Who would Donnie Yen be then? Method Man?

Respected across the board, time served from having put that work in with the talent but lacking that one end to end classic to cement his reign in the game with a stamp that is totally his?


Dope thread concept tho.

Yep.

Method Man or Jadakiss.

Everybody recognize Yen as one the GOATS but he just misses that project that will cement/confirm his status.

Remember when i was a kid everybody loved bruce lee, and thought Chuck Norris was corny.

Now everybody loves Chuck Norris and every movie in recent memory tries to portray Bruce Lee as an arrogant a$$hole.
Naw Bruce Lee adoration is alive and well.



Them Chuck Norris memes came and went.

Bruce Lee was that dude no matter how legacy is perceived

He was the underdog on the screens back when that unified so many non white races as he bet on himself against the odds and made it. Thats why I think he's so hated by the establishment because look at how popular martial arts and self development became among ethnics and then contrast that to the corporate sponsored messages currently beamed to the children.

Makes you think...

He’s undefeated. That’s all you need to know, boy.
:mjgrin:

Jon Bones is the 2nd GOAT. Ali 3rd. Anderson Silva 4th.

Bruce Lee himself said Ali is the greatest. And Ali (and Mike) said pound for pound Sugar Ray Robinson is the greatest.

Sugar Ray is GOAT.

Similar careers too before and after. Bruce still have haters around to this day that swore that they beat him or they could have been him now :pachaha: . Speaking on chuck he would be Steven Siegal status if ti wasn't for Bruce putting him on.

Would that make Brandon Lee = Shyne?

Both were taken out of the game via gunplay before they got big and both had a huge aura of "What if?" around them as well as a buzz due to lineage and both were quite nihilistic as Brandon often drove around in a hearse and was quite morbid and Po's tracks speak for themselves.
Brandon Lee=Big L
