The greatest fighter of all time!

[Djimbe]

when some human can move their hands or feet at the rate of a Bow or a Gun then you can bring Ballistics into this .

Oh , and Speed is NOT Power , POWER is defined as the rate of work done upon an Object . a guy thats under 150 is only going to QUICKLY have little-to-no Effect in a fight against a 300+ lber at the same Fitness level .

You read ONE FLIPPANT LINE in my post and totally ignored the rest of it . You think your grasp of Physics is bettter than mine ? PLEASE lay out the workings of the Univrse for us then . And Ill be happy to break DOWN why Bruce Lee was (wisely) afraid to fight when he was alive .

You know what, I'm not going to get technical with you over this. You said that speed wasn't power, and I responded, nothing more!

My goal isn't to argue over Bruce Lee, I made a comment and stick to it, and like I said you made yours!

I can sit here and tell stories about those little old masters who I have seen do things with unbelievable speed, but I don't want this to get into an argue session!

May I ask what your backround is in the Martial Arts?

Mine-- Starting boxing in 1968, moved on to Tae Kwon Do in 1971, Later in the 70's Judo, Ju-Jitsu and Hapkido. Followed TKD to 4thdan and currently teach as a private instructor!

sakurai is who ur referring to and thats a definate no wanderlei knocked him out

i think vitor belfort should be on this list he is and awsome stricker with rediculously fast and had very good power.
but im gonna say fedor or crop cop and tyson would be very dangerous cause of therey speed with one hit knock out power.

 

[Djimbe]

Sakuraba ? So what ? he still destroyed the myth of BJJ Dominance single handedly by using PRO WRESTLING MOVES ! That means he Rates in my book !

Silva??

Well......the Gracie fights were 10-12 years ago, correct??

Wander got his ass handed to him by Ortiz

So..you cant judge a fighter by ONE loss imo

Speed may not be power, but if you can strike the other guys throat before he can hit you, then its a walk in the park after that. done it, and seen it many times.
I also poked an eye too before the guy was on me, and that had him sore and surprised. You cant train for that surprise. drugs may stop the pain though, but you cant discount speed if its aimed at the throat. If you dont believe it, get someone to 'tap' your throat with a knife edge chop, just lightly. you move away pretty fast. with speed you do hit em hard and following up with other hits, they are screwed.

I never voted, too many variables. Dirty tricks are forever!

 

[Djimbe]

Sometimes , sure , but such things arent Reliable . Reach comes into play there , as does Constitution , build, Reflexes , and Pain Tolerance . Even a Partial Block can be a lifesaver

And you CAN train for thst Twitch-like Surprise . look into Systema/WC
