Lee v Ali?
At their peak.
Who would have been the man, come the finish?
A old chesnut.
But always a goodie.

Re: Lee v Ali?
I am tempted to go Lee.
True, Ali was the larger man, the heavier man, and size can count.
But Lee was remarkably quick, and had an incredible physique in his day, as well.
Ali packed a nice punch, but Lee knew how to punch, kick, and use various parts of his body.

It was known that Lee also had a bad back injury.

Re: Lee v Ali?
Of course, while Lee was trained, a lot of what you saw in his movies was absurdly modified, for effect.

Segal is tough.
But I would not fancy his chances.
Nor Van Damme.

This kid is a match for Chan. He is my wife's cousin. Bradley Allan (Not Allen) He now runs stunt schools and trains many of the top Hollywood action stars. I asked him the same question. His answer, Chan. Hands down!

Is that relevant? Most "famous" martial artists are of slight build. I'm pretty sure Chan is still about 5' and about 120# (being that he isn't dead.....). The martial arts are a defensive discipline, while boxers train to "take" hits and fight offensive. Bulk and mass is a liability when dodging blows.
IMO, Ali would have only have to land one punch on the chin of any of them (the martial artists). Game over. But, that's the key. If you can't land a punch, you're just suckin' wind.

Possibly not.
But it might be.
Otherwise, why else do they have weight divisions?
Just a thought..

Lee even with both hands tied behind his back.
Lea vs Chan... That would be interesting. I wouldn't dare to call that one. I think Chan's slapstick would throw Lee off.

A "weight division" is totally irrelevant to the topic. Matching weight divisions when the fight styles and training are so different is but only one variable. Besides, I've never seen anyone bring up a "weight division" question during a street fight (except by the loser, perhaps) or a casting call. If a fight was arranged for any of the above athletes, they would be outside their respective training and class, in any case. Weight divisions are important for competition bouts to offer some degree of competitive engagement. For example, De la Hoya wouldn't have a ghost of a chance against Ali, Tyson, or Foreman in a fair sanctioned fight. He would need a handicap (or he'll end up with one), and the fight wouldn't be very exciting, from a competitive view. Andy Kaufman vs. a Sumo wrestler could be a similar comparison (that would be comical, though).

The fight I got beat up worse in was with a fella a foot shorter and I had a good 100 pounds on him. Could never get my hands on him and he landed a punch with everyone I missed. Size kills you when you're up against speed and agility.

Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the J.F.K. assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. J.F.K.’s head exploded out of sheer amazement.
Chuck Norris sold his soul to the Devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the Devil in the face and took his soul back.

Chuck Norris recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull.
There is no Santa Claus. On Christmas Eve, Chuck Norris circumnavigates the globe in his pickup truck dispensing gifts to good children and roundhouse kicks to bad ones. The children, upon receiving these kicks, die.

Re: Lee v Ali?
Chuck Norris has to use a stunt double when he does crying scenes.
Before sliced bread, people used to say "Thats the greatest thing since Chuck Norris". But Chuck Norris was displeased by this. So he roundhouse kicked a loaf of bread into slices
Chuck Norris puts the laughter in manslaughter
Cars were invented to have a faster way of fleeing from Chuck Norris. Not to be outdone, Chuck Norris invented the car accident.
