Again... force = mass * acceleration. Mike Tyspn had unreal hand speed for his size which is why he had so many knockouts.

Bruce Lee had..., poor acting And some good ideas.... nothing more.

As Nick said, you could only believe Bruce Lee stood a chance if you don't understand what it is to see or feel a talented heavyweight boxer hitting to kill. No one is winning Glory, Strikeforce, K1, Pride, UFC, Thai Fight etc and thanking Bruce Lee for his one inch punch. He gets praise for standing up and openly saying that most of what Chinese styles are based around is silly and impractical and ineffective. That fact however, does not make him a talented fighter. It just makes him pragmatic. He is often referred to as "The Father of MMA" for his practical theories and thinking, not because of his abilities.

How many pro MMA fighters ever studied Jeet Kun Do? 1? 2? Maybe. What does that tell you?

Also people really don't get that moving quick on camera in choreographed routines - though sometimes impressive, does not translate into great fighting ability. Using speed for the camera is not the same as using speed AND power for devastating strikes.
The reason he would win is because Tyson would never land a hit on him. He was too fast, too nimble. And he could hit too, so while Tyson would be trying to get to him, he'd be able to land a few kicks.
Now, if Tyson would manage to hit him, Bruce Lee would go down, simply because of physics.
