I think the thing that really impressed me about Bruce with his work ethic and absolute determination to achieve his goals no matter what. He was into NLP type techniques and goal setting psychologies way before they became "it words". Remember, he was not gifted as a athlete, with one leg shorter than the other and bad back, poor eye site, small stature/bones, but he overcame all of these "challenges" and prevailed as one of the premier physical specimens of the 20th century, never mind his mental capabilities too.
For Bruce's weight class, he would wipe the floor in a NHB type tournament today, and IMO with no special training needed, just the way he was back in 1970 or somewhere there, when he was in his prime. He could just look at it, understand the rules and adapt quite well I believe.
