Do you think that Bruce Lee is the best athlete?

Question

In his time? or in the succeeding decades?

Answer 1

Without a doubt Bruce Lee was one of the most powerful & skilled Martial artists of our time. His feats of strength and tremendous speed were Earth-shattering......remarkable to say the least!! Pound for Pound .....nobody could come close to him at his peak in 1973!!
34 years after his death he is still the idol of almost all Chinese people and the World!!! To the joker who mentioned chuck norris:Your on crack....what a joke?
In his own immortal words: "You must Feel"

Answer 2

I have a feeling that the best athlete of all time was Jim Thorpe. However, what Bruce was able to do with his body and ultimately his ability puts him in the top 2 known athletes. He did one-finger push-ups with weights on his back. He actually peaked at his training, he was once quoted as saying that after he got to a certain point with push-ups, he stopped because it served no further purpose. It was no longer challenging.
While walking along a beach with a student of his, they noticed a gentlemen walking in their direction. He was over 6ft. and was extremely muscular. The students said "Man, he's big and strong." Bruce Lee replied, "Yeah, but his he powerful?"
