Bruce lee vs Mohamed ali boxing mach

jet lee would murder ali. not that he is stronger or a better fighter, but ive never heard of them having to speed a camera up so you can see ali's movements clearly. ali was a great boxer, but i don't think he would lay a glove on bruce or jet. thats the prob. they are tiny first of all and FAST.

Actually cameras have been slowed down numerous times to slow mo Ali's combinations so you can see all of the punches and their devastating effect as is common with many boxing matches. If a boxer can work a double end bag accurately I would also guess his hand speed is up to par with a movie actor's and the boxer is hitting a rapidly moving target accurately simultaneously. The actor only has to rely on speed without accuracy as his strikes are supposed to miss.

You are correct though in believing Ali wouldn't lay a glove on Jet Li. Ali would likely land a barrage of blows in combination in a very short period of time as he "threw punches in bunches", hence he would lay upwards to 10 gloves on him in the span of a couple of seconds. Keep in mind much of Ali's boxing footage is also filmed with him wearing gloves that are greater than 3/4 of a pound in weight and that slows his hand movement.

Ali would decimate any of the fighters mentioned. Ali was totally the top of the game when it came to boxing... and he studied TKD, judo, jujitsu, muay thai, and several other martial arts. Few people are aware that Ali was a rounded fighter because he so totally dominated boxing as one of the top heavyweights of all time.

If you took the boxing rules away and laid it down as anything goes... Ali would still have had game.

I wouldn't give Ali the easy win over some of the top MMA guys today... but for soemone like Bruce Lee or Jet Li it'd be an easy win for him. He'd kill them in the first half of the first round.

This example somewhat applies: Calzaghe vs. Lacy. http://www.dailymotion.com/relevanc...deo/x3ia5h_jeff-lacy-vs-joe-calzaghe-35_sport. Watch at about 1:50 of the 6th round. At normal speed it looks like Joe throws 6 or so punches, but if you go to the slow mo at the end and count he threw 10 punches and 9 of them landed. Again keep in mind this is with gloves over 3/4 of a pound in weight and round #6 where fatigue must be at least a bit of a slowing factor. A boxer with fast hands can chew you up in a hurry.

At boxing?

Let's see... Ali was a typical out-fighter, closing up his body and using his superior speed and reach to win. And trained boxing every day of the week.

Lee trained many arts, in many dimentions. While his pound for pound power was amazing, it's still nowhere near the punching power of a pure world class boxer weighing 100lbs more than him. Add his shorter reach to that as well.

Conclusion: Lee would probably not even get 1 clean shot in, and even if he did, it would never have the knock-out power to hurt a guy like ali. If Ali can keep Lee inside his striking range but outside Lee's with his legendary jabs and movement, he would never get in trouble. Actually, most world class boxers would never get into trouble vs Lee.
