exactly actionpromo's thats what I've been saying...not once did I say bruce lee was the best fighter...all I've said was he worked with well known established fighters that back in the day were considered top of their tree...what did they have to gain by playing submissive to bruce lee? I also said he promoted cross training/mma way before it was accepted..back then it was considered an insult or was thought to show lack of respect to the initial martial art that someone had trained in to cross tran another martial art

nephilim i'm not getting defensive pal, i'm putting things into perspective, top fighters...real fighters not you or i regard him as legit and and a legend, you are entitled to your opinion as am I but putting into perspective if the top fighters which you clearly are not(neither am I )felt that bruce lee had something to teach and was worth listening to and was a stand out for his day and age then who are you or I to argue? I'd put more weight into anything bernard hopkins or manny pacquaio said about real fighters than you or I..and I only mention 2 current hall of fame lagends in boxing as with your superior complex about muay thai you'd no doubt try to dismiss other masters of martial arts opinion or worth i.e karate, kickboxing etc

as for footage released after his death, bruce lee was a perfectionist, he probably wouldnt have released footage that wasn't perfect..for all you know he was letting off steam throwing wing chun punches with central line technique, the man was highly skilled and a great thinker

slightly off tangent but i think tupac's legacy was diluted by some of the weak tracks that he personally threw in the bin yet were picked out and sold to make money as new material after his death
