Chuck Norris. LOL
Doesn't "heart" and an inner drive to never stop count for anything? I bet it does. If we're talking about a SMART fighter. You are all focusing so much on physics, weight, etc but forgetting about INNER power, fortitude, inner strength, personal power, etc.
Tyson is a bully and, like all bullies, once his ass was properly good and kicked, never threatened anyone ever again. Lee? He faced racism and bigotry at a much harsher time than Tyson did and therefore had more "drive" than the average martial artist (which is probably what killed him, over-training). Was the drive for fame rather than proficiency? Perhaps...but drive is still drive, and Lee had it way above Tyson.
So if we are betting on "the man" I go with Lee. Never underestimate whoever wants it more will win. One good hit to Tyson and the bully would fade like the pussy he is. Lee would fight to the death.
PS: Please read some Bruce Lee biographies. He DID "fight", and win, and kick countless asses. Did he fight "professionally" as in a boxing federation etc? No, but that does not mean he did not "fight" or was not a fighter. Also, remember the Era we are discussing here. Just like with Football and most sports, you cannot compare "eras". The 1950's-early 1970's is nothing like the 1990's-present. The comparison should really be Ali vs. Lee but the height difference alone would be rough.
Hey didn't Lee kick Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's ass? Haha!!
