Who would Win in a Fighting Tournament between the Following Superstar Martial Artists?
Who would win in this tournament?
Bruce Lee (Mainly JKD, Wing Tchun and Tai Chi but also Karate, Boxing, Muay Thai,Jiu Jitsu, Phillipino Wrestling and Indian Wrestling. Almost certainly the most conditioned out of everyone)
Chuck Norris (JKD, Karate, BJJ. Pretty muscular)
Jackie Chan (Northern Kung Fu & Southern Kung Fu predominantly but also Boxing,Judo,Hapkido, Karate and Tae Kwon Do. Lots of plyometric strength.)
Dolph Lundgren (Boxing,Kickboxing and Kyokushin Karate. Hell of a lot of muscle on him)
Jean Claude Van Damme (Shotokan,Kyokushin and Tae Kwon Do I believe. Muscle and a lot of plyometric strength.)
Mr T (various martial arts,Boxing and Wrestling. Muscular.)
Muhammed Ali (The greatest boxer of all time. Long reach, durability and endurance)
Sylvester Stallone aka Rocky Balboa (A hero to all of us, truely one of the most physically conditioned boxers ever)
To make it a fair test:
2 rounds;
1 round of punching only via boxing rules
1 round of anything goes
M Tri
Chuck Norris has won multiple karate tournaments, has a brown belt in Machada BJJ
Bruce Lee (& Chuck) learned Jiu Jitsu with Wally Jay and Judo with Gene La Bell
Dolph Lundgren regularly demonstated Kyokushin and smashing blocks of ice
Van Damme and Chan show how much awesome plyometric strength they have from their high kicks-they’re pretty conditioned too!
Mr T and Sly went through intense boxing training.
IDK why people give the boxing round only to Ali-you do know there are other fighting arts that use punches don’t you?!!!
Imo it’s Chuck Norris ftw as he knows BJJ and is a karate champion
Bruce Lee is second place simply because Chuck out-muscles him and trained in a similar style to him
Mr T. is 3rd place simply because he’s enormous and a superb boxer and wrestler who was once a bouncer/doorman
Lundgren is in 4th place for Mr.T out-wrestles him
Van Damme is 5th as Lundgren knows a better karate style
Jackie Chan is 6th (sorry Jackie-as much as I like you!)
Jesus… I’m assuming you mean "in their prime".
You have a list 8 people.
7 are actors, and one is a multiple time world champion professional fighter.
you do the math.
Ali would easily ruin them all… except maybe Mr. t. he’s a big dude that can probably fight, plus he’s got some wrestling. He might be able to get a takedown on Ali and pull of an upset. The rest of them would be a joke.
FTR Bruce lee was more like 135lbs, NOT 150. Bruce did some boxing, but didn’t do very well. I think he did win small low-level amateur tournament once.
Bruce did NOT know Jiu-jitsu, and his wrestling’grappling skills were extremely limited.
Benny "the Jet" Urquidez…..oh from that list?…err…Mr T? lol
Bruce!

OK bruce lee was by far the most well rounded of the guys you named. Physically he was not a big guy! he was around 5 ’7 and 150 lbs. But he was very strong and explosive! He was doing MMA way before the UFC came along! He wrestled, boxed, and also knew jiu jitsu!! The guy loved sparring all out! I think he has a huge advantage over any of these guys!!
OH and remember when Gracie was beating everyone when he only knew Jiu Jitsu? He was not a big guy either but he would still beat skilled guys who where much taller, stronger, bigger, and sometimes even faster than he was!

If Mike Tyson would have been trained in a little Combat Sambo, and Muay Thai I would take him over everyone. but as the list stands.
The only two real fighters you have listed are Bruce Lee and Mohammed Ali. If Bruce can survive the boxing round I would expect him to win.
Although Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris have both been martial arts champions they lack the size to compete in the boxing round with Ali, and even though Bruce may be a bit smaller I believe Bruce Lee is a better martial artist than either of these men.
I dont like that you consider so many Actors on your list.
What about real fighters…. Some of the greatest MMA fighters in the world.
Fedor Emelianenko, Georges St-Pierre, Anderson Silva, and how can you leave Royce Gracie off of the list???
That all being said. Bruce Lee isnt big enough to survive a round of boxing with Mohammed Ali. Ali had the best size, the best skill as western boxing is the best style of hands only boxing on earth.
Edge Ali.

Bruce lee would definatly win, he has the best strength-weight ratio.
Have you seen his lat spread? he can do 50 one handed pull ups and 2 finger push ups and curl 70 with each arm (8 reps). chuck norris may have big muscles but i doubt his strength is at par with bruce’s.
Bruce lee may look skinny but hes definatly way ripped. also, bruce lee is FASTER than chuck norris, they had to slow down his hits in some of his movies cause some people would think its all fake. Your forgetting that bruce lee practically invented the protein shake, and started the trend "cut down" in bodybuilding.
