There has been more people devoted their whole lives into martial arts way past 40 years. There is no way mr. lee could accomplish better then all of those guys. Again they are calm older guys living their lives. They would not just call out people for no apperant reason.

Bruce Lee died at 32, Brandon Lee died at 28.

jet li is the the michael jordan when it comes to wushu/kung fu...i am serious

Jet Li participated in the sport of wushu. He began his martial arts career as a member of the Beijing Wu Shu team, an athletic group organized to perform martial arts during the All China Games. As a member of the team, he received martial arts training and went on to win 15 gold medals and one silver medal in Chinese wushu championships:

1974 – Youth National Athletic Competition: broadsword form gold medal, optional empty-hand form gold medal, all-round gold medal;
1975 – Third Chinese Wushu Championships: long fist form gold medal, spear form silver medal;
1977 – National Wushu Competition: long-fist form gold medal, broadsword form gold medal;
1978 – National Wushu Competition: long-fist form gold medal, optional empty-hand form gold medal, broadsword form gold medal, all-round gold medal;
1979 – Fourth Chinese Wushu Championships: long-fist form gold medal, optional empty-hand form gold medal, broadsword form gold medal, sparring form gold medal, all-round gold medal.
All his optional empty-hand form medals were won with a form called fanzi yingzhuaquan (翻子鷹爪拳, Fanzi eagle claw).

Do you think that Bruce could have defeated HMC like Fedor (the best martial artist on the planet at the moment) when he was being smothered by this giant on top of him?

Modern MMA has tought the world what works and what is all for show.

Thats a good question.. If Fedro and Bruce where to fight.. It could not a be ring fight with rules.. Because following rules would mean Fedor is toofar out of Bruces weight class. So IMO to make it fair it would have to be a no rules, street fight. A good portion of JKD has to do with "illegal" strikes.

too many pages to read so i may be repeating someone else. chuck norris was a full contact champion in asia. the only reason he was in that movie with bruce lee is because he was a champion and asians new who he was. bruce lee was a point fighter and an actor. period.

Chuck already stated in the past bruce was the best he ever saw, not to mention all the stars he ever trained such as kareem abdul jabbar and steve mcqueen.

if your putting lee on the same level as jabbar and mcqueen that answers the question right there. i think it was a comment made out of respect more than anything. guys like frank dux and anyone who competed in the kumite and any other tourny like that would kill lee.
