Posted by Bob on 1/25/2006, 11:38 am, in reply to "Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris" Chuck Norris, while 7 times World Karate Champion, was restricted by his art and the rules of Karate. Even at his peak he was not as physically fit or strong as Bruce Lee, nor as fluid in his style. I can't see how he could gain an advantage or find a window of opportunity in Bruce lee's 'intercepting fist'. I would reckon the odds in a straight head-to-head fight to the death between these two would be heavily weighted in favour of Bruce (7/6 or worse). You'd have a hard time finding odds of less than 400/3 on Chuck. Basically this would reflect the cold, hard fact that Chuck would be dead in rather short order. If only we could see it, huh?

How is this even a debate? Bruce Lee was stronger, faster and fitter than any man alive when he fighting and teaching. He recovered from a broken back and invented a new formless form of martial art, taking each man's individual strength's and weaknesses, building his fighting style around that (such as Basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who's fighting style was based on his magnificent height [7'2"] and remarkable leg strength).
