Always loved Jim Kelly. For him to say Bruce Lee is the greatest martial artist of all time shows how humble Mr. Kelly is. Class Act.

[@kit266022]

Correct not like trolls online haters will always hate because of jealousy they are nobody but trolls and keyboard warriors low life loser.

[@joereidy5732]

@@kit266022 People also understand that Lee gave Kelly his big break in movies. So...take what Kelly says with a grain of salt friend.

[@iluvcliffrichard]

@@joereidy5732 And what did Bruce give Delgado, for Delgado to say lee was toughest guy he fought? And skipper Mullins to say he'd pick Bruce in any street situation? Jim Kelly knew Bruce was a bad man before ETD that's why he was looking to train under him. That's why it was Benny urquidez dream to spar with Bruce lee one-day when Benny urquidez was a kid. From where I'm sitting it looks as if Bruce was the beacon of light everybody looked up to.

[@joereidy5732]

@@iluvcliffrichard I'm sure there were plenty of kids who wanted to grow up and spar Bruce Lee...Benny the Jet, who unlike Lee, grew up to be a real fighter was no exception. As for your loose usage of the word "Fought"...you have to stop that. As I have told you time after time, back in the day they sparred no contact to the face and light contact to the body. Also, as I have said at least 4 times Delgado was a no contact tournament champ and respected Lee's ability to SPAR!! Now stop wasting both our times and post the sources that claim Lee had real fights as you have been erroneously claiming . Why is that so difficult to do? One more time: Two credible witnesses who watched Lee beat the same person on that same day. Give names, locations and other details. That is called PROOF...And you don't have any!

[@iluvcliffrichard]

@@joereidy5732 Your a cheeky man to say don't waste our time. Wasting your time doesn't seem like something that bothers you too much. You seem to do that routinely. You know Bruce beat yoichi nakachi in 11 seconds he was a judo black belt and karate expert witnessed by Jesse Glover and ed Hart. Why are you still acting anti.social? Bruce Lee beat Delgado in sparring and Delgado said Bruce was toughest most baffling he fought. And you don't know who Delgado sparred with in his time and day and martial artists he's met. Skipper.mullins was a street fighter and fought full contact with Joe Lewis. Joey Orbillo sparred Bruce lee and said he could do nothing Bruce was in and out, I don't think these pros intentionally try look bad against Bruce or not have much success. I'm sure they'd prefer lee to say how good they were and sing their praises Lots of proof of Bruce's fighting ability. If there were many anecdotes of people saying Bruce could do nothing to them you know full well that would be good enough for you to conclude Bruce was no good. So stop playing games, rise above it.
