I made this public. How do we see who chose what?

 

[thenammagazine]

Not even close. Lee wins.

In a MMA Lee wins easily.

In a boxing match Ali easily.

Yeah because Lee was useless above the waist...

^^^ @ sarcasm.

Lee was awesome all around, but a great little guy never beats a great big man

 

[Solidus]

Anyone who votes for Ali goes on my ignore list.

 

[shocktrooper_au]

Lee would dance circles around Ali

Bruce Lee had the strength of a big man. You obviously are clueless about him and Martial Arts.

I love Bruce, but Ali had the size, the strength and the reach. The Champ wins this one.

 

[shocktrooper_au]

If they where both martial artists of equal ability I'd go Ali, but knowing a lot of martial artists size doesn't count for much nor numbers sometimes

He studied Wing Chun, which is one of the deadliest forms of close-quarter martial arts. Plus, Lee was quick enough to dodge circles around Ali.

I voted for Bruce, but it all depends on the situation. And it's hard to discard the size difference. Bruce usually weighed in at about 145lbs and Ali was around 230lbs. But boxing has huge limitations. But Bruce is also a pretty good boxer, but he describes all of boxings shortfalls in his commentaries.

Don't forget JKD, he hated all the formalities and fixed positions and refined his method to end fights quickly.

Keep in mind that this is an MMA fight, so Muhammad Ali is not necessarily going to rely solely on boxing techniques.

It was essentially a derivative of Wing Chun, except with less restraint, and pure focus on just taking down your enemy. Ali would have been creamed.

His other technique was talking smack, and racists comments
