@Devias: I never left. LOL.True, but there were periods of inactivity. It's distressing to see so many other great debaters inactive (Zoom, Silver, Buckshot, Morpheus) even if it's only for the time being. Maybe ComicVine should reboot the battle section.
Muhammad Ali Vs. Jackie Chan
@Static Shock said:Zoom and Buckshot still post here regularly. In fact, I have never seen Buckshot on the Ledger. I have been posting here again for the past few days just to see if the forum quality has improved, but thus far, I have not noticed much difference. So I will probably just be absent for a while again.@Devias: I never left. LOL.True, but there were periods of inactivity.

On-topic, Static has raised good points (as per usual). I would side with Ali.
Apparently, many people still need to be educated on real life martial arts vs. motion picture martial arts.
@Silver2467: Exactly. Comicdude tried to posted videos and links of Bruce Lee's feats, most of which being demonstrations of some of his moves (like the one-inch punch, which wouldn't be used in a real fight because it requires a lot of focus and it's a waste of time, and his punching and kicking power against punching bags). I ask him to provide evidence of Lee's fighting record, and I get something completely different against an inanimate object or someone that takes pride in being demonstrated on.LOL @ that. Lee had some good speed and striking power, sure, but that holds true for any professional fighter. And they actually acclimate their physical stats into real fights.
Muhammad Ali was a real life fighter... Jackie Chan is a great action star... but Ali has the Size, Reach and probably even Hand Speed over Jackie Chan...This a million times over. I can't believe people are actually comparing Jackie to Inoki.
To actually one-up Lee, there was a professional Muay Thai fighter (Mel Menor, Muay Thai World Champion, IIRC) who's knee kicks generated force that was equivalent to a 35-mph car crash. Unlike Lee, this is actually done in competition.
@Silver2467: Precisely. To actually one-up Lee, there was a professional Muay Thai fighter (Mel Menor, Muay Thai World Champion, IIRC) who's knee kicks generated force that was equivalent to a 35-mph car crash. Unlike Lee, this is actually done in competition.Nice. I have seen generic UFC fighters perform elbow strikes in inward hooks that have at least 100 lbs. of force on impact and other, much more impressive such striking feats than that.
Jackie has no professional record, he might win, he seems to have great training for the ring and a great style but he has no real fights to prove it. At least Bruce had his amateur boxing and Chuck has his mixed martial arts and Brad James, Fred Williams, Peter Mensa all have fight records. Jackie has never been in a ring as I know
lol this is an awesome battle.
I'd have to give it to Chan. Ali is used to a 1 dimensional fighting style where Jackie Chan is trained in kung-fu. Ali is used to fists only flying at him so when a crazy face kick comes from out of nowhere he won't know how to defend himself properly.
Unless Ali can catch Chan with a haymaker he has no hope.
