Mike tyson FTW.
Little chinese guy is fast, but mike has street fighting in him, and if he starts to lose, he will bite off his ear.

F that.

Tyson couldn't even touch those lightning fast skillz.
"...kicks as fast as lightning..."

Bruce would be all like heeeeyaaaaa tiger strike. And Mike would be all like ouch thud.
I'm sorry, there is no way that dumb slow Mike Tyson would have a chance against Bruce Lee. His skills remain unmatched. He mopped the floor with Kareem Abdul Jabar in "Game of Death". Just look at the size of the footprint left on his chest.

Even Chuck Norris is no match:

Yes, I'm a Bruce Lee fan, but I'm not speaking from prejudice. His fighting ability is world-renowned. He had that perfect ability to adapt to whatever style his opponent favored. "Be like water," he said, take the shape of whatever contains you, flow through it, be impossible to grasp, yet be a solid force of your own.
Tyson wouldn't stand any better chance than either of these guys.

I'm an MMA fan, and boxers generally don't do very well against actual fighters. They need a LOT of additional training.
Blah blah blah, movie magic....
Real life fight, tyson for the win. He was knocking guys out who are trained to take punch after punch in what, 19 secs? Bruce would last longer than that cause he is quick enough that tyson would have a hard time hitting him, but would still fall victim to tyson and his punch.
Now of course, we aint talking bout bringing bruce back to life and making tyson fight zombie bruce lee are we?

I was about to say similar. In a boxing match with boxing rules, probably Tyson, though you never know since Bruce Lee's speed might just be too hard for Tyson to deal with.
But in just about any other kind of full on fighting, like MMA - without a shadow of a doubt Bruce Lee would make Tyson look like (not just sound like) a little girl.
I think anyone would be hard pressed to prove tyson is a boxer vs a street fighter. yes he boxed, but when in trouble, he resorted to street fighting and got banned. In a death match with no referee blowing the whistle and stopping the fight for low blows and biting ears, i say watch out, pieces of bruce flying everywhere.
and btw, i hate boxing and definitely not a fan of tyson.
My money's on the Bruce Lee zombie. Only way to win is to knock his melon completely off, without getting bit.
I saw a relevant video, but would probably get banned for posting it

well zombie bruce lee is a different story. especially if it zombie like the new dawn of the dead vs the old dawn of the dead. the old style zombies are slow moving. the new improved faster zombies and bruce lees skills, well that is one bad @$$ zombie.My money's on the Bruce Lee zombie.

Tyson is fast, I think Bruce Lee was faster. Both of them in their prime without gloves or a ref, I think Lee will take out Tyson. I think it would come down to reach and speed, and boxers are not trained to deal with kicks. In a regular street fight between people who do not practice any sort of art, kicks aren't used a lot. Those fights tend to devolve into a lot of grappling.
I do think that it would matter what the motivation is. Between those two, the attacker would lose.

Reach was never really a problem for Bruce though. He always managed to find a way to even the advantage the reach gives.
I realize the clips above are from movies, thus choreographed, but the strategy remains the same. When fighting Abdul-Jabar, he takes a few stabs at fighting him straight, but Abdul-Jabar's reach is too advantageous. What does he do? Puts him on the ground so he can't move around so quickly or far. And that ends up being how he wins the fight.
Lee's concept was to adapt his style to fit his opponent. It's why he created his own form - Jeet Kune Do (Way of the Intercepting Fist). He felt that all forms of martial art were useful, but had flaws as well. He took what was useful from each one and combined them in whatever way suited a particular situation. He caught flack from a lot of old-schoolers for doing it, too - most felt their particular discipline should be revered and used exclusively.
The pagoda scenes in "Game of Death" illustrate perfectly. Each level up, he fights someone of a different discipline using the same model. Spar a bit, evaluate their rhythym and technique, and then use a tactic that exploits all their weaknesses.
If the two men (Tyson and Lee) fought in their prime, I have no doubt Tyson wouldn't even know what hit him.
And reading back I suddenly and unexpectedly realize what a fangirl I am for Bruce Lee.
Tyson would be on the ground with a broken leg in about 5 seconds. A hard punch means nothing if it does not connect. Bruce Lee not only had lightning fast reflexes he had also had pinpoint accuracy. Watch Human Weapon from Nat Geo and you will see what I mean. There is a lady on there whose snake style strike is actually faster than the strike of a Rattle Snake. She also does it on a moving target and hits the eye perfect with enough force to dig into the skull. I think very few men could have ever taken Bruce Lee ad I know Tyson was not one of them. @ MuttSRT I understand what you are saying about Mike's primal instincts but he was also fighting against someone who was obeying rules and you assume much to think any rules would be obeyed in a fight between these two.
