He mentioned Hitler - so? His point was that you can be a respected person, but you're still capable of lying through your teeth to get what you want.
I see everyone is talking about bruce's fighting skills and strength...
I have read from quite a few good sources, which quote bruce's few and close friends, about his feats of strength and speed.
He could, according to these friends, pick up a 70 pound dumbbell and roll it over his forearms and lift it laterally, and hold it there for a good few seconds. this was all done slowly. He could also do push ups with 250 pounds on his back.
He would demolish punching bags. His had to be made extra heavy.
He could jump 8 feet high. And I have seen from his movies that he is a very good acrobat, and very fast.
He has been measured with a device that measured his punching speed. hundredths of a second. very fast.
Maybe he has not been in many real fights, but I would assume that he has practiced in some pretty vicious fake fights among some pretty good fighters.
I would not say he overtrained to the point of physical peril. According to the majority of sources, he trained 3 times a week and ate a lot.
He did not train for mass, but for power. His famous "one inch punch" where he could punch a man 15 feet, was his power. He was more focused on strengthening the tendons and ligaments, I believe.
In my opinion, I do not think the numerous MMA fighters today would be able to compete against bruce very well. They all appear very slow and sluggish, their strikes almost meaningless. Just slapping around until they can grab and hold each other in a lock forever. Bruce had amazing speed, and explosive power. The MMA are slow, and I see so many areas where they could be attacked, but the other fighter is just as slow and cumbersome....

You are quite obviously ignorant and niave when it comes to MMA; this is extremely apparent by your comments.
And while I'm a huge Bruce Lee fan myself, your comments really did nothing to prove his worth as an actual fighter. Watching Spike TV reruns of old Bruce Lee flicks on Saturday afternoon does not make one an authority on his fighting ability. If you are going to post comments like yours, back them up. Anecdotal reports of "punching a guy 15 feet" do more harm then good.
Oh, and welcome to EF. Better luck with your second post.
Thanks for the welcome.
I am ignorant about MMA. I am speaking only of what I see on UFC's reality show. I assume the majority correlate MMA with this. If there is a strong difference between UFC and other MMA, please inform me.
I am not trying to be an authority on him, I am just trying to give information that hasn't been given.
I just see a strong bias against bruce lee on this forum, and wanted to give a different view.
What is an "actual" fighter? I am simply stating that his feats in his movies, which are good proof, and sufficient I must say, show, to a good degree, of how he would fare in a fight. The testimonials from his friends seem strong proof as well, although the 15 feet punch may have been exagerrated. I have never seen a Bruce Lee movie on spike, hah. I rented the DVD's and studied them.
I will post my sources very soon.

Bruce Lee Kicked ass!
You wann know why?
Because he was chinese.
okay just wanted to get in on this argument, other then that i have no factual evidence stating he kicked ass except Movies, Magazine, cartoons, and action figures.
but I do have proof that he was more attractive then Jet Li OR Jackie Chan.
