That's it.As long as you can say that, then we are in agreement.
Lee is faster and probably has significantly more upper body strength. Ali can take punches like a champ (lol) and has a long reach, but Lee has a longer reach with his kicks. Dodging...that could go either way, but I'd lean towards Lee's Jeet kun Do style as being far more suitable for avoiding strikes in a street fight.
In the end, it all comes down to being highly debatable.
That was more in regards to the Ali vs today's heavy weight, but fair enough.
Again, not so sure Lee is faster and I seriously doubt he's stronger, being ripped doesn't mean you're super-strong; you know this.

Robtard, I'm disappointed in you. Of all posters, you're the only one I can count on to remember something that most would forget.
🙁
Lee definitely has more upper-body strength than Ali.

Actually, I agree with you in that Bruce Lee wins.

I think I was arguing for Lee before, I changed my mind. Ali.
I am genuinely curious as to the results of a new poll. Many a member has changed his or her outlook on this most important of issues.

Instead of trolling, why don't you read the thread, learn what I was referring to, and actually contribute to something on topic.
To be fair, I thought I understood you; I most certainly read your post. If I was mistaken, I apologize.
Robtard nailed plenty of key points, so my own views felt fairly redundant.

What, specifically, gives you this impression?

I'm well aware of Lee's feats, one-finger push-ups and whatnot, all very impressive and both demonstrate great strength and conditioning, but that doesn't necessarily transfer over into punching power, which is what matters here.
In the end, Lee's still a lightweight while Ali is heavy and Ali has a punch that has downed many a much larger man than Lee.

Oh, so not only do I not have posts like that, you're your discussing PMsm you know the place you've been harassing me on when I asked you to stop, without the permission of the other person?
Again, please quote one of my posts where I state that.
Also, stay on topic and don't PM me anymore with your very annoying arguments.

My arguments are annoying to you because they are right.
On topic:
Bruce Lee wins. Bruce Lee stated in an interview that he thinks he'd destroy Ali in a street fight but would lose in a boxing match.

This particular pointwas covered in the thread, already. Lee definitely has more upper body strength than Ali. It's not even close, actually.
Is there one in particular you meant? It's possible I overlooked something. I'm human.
Mostly.

Proclamations from one particular fighter should not be used to predict a fight's outcome; even if we agree with the fighter, the flaws of such tactics should be obvious.

Bruce Lee was really interested in Ali's fighting and apparently spent hours studying his fighting footage. He'd know quite a bit about Ali, and Bruce Lee doesn't seem to be a particularly arrogant or biased person.
