Please do not Compare The Great BRUCE LEE with the village idiot Manny Pacquiao, it is an insult to the Legend of Bruce Lee and his Fans!

Bruce Lee should not be compared with Manny Pacquiao! Bruce Lee is an intelligent man! A great man. He is a Philosopher, a great Martial Artist! Manny Pacquiao is an IDIOT and a MORON! Yes, Manny Pacquiao is a champ right now, but it will end soon! He’s got his head up in his ***! He will not have any legacy because he lets those corrupt Filipino politicians control him like a puppet.
Bruce Lee would kick his *** back to Gen. Santos, Philippines if the Great Bruce Lee were alive. I’m Filipino, and I’m ashamed of Manny Pacquiao especially with what he’s doing! A brainless dude who wants to be in politics. He should just concentrate in boxing. He can’t even act and sing, now he’s recording and making crappy movies! Somebody should kick his ***!

WOW, Both of them (Bruce Lee and Manny Pacquiao) is a Legendary fighter and a famous actor as well. I could hardly make a comment of who is better than the other.

Not sure what the video clips are supposed to prove but clearly Manny is more in boxing form and Bruce is more in an exercise routine.

Manny throws some impressive punches and both Bruce and Manny (Bruce you can see in many clips, not so much in the above clip) show a strong use of force from back leg and hips in their punches.

Also, though not typically resulting in being a good boxer in the ring, being a good ballerina requires skill also.

Why not give both Manny and Bruce credit for their obvious skills. You could easily say that Manny sucks bigtime in his pathetic kicking ability. Nowhere near as good as Bruce … but that would be a dis-service to Manny as he is a pro boxer. Bruce was reaching out through film as a martial artist. Both are/were very talented and I would expect each would highly regard the other as very talented and skilled people.

“I would challenge anyone to find an actor to who could reproduce what he did on screen.”

How about a ballerina?

mmm, i can see how the comparisons might be similar, both are quick, strong,focused….But i think lee is more quicker both are and were superior in their fields but i think lee’s determination to succeed and perseverence wins hands down..no doubt manny is on top and after 3defeats managed to better himself and then be the best pound for pound fighter ever.. Lee, thru shire discipline and with the amazing ability to dazzle as well as amaze is just plain simply the man.manny maybe like bruce lee but there is only one lee and to me no comparison

Shooting film or video can involve special effects and trickery in constructing scenes no doubt, but you can clearly see the dynamic ability and physical talent Bruce Lee had and know without a doubt that he was an extremely able and gifted fighter.

To think that he was fake is blatantly ridiculous to anyone who trains as a fighter. It’s obvious he trained and developed his skills to the extreme.

I would challenge anyone to find an actor to who could reproduce what he did on screen. I do not think it could be done without that person being a very good fighter and extremely physically fit for real.
