What's interesting in a very sad sort of way is that Bruce Lee has as many votes as he does...
Bruce Lee had all those votes? Are you shitting me? Bruce Lee's role on promoting martial arts is undeniable, but best fighter? Hughes is a good one (lucky sometimes), Rick Franklin not bad (but he thinks too much) and lacks the agressiveness to beat a guy like Anderson Silva. Rampage is good (but he is there for the adrenaline) Randy Couture is one of the best and my great respects go to him, he knows all about it, training, diet, conditioning and he knows what he can not do (he doesn't have nothing else to prove) Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock are pioneers but now that everybody knows the secret... Chuck is a funny guy, I like him he just loves to kick ass period. Dan Henderson and Wanderlei curitibano are very good, Saint Pierre will be great, Anderson Silva tough mofo nr 2 for sure but for now Fedor is the heartless killer best of all times undisputedly nr 1, Pride Ufc anytime anyplace.canadianhitman said:
Part of the ongoing controversy with this thread is rooted in the fact that nobody bothers to define the terms of the argument. What exactly is meant by the term "fighter"? Is a fighter a competitor in a certain sport? Is a fighter a guy that can kick your ass in a street fight? How are you guys defining "greatest"? Does promoting a sport contribute to "greeatness"? Is it irrelevant?
From my perspective Bruce Lee was not a fighter. He neither actively competed in full contact based events, nor did he have a rep for kicking people's asses in the street. He was an actor with lots of flashy and impractical techniques.
Bruce Lee however was great. He was and still is a great vehicle for attracting people to combat sports and transcended his role as a movie actor in that sense.
