And not a single one of them was anywhere close to being the fighter Tyson was.

I've done some research on his life. Lee was VERY strong.

The only way Tyson could beat him is if they were forced to stand close together in a confined space or if they couldn't kick.
But since you say no holds barred I'm assuming a boxing ring and cement boots are not part of it.
Lee

Tyson's a brute, and gets frustrated quite easily when the brain doesn't fire fast. Lee would be 10 moves ahead of Tyson at all times, setting him up for frustration, and much much much faster. No contest... Lee

This isnt even a good toss up argument.
A toss up would be like saying tyson vs joe frazier
bruce lee was a good grappler as well as a stand up fighter. he'd knock tyson out with a good head shot. this wouldnt even be a long or even a fair fight.

Tyson could absorb a few shots from someone half his size and then slam him on the ground. Then Lee would die from the punches to his sleepy looking face. Martial arts are great to watch but if a guy can take you down you have no weapons left.

First people underestimated Tyson. Now, it's underestimating Lee.
I like the ring/phone booth analogy. It really does depend on setting and situation on this one.

I love Bruce Lee, but he was not a competitor.
Of course he was - part of the Hong Kong film culture required him to fight anyone who would challenge him. He fought, for real, many days of film shoots prior to Enter the Dragon.
quote:
Tyson was a professional, heavy boxer.
And, as a teenager, a collections agent for gangsters. The OP did not describe a boxing match, which Tyson would almost certainly win. What is being asked is a MMA-style, no holds barred competition.
Tyson never showed any ability in mixed disciplines, although his head-butting and sharp elbows would not be fouls in an MMA style match. He would have a slight advantage on the ground due to mass and strength.
However, Bruce Lee was much faster - as fast as the fastest lightweight boxers - and certainly hit much harder than his size would imply.
That combination is likely the difference here - Lee much, much faster and more agile - would have a range advantage with his feet, and hit hard enough to cause damage. The longer the fight would go, the better a chance he would have, although Tyson's cross and uppercut had 1-punch knockout potential against even 250 pound professional fighters, it is unlikely a "no rules" street fight would set those punches up perfectly. There would just not be a situation where Lee would be stationary and in-range of such a punch.
Tyson would have to grapple to win, IMHO.

No holds barred = No rules
Real life isn't the movies. And a "no rules" fight, at some point, discipline goes out the window. A 21 yr old Tyson begins sticking that straight jab in Lee's face. Tyson begins to measure Lee, as performs his kicks & twirls.. Tyson takes a few shots. Lee lands a few. Eventually,Tyson gets that one punch in. Whether by grabbing Lee, an uppercut, or an outside hook... One of 'em will get thru (probably as a result of Lee's kicking).
Lee is waking up some time later asking what happened.
Also, remember... Tyson grew up street fighting w/no rules, his level of "nastiness" would be an advantage.

Lee would have 1 shot to get Tyson in the jugular before Tyson grabbed his arse and beat the shite out of him. Tyson isnt just going to box the dude.

You mean his biography contained an exaggerated story? No way.
Were these three boxers trained fighters?

Are they fighting in the open? In a cage? In a ring?

I'm a huge Tyson fan, but an even bigger Bruce lee fan. Lol, at anybody that thinks Tyson would stand a chance. Tyson wouldn't be able to touch him. Lee would dance around, let Tyson burn himself out, and then plant a foot upside the head.
And for all the "Tyson only needs to hit him once" people... How many times do you think Bruce's foot needs to connect with mike's skull? This ain't Van Damme, people. Bruce Lee invented MMA

It wouldn't last long enough for Tyson to get that one punch in. No gloves or rules? Lee takes his knees out, pops him about 10 times in his melon before Tyson even knew what just hit him.
And furthermore, Tyson is strong and can hit very hard, but guess what? So can Lee. Size does not equate to strength, as in bigger means stronger. It doesn't work that way. Tyson surely has more weight behind him in punching, but Lee is master of the 1 inch punch, and the fastest man I've ever seen in my life.
