You either like Bruce Lee or dis-like him, it doesn't really matter,it doesn't change who he was or what he did.

His influence in the West was phenomenal, Like him or not the fact is he single handedly changed our view on traditional Martial arts, training and reality based fighting. In addition he set the standards for action based movies.

Many great athletes have given him accolades; Sugar Ray Leonard, Joe Lewis, Chuck Norris, Kareem Abdul Jabbar et al.

Some people don't like Muhammad Ali but it doesn't dent his great achievements.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and as long as it is intellectual and respectful, I will always respect that even if I disagree.

By the way the video of Bruce Lee on the kick bag at home was him doing action shots to see how they would look on film (movies) not of him training for fighting, he had a very different, eclectic and 'ahead of his time' approach to that.

Could he compete? no idea, he did win some high school boxing and was a novice champion and had roof top fights in Hong Kong but did not have a record of any 'tournament' fighting.

Could he fight? I would imagine with his speed and also his power for such a small guy he would be a handful for most people in the street.

Fighting in the street and competing to rules with a referee are Worlds apart, so what really makes a good fighter?

It's all conjecture, a theoretical and academic hypothesis based upon an individuals opinion and personal perception
