Look, he trained a lot of martial arts, came up with his own philosophy and modified techniques, trained some famous people like Kareem Abdul Jabaar, and made some movies. Great.

What are some of his "feats" that have never been topped? I think you're confusing "fighter" with "martial arts practitioner." If you want to call Bruce Lee the greatest martial arts practitioner of all time, so be it. By all accounts, though, he did very little actual *fighting*, so let's be very precise about how we're using our terms here. Ali, Graziano, maybe there you're on the right track for best FIGHTER.

By your reasoning, Jackie Chan is also the greatest fighter of all time.

I partied with Chan in Vegas, that guy rocks! He's bigger than I thought too

Yeah watching some of Chan's older movies the guy wasn't built like a lot of chinese action stars. He was a lot bigger, arms were huge in comparison.

When nate was fightin franklin did you not see the distinct difference in reaction and initiation time between them. Mann franklin was much sharper, nate looked like he was sluggish. I hate when you see piss ass low leg kicks, that have to be pulled back caus they missed. I mean he is a good fighter, but it looked like lightweight v heavyweight in terms of speed and such.

You have to define what a martial artist is before you can say who fits what. Its easy to see what a good fighter is cause the ends shape the means. Who succedes is best. Who lives. What is a boxer, a fighter limited by rules.
