Would Would Win between Ip Man and Bruce?

[DavyKOTWF]

Course they'd never fight, but if they did, in a no holds barred, anything goes, street fight, who do you think would win in a fight between Ip Man and Bruce Lee, both in their prime, say Bruce at age 28 and Ip Man at whatever his prime was?
Bruce was 5'7" at 135 lbs and say Ip Man was 5'3" at 125 lbs.

 

[Steve]

We would win.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Depends on which movie they were making...

 

[Headhunter]

No idea never seen either of them fight for real

 

[geezer]

When I was about seven my friends and I would debate who would win in a fight...

Godzilla or Gorgo!

...well, technically we meant Gorgo's mom, Ogra of course.

 

[geezer]

....so who would win, Bruce Lee or Godzilla?

 

[Xue Sheng]

SHEESH!!!! Guys.... the answer is obvious...the winner would be.... in all cases

They both had a record of 0-0 so who knows.

I figured that was the underlying assumption, and the argument was who would last longer, no?

Not to my knowledge, but I could be mistaken.

It was such a long time ago there's no way to prove it apart from some rumours from his friends and students

Honestly I don't like these questions. Why's it all about who'd win a fight. Neither of them were fighters. I don't mean that in a negative way at all. Some people choose to fight some don't there's nothing wrong with not fighting. They were both very skilled and both preferred to teach and learn rather than fight people. I don't know why people think all martiaL artists need to fight. They were both great at what they did and should be respected for that there's no need to make them out to be action heroes

And he beat the boxer that killed sammo hung and fought Mike Tyson in an office and a Muay Thai fighter in an elevator

Since it is a very rare occasion to see any Martial Artist in a real fight, it is definitely a tough call. But, I would think in their prime, it would be more of a clash. Both were pretty dedicated.
