Tell me when they can destroy 300 pound heavy punching bags, make them hit the ****ing ceiling with their kicks.
Bruce Lee was very strong for his size, but the strongest men in the world are three hundred pound huge men who can lift much more than Bruce Lee.
Being a strongman who doesn't know to how to fight doesn't mean anything against a trained martial artist. Especially when said strongman can barely run and has agility of a sloth. And wrestling bears and gorillas is a myth, those animals are trained not to harm people and the "wrestling" is just playing to them. A 200 pound ape would throw the strongest man around like a ragdoll. If Andre was a legit wrestler then he'd win but was he a legit wrestler? Bruce Lee was a legit martial artist but size difference is too big if Andre is competent and athletic enough.

This. In terms of pure strength, Bruce wouldn't even come close. Also keep in mind that all the World's Strongest Men competitors are on tons of steroids.
Anyways, maybe Bruce. Guys that size are usually too slow and clumsy to fight well.

Joe Greenstein, a Jewish circus strongman, was around the same weight as Bruce Lee, and was considerably stronger and tougher, being a ****ing freak of nature whose skull was so hard a bullet from a .38 handgun flattened on impact to his dome from point blank range, and could do shit like bend horseshoes straight by pushing the bars against his forehead.
