I think I would side with Bruce on that one. What however would be infinitely more interesting to me would have been to see a friendly match between Bruce Lee and Gene Lebell. They were both fighters from the same era who both had real world fighting experience, and in fact were great friends and trained together often. As much as I love Bruce Lee, I still think Gene would have wiped the mat with him. Anyone who's interested can go to Gene's site and read what he has to say about Bruce.
