This topic idea was derived from the wgtour forum, but conversation there was difficult with some stubborn people-_-;; I bring it here so I can get some more sensible replies and opinions.

Who would win this fantasy fight, and why? Also, what other fights would you pay to watch

Ding ding ding!

Bruce Lee definitely, I mean even if Ali got some hits on him it wouldn't knock him out. Lee would be too fast for Ali!

Bruce Lee would annihilate Ali in a second. Ali trained for the ring, Lee trained for himself, meaning, no holds barred. Ali doesnt even know how to kick, nor does he know what to do against finger jabs to the eye.

By the way, Lee's sidekick was so powerful it wrecked punchings bags. He kicked a 100 pound punching bag so hard it hit the roof and ripped.

yup, he'd just run through ali's utter trash defense because ali was so weak and slow, jump up, and poke him in the eye

Tien, agreed. Jeet Kun Do is roughly based on kicks to the groin, finger jabs and slaps to the ear.

sooo effective in self-defence.
gogo Bruce!

I think it would be more even if you matched up bruce against jet li/donny yen/van damme/stallone/arnold at the same time.

c'mon idiots.
ali trained in practicality.
what on earth does lee know about defense.
a 6'5 220 pounder hits you in the head bareknuckled, you are liable to die.

what does Lee know about defence? How about being able to knock your damn head off with a well-timed side kick? Plus, as I stated, Lee's martial arts system that he developed, Jeet Kun Do is still today a very effective form of self-defence.

fundamental problem of size
for lee to successfully attack, he has to threaten, adjust his position (2-3 feet 45 degs off) and attack off the bias
all this without ali being able to adjust
c'mon
he eats jabs whenever he makes an aggressive action
he eats jabs on the retreat
and don't tell me he doesn't retreat because he'd need to cover 6 feet worth of jabs (nominal standoff + forward movement through the guard)
that is 3-4 successful evasions
that does not happen
then what does he do in the event he gets there?
he'd literally have to jump to strike ali in the head
striking a man in the head, or takedown tactics are the only ways to put a man on his back
lee cannot take ali down through grappling
so now you have lee jumping up and down
c'mon
fights are won when one is on his back, and the other is putting boots to the other's face
it is impossible to achieve that against an athlete of ali's stature
