I don't know, I think Jet Li's the king of Martial Arts movies right now...I think he's the next Bruce Lee...It's like the comparison of Kobe To Jordan...

Kids.

Let me explain something to yall: Bruce Lee can't be measured, he's a man, and you can't break a man down into specific parts that can be measured.

Bruce Lee is the greatest of all time, but not because he was bad, or because he was fast.  He just WAS the greatest, it was someting he WAS, it's nothing that can be measured, when you know him, you just KNOW he's the best.  

Jet Li is great, I love him.  But he's nothing like Bruce Lee.  He's not greater than Bruce Lee, mainly because Bruce was first.  Bruce Lee did something at a time nobody else was doing it (in america).  He was big before there WAS a big.  He's the greatest.  So no matter how much faster Li becomes, or how much badder, he still will never be BETTER than Bruce.  

There's a TON of people like this, that it's IMPOSSIBLE for someone to be better than, because they just OWNED SHIT.  

Arnold Schwartzenegger - There will never be a better bodybuilder, even though everybody today is in better shape.  Hell, even Hulk Hogan had bigger arms than Arnold.  But he's not a better bodybuilder than Arnold.

Hulk Hogan - Greatest Wrestler.  Anybody can wrestle circles around him, but nobody was BIG like him, and never will be, because when he got big, he INVENTED big.  

Michael Jordan - Jordan's kind of an enigma.  He's so talented, he beated who shouldn't have been able to be beaten, after he retired, I didn't consider him the greatest.  But when he came out of retirement, and STILL destroyed everybody, he became the greatest of all time, just because nobody does Big like that.  Kobe may be great, and score more, or whatever on a million levels, but he's not Michael Jordan, he pales in comparison.

Muhammad Ali - no matter how bad a boxer is, he will never be greater than Ali.  Ali was the SHIT at a time when a lot of people were almost the shit.  When Ali was boxing, he had the entire world listening to him.  Nobody can do that anymore, Ali OWNED shit.




NOw, with all that said, there is, in 1 field, the rare occasion of a three way tie.  In music, the greatest ever, were Michael Jackson, the Beatles, and Elvis Pressley.  Nobody else can fuck with them.  They were big like no other.  Michael had the biggest selling album of all time, 53 million copies of 1 cd, that's impossible in today's times.  The Beatles had like 30 fucking #1 hits in 7 years, then BROKE THE FUCK UP PERMANENTLY.  Nobody is boss like that.  Elvis Pressley was so fucking big he shot t.v.s instead of changing the channel.  Nobody gets large like that, he wasn't even human anymore he was so big.

More real shit:

When Michael Jackson has a concert, an average of 200 people pass the fuck out.  Why? Because he's the shit.  Even grown men pass out.  That's some bitch shit, but it's true.  How big is a musician if he makes people pass out when he performs?  Nobody can fuck with that.

Elvis was so fucking real, people that never even MET him cried when he died.  People dress up and impersonate him for FUN.  It's like he's a fucking alien or something, he couldn't even play the damn guitar very good, and people treat him like god.  That's BIG, nobody will ever be greater than that.

The Beatles invented hippies.  How the fuck do you get so big, as a band, that you change the damn political and social climate of the world?  Hell, they weren't even FROM america, and changed the whole country just through a radio.  what the fuck? nobody will ever be greater than them.

too bad nobody gives a shit bout "jeet kune do"...if u didn't notice by now, it ain't even popular at all compared to other MA's like TKD, Kung Fu, etc...its just bunch of different MA's then he combined all that shit...ain't nothin special...people only know bout it cuz of bruce...thats bout it...

and Scorpion, by saying that bruce was greatest of all time, u mean he was the best fighter? or a actor? cuz as a fighter, too many people overrated the shit outta him...sure he is good, but theres tons of more MA's around the world that is better then him...

Bruce was made fun of for his ability to only do 3 kicks, he had 2 years of MA instruction(in AMERICA) I believe. He wasn't exactly in a school of MA for 10+ years and and practiced every day for 30 years with highly trained professionals like Jet or Jackie.. even though those 2 consider themselves actors, not MAs

Seeing as Jet Li won the Chinese National Championships in Karate i think he does consider himself something of a martial artist. And remember when looking at Bruce Lee films the technology wasn't as good back then, due to this he had to fight a lot slower than he could otherwise the camera couldn't pick out the moves he was doing, he was too quick.

Please tell me you are basing this whole Bruce Lee is the greatest thing on actual fights and not movies like Enter the Dragon.

As for the beatles I didnt really understand why you put They Wern't Even From America, that made me chuckle, you americans think that your gods gift.  And as for the beatles I think they are cool especailly for a band that used to practice in their garage.  Amazing.

As for Ali, every fight I have watched of Ali's has been so crap, how people can say he is the best boxer ever amazes me cos the fights I have watched of his he just looks tired when he fights.  I dunno must just be me but in all the fights I have seen of Ali's he has bored me cause he doesn't do anything. lol

Yup, basically he took the whole Kung Fu shit to U.S.A and he got it recognised over there.  Doesn't mean he was ever the best at it, cos he made a few movies like.
