other way around. Bruce was without a doubt, the absolute GOAT.

100 pound advantage is like bullying a child

MMA fighter Rickson Gracie - "Everything Bruce Lee spoke was the true essence of martial arts and his philosophy about fighting was a 100% correct." UFC goat Anderson Silva - "Wing Chun and the Bruce Lee stuff, saved my life inside the ring and cage!"

And this video and comment section is why Michael Jai White said he wished he never said he could've beaten Bruce Lee 😂

Jai White is trying to make a name for himself with his bravado. He never lived during Lee’s lifetime that respected martial artists did like Norris,Kelly,Labelle,Lewis… He can talk trash all he wants but real fighters know Lee would have destroyed him

Bruce Lee was sparring pro top 10 heavy weights during the late 60's, early 70's.

Fact mohammad ali Once Said that bruce lee as small as he was could hit with just as much power as a full blown heavyweight boxer When bruce only weighed a hundred and thirty pounds

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

The footages tells it all about Bruce's fighting abilities. He could not be blocked or touched. And his power in kicking and punching was explosive and deadly.

Bros literally saying weightclasses are imaginary 🤣

A jaw is a jaw. How strong your jaw is and your reaction time matters.

I have no respect for MJW ,lost respect for him. Simply for attacking continuously someone who cant defend themselves anymore,as well as his son even being lost to a tragedy. Yet he still shows no respect for the family.

People are not fools to call Bruce Lee a Legend. Bob Marley, Tupac, James Dean, Muhammad Ali ....all Legends

A true martial artist can clearly see how Skillful, Knowledgeable and Powerful Bruce Lee was right away. If someone can’t see that, then that person is not a true martial artist or fighter.

There's so many people that actually believe size doesn't mean anything but it means a helluva lot when you know how to use it

This is a beautiful video, thank you for creating it.

Chuck Norris never gives a real straight to the point comment bout Bruce Lee without first giving himself credit and watering down the respect. I sense a hint of envy

Thank you, Bruce was nearly all young boys inspiration to fight, Certainly mine. Watching that footage brought joy, and sadness. Thanks again

Speed >size, Michaels never been in a real fight, like mike Tyson said, everybody body’s got a plan until you get punched in the face.

Yeah Bruce Lee was just an actor. But bro was playing table tennis with nunchucks 💀

Size is a FACTOR. It's not the only factor. All there is to it.

"Money doesn't matter." -Rich people "Looks don't matter" -Attractive people "Size Doesn't Matter" -Heavyweights 😂 😂

Well tyson is only 5 foot ten ... So he knows what hes talking about

This is the best Bruce Lee edit ive ever seen! Thank you brother!! 🔥

Michael had a chance to fight in the UFC in the 90's and early 2000's but he was a mute ghost at the time. Fast forward to him being an elderly man who now says hes to old to compete he won't shut up. He has to be related to Steven Seagal.

Somewhere out there is a hater by the name of Quentin Tarintino who wishes all the stuff they say in this video wasn't true.

Bruce lee punch at one point average 2-300 pounds with extreme speed and accuracy😂. Not to say the kick😂

THANK YOU SO MUCH , downloaded this inspirational book of knowledge

I don't know why Jim Kelly's opinion isn't given more consideration given what he accomplished in martial arts and what he saw Bruce do in person.

Chuck Norris can do a push-up while sitting down

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.

Wow! Epic! You did it again beerdy, I solute you sir

If size doesn't matter, then why are there weight divisions? Let's get real!

WHEN I WATCH OLD BRUCE LEE FOOTAGE IT BRING ME TO TEARS

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.

Size doesn’t matter but there is context. I say this as a lightweight boxer myself. It definitely matters in competition when there’s an “even” playing field. Now beating a bigger person less skilled than you are or catching them by surprise is one thing for a small guy but beating someone just as trained or skilled as you but much bigger.. highly unlikely.

If yall don’t think size matters, yall are crazy.

you have to look at those who in the professional compacity of The martial arts had to say. Look at Chuck Norris , Joe Lewis, you know the guys who actually sparred with Bruce Lee. Im sorry but given his weight Bruce Lee is Still the Champion among Champions. No disrespect to or from what any of those people accomplished. But there will always be one person everyone compares themselves too, and That is Bruce Lee. To me there is no comparisons. He is the Greatest .

My first time seeing the Bruce Lee vs Joe Lewis footage.....incredible

So if size doesn't matter, then why are there different weight classes?

Size does matter to an extent can't move a big strong body

During the 70s, I respected Bruce Lee because he was more dedicated than I was to training. But I was not a famous actor. My mom thought I was insane because most young people my age had dating interests and college goals, while I had nothing but martial arts in my head. Training at midnight and morning in my room to the point that my parents tried to get me psychiatric help. Now my father is proud of me.

whos that jai white character? never heard of him before 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Buster Douglas, the boxer that upset Mike Tyson back in 1990, was asked in a recent interview if Mike Tyson was the hardest hitter he faced. He answered "no" and explained that one of his sparring partners who weighed about 175 hit the hardest

Size doesn't matter, just look at Mike Tyson for a good lesson in that. I cannot think of a single heavyweight fight that he was in where he was the larger fighter.

Mike did not say size does not matter. He did say size doesn’t mean you can’t have knockout power.

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.

Absolutely ridiculous, if the heavyweight guy is a fighter of course size matters

Mike Tyson knows. Mike had exceptional defense skills. Great reflexes. U can't beat, what u can't touch! Lee Jun Fan FOREVER Thx Sensei ❤

This video was sick! So underrated!

What I think that makes Bruce Lee untouchable or unbeatable because of his intelligence ( in my opinion) Bruce's mind he could easily understand what move you gonna make he can read your move set and timing and he already knew about your attacks whether it's any kick or any punch and that sharp mind that understanding makes any fighter unbeatable

Agree with MT

That gentleman sparring Joe Lewis moves and fights like Bruce but I have never in all my fanatical years studying Master Lee seen him with what looks like a mullet Beerdy correct me if I am wrong or not seeing the footage correctly. I do agree with the premise of your video in a real fight Bruce could best anyone with his ability to find a weakness in anyone size build style skills level with lethal proficiency. But in mma that would not be a certainty due to rules. Keep up the great content 🙏🏽

If bruce living under such science and nutrition era, he will sure win all class with no doubt😂

If size does not matter then why in fighting sports fighters are separated by weight class?

Since when does being 100 lbs heavier have anything to do with getting kicked in the face by Bruce Lee? All that means is 100 extra pounds will be hitting the canvas. 💯

For competitive fighters, size does matter. For self defense, however, quickness is probably more valuable. The reason is that you've got to strike fast and then get the hell out of there.

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.

I believe tyson, mjw, and bruce would destroy everyone talking shit in the comment if they were to fight any pf them so shut up. Jesus, somebody always trying to compare people to others. Each is good at their own thing.

I can tell many here have never fought before or even stepped foot in a dojo. There is A LOT of delusion and hurt egos in this chat lol. We dont even have to get into the martial arts. You folks do not understand the athleticism it takes for a man over 200 lbs to pull off the techniques he does with great technique and speed. Tyson is not a good example either. Yes he was a "smaller" heavyweight but thats due to him carrying little bodyfat. He carried more muscle mass than most technically still making him a bigger fighter that knew how to use his athleticism. Lee isnt winning here

First time seeing this footage with Joe Lewis. Thank you.

Marciano was 5'10" and had the shortest reach for a heavyweight champ and he's considered one of the hardest punchers. Ever.

If size truly doesn’t matter then who would win Jon Jones vs Mighty Mouse in their prime? Let’s see the “size doesn’t matter crowd” actually have brains

Size matters if both opponents are expert fighters..

My old kunfu master always told me that the sparing of 2 masters is as delicate as fighting 2 porcelain dolls.

I would like to see MJW say that exact line to Conor McGregor, whose a big Bruce Lee fan.🤣

The heavier, the easier off balance. People forgot about the skill of fight, your hand,leg cant roll 360 degree, Size not matter, only speed matter, only science matter, too many talking trash here, i beg your eyeball cant tolerate a 2-300 pounds punch, if a punch or kick of 2-300 pounds reach your head, then you will die no matter how heavy you are😂, unless your brain made of iron😂

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.

Size definitely matters

Chuck Norris doesn't have sex. Sex has Chuck Norris.

He's not saying size doesn't matter overall. He's saying it doesn't matter when it comes to knocking someone out

bruce lee would kill mike and jai together.

I fought a dude who was twice my size and he couldn't fight for shit. One of the easiest fights I've ever had. A lot of big dudes don't know how to fight and have 0 cardio lol.

What impresses me most of all is that you restore VHS tapes. Rescuing history is an honourable deed.

All I saying is that there will never be another Bruce Lee as deathly as him ever again...R.I P BRUCE LEE..

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.

The way he's destroying the heavy bag is insane. Never seen that even today

its true speed trumps power all the time. but lee was a beast in that he had both.

M J is a Hollywood tough guy

“Fighting wins fights” Said Floyd, but he doesn’t fight. He runs, he boxes, he hugs and he runs some more. He plays the game (near flawlessly) but he doesn’t fight.

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 Lee is the original founder of the MMA we do today

I remember this crap. Michael please stop.

If you're 6ft and up, weighing 175 to 180 is best for nice blend of stamina, speed and power.
