Actually scratch that last comment I made about Bruce Lee having lost fights. I was actually thinking about that movie they made about him, but I forgot the writers took a lot of liberties while writing that script. Still, you can't really say he was tested as a fighter.
Aside from before he became the physical freak he is known as, he had a few fights in his childhood, the only other fight I heard of was a cast member challenging Bruce Lee & getting destroyed then becoming his student.
But those fights in his child hood was a mix of wins & losses, its what he said first got him into martial arts.
I would say Bruce Lee. He was so fast that during his films they actually had to film him in slow motion because he was too fast for the human eye to catch.
o and Mike Tyson too. That guy in his prime was an animal.
BENNY " THE JET" URQUIDEZ.
He is the longest reigning UNDEFEATED fighter in professional sports history. 64 sanctioned WORLD TITLE DEFENSES!
His first world title was in '74, at THE WORLD SERIES OF MARTIAL ARTS, a kumite, that started with 400 combatants and after two days, the final fight was between "THE JET", who weighed in at 135 lbs. at that time and 260 lb. fighter, Dana Goodson. "THE JET" beat him up and pinned him to the mat.
After 20 years of fighting as world champion in various sanctioning bodies....PKA (professional karate association), WKA (world karate association) ISKA (international sport karate association) etc., he retired at the mirage hotel and casino in Las Vegas, after winning a split decision over the japanese champ, yoshihesa tagami.
karate hall of fame member
black belt hall of fame member
masters hall of fame member
kung fu hall of fame member
many other awards and standings.
multiple black-belt degrees in 11 disciplines!
nobody can come close to his world-class acheivements as a fighter.
