Here's Wilfred Dietrich defeating Chris Taylor - sometimes size doesn't determine outcome. As far as Norris VS. Lee, it never happened. Lee didn't compete, and was Norris' trainer and sparing partner when Norris was active. Foreman and Lee? You've got to get me a reference for that, cause I can't find one. And as far as Yeung is concerned, he said, "There will never be another Bruce Lee..."
I’m sure everyone would agree, there will never be another Bruce Lee.
And yes, in wrestling or submission size matters little. Look at the Gracie family. Back when MMA had no weight limits, they were regularly trouncing Shamrock and Tank Abbot.
Lee was not a submission fighter by today’s standards. The arm-bars in his movies were weak, not done properly.
I mean, the lock is good, but setting up the lock is all wrong, and highly doubtful and suspect.
And as far as wrestling, like I said, my kid is at 220, he has been trained with Eric Wetzel at the Olympic camp in Colorado, and done many Dan Gables camps over the years. When he was at 160 in Jr. High, he could beat many big guys (what we call floppers) as in your picture, but few with a lean body fat of say 5% who was 40 pounds heavier than him, unless they had little to no experience / focused training / etc.
I mean, hey though, maybe Bruce Lee was all that (even though I still love him to death). I never seen him fight in real life, so I guess I can’t fully judge him.
