If Bruce Lee were still alive, what impact would he have had......?

Bruce Lee was an amazing man. They used to say he was the most fit man in the world. He was in better shape physically than anybody at that time. I see questions asked on  here who would win in a fight. Bruce Lee or Jet Li or some other well know person. The answer is, "no contest". Bruce was so far beyond everybody else. He could beat any fighter just with his mind alone. He could out think any fighter and beat them to the punch. It's ashame some people die so young. \n.

It's hard to guess, but I'll take a shot:  9/11 would probably still have occurred.  Gore would most likely have gone into A'stan as a result of the attack.  Saddam would still be in power as I doubt Gore would have had the political will to confront Iraq.  Chances are that Bin Laden would still be alive (as I believe he is today).  The economy might be a little worse off, due to Gore's reluctance to engage in cutting taxes or spending on entitlement programs (even though Bush hasn't been much better in that regard) and appeasement of the enviromentalist and their religious adherence to the Kyoto Protocols.  Assuming he would have been reelected in 2004, Gore would have been able to shift the Supreme Court to the left with more pro-abortion, anti-2nd Amendment justices not to mention placing a more liberal chairman on the Federal Reserve board.  That's about all I can think of.  Frankly, beyong Iraq and the SCOTUS appointments, I don't see much difference.  Anyone who says otherwise is a partisan hack who hasn't been paying attention to how little difference there is between the two mainstream political parties these days.

I am assuming that you are talking about being hit by both fighters while they were in their prime. In this case, I would rather get hit by Bruce Lee. I have seen some pretty nasty knockouts by Mike Tyson whereas I don't think anybody has seen Bruce knock out anyone unless there is some underground footage of real fights I haven't seen. There's no comparison really. One is a professional boxer and the other was an actor, although it has been said that Bruce was definitely a street fighter outside of the big screen. On a funny note, I wouldn't want to get hit by Tyson because if he couldn't knock me out, I would probably lose an ear.

I remember a fighter they called Caveman Lee that fought in the 80's.  I believe he was a middleweight contender.

No , in fact they trained quite often together before Bruce died, and Joe often speaks quite favorably about Bruce due to their time together.\n\nIn fact Joe Lewis was voted twice (once in the U.S. and once in Europe) as the greatest fighter in the History of Karate And he did not die, the Joe Lewis I'm speaking about is a Veteran of the Vetnam war, and was already a reknowned kickboxer and Martial Artist before metting Bruce who apparently earned his Blackbelt in Shorin-Ryu in a mere 7 months while he was in Okinawa.\n\nHe has a book out (How to Master Bruce Lee's Fighting System, I believe it's through O'Hara publications, they have it for sale online at awma.com) that outlines the times they spent, he didn't speak out for as much as 30yrs until recently, mostly because he didn't want to cause more problems with the rumors that were already swirling around shortly after Bruce's passing.\n\nJoe also makes regular apperences at the NAPMA World Conference in Clearwater, Florida (where he now lives) and often has an article in NAPMA's monthly magazine. I've attended 2 or 3 of the seminars he's held at the Conferences.\n\nI think the falling out you're referring to is the problems that occurred during the filming of Way of the Dragon, Which has never been proven.\n\nthe story goes that Joe was originally asked to be the main badguy Bruce's character fight's in the end of the movie called Colt, but in the end Chuck Norris was asked to be the villain instead.

Actually....his fathers death probably was only a small factor. When asked before the match how he would do he replied something like "I don't know. We'll see what happens"  which is a real defeatist thing for him to say so his mind set had a definate effect on his game. However, he probably wouldnt have won anyways. To figure that one out you'll have to do some backtracking. If you do, you'll find out that there is a point where there is a dramatic turning point in his win ratio. It was at this point that he decided that he needed to change his swing, because to him he had run into a plateau and his skills weren't doing it for him anymore. If you look at the records you'll see that, and at that point there after, instead of being number 1, he was getting 5th place and below. So it was sad that his father died, but I don't think it was the main reason.  I think that it was more of it being due to him changing something that shouldn't have been changed.

well i know the first two but who is Bruse Lee? If you met Bruce Lee I would say Jet lee would be a good choice.

i'm old fashion. i like bruce lee because he was real. when i see jet li or any of the new guys perform, i feel like it's all special effects and not original. \n\nit's just my opinion.

Being the first to regain the belt! It was so much harder back then with all the politics and only one belt. He was good for the sport! Big loss, sadly no one remembers him!\n\nI will pour out a beer for him though!

Most people have already answered this question correctly by saying Bruce Lee. However I will go a bit further. I am a very fortunate person for having actually seen a copy of a fight Bruce lee was in and I can tell you it was truly amazing! With Bruce Lee's speed Kimura I am sorry to say doesn't stand a chance! As i watched the fight I noticed this guys head rock back a couple of times and his nose began to bleed. (I never saw Bruce hit him!) When watching the video frame by frame there was a blur that was barely picked up on two frames per head rocking. This was one of the most amazing displays of speed I have ever seen!

Well, I'm sure he would have still been born. Stone wasn't his father or anything. I think he would still have been a pretty good boxer, but as for ever getting a title shot, I'm not sure. A lot of what goes into getting those rankings and title shots has to do with politics.

Holy crap... never thought anyone would ever talk about Lennox Lewis... I, too am a fan of Lennox and think that in his prime, he would make the current crop of heavyweights look ridiculous (well, most of the heavyweights out there do a pretty good job of making themselves look ridiculous)... however, he was commentating a recent fight (Mayweather vs. Judah) and I thought age had caught up with him pretty quickly... I have no doubt he could win a belt or two, but I would rather he stay retired so I can remember him as the dominate champion of his time... as far as a rematch with Klitschko, that would mean he would have to give up his political dreams to come back to fight... although Lennox got as good as he gave during that fight, I was proud of him as most observers questioned his heart and chin during his career. He answered a lot of questions concerning both during that bout.

I was "around " when Jim was alive! I know it is no use to try to explain it was a different world we lived in then. Society was in flux the culture was changing! He was relevant in his time and a nice person off stage! Movies are not true! They only Fictionalized one facet of his life. I miss him and Janice Joplin & Jimmy Hendrix but their time was up! He did have an otherworldly quilaty to his voice that comes through.
