Muhammad Ali vs Bruce Lee?

You shouldn´t listen to what all those people talk about Bruce Lee, but just what those guys who knew him best (so family, friends, training partners, actors etc.) tell about him: They unanimously agree that this man was a great person and an outstanding martial artist. Many of them say he´s the best they ever met. All those people claiming he was and is overrated know a **** about Lee, in fact we all could train our whole lifetimes and would never reach the level of skill this young man did.

He achieved a lot and is widely considered the most influental martial arts person of all time for a reason. His speed is still hardly matched, and if somebody actually does he doesn´t have Lees other attributes. No doubt in my mind that Bruce Lee is one of the very best fighters in the history of mankind.

Back then at Bruce Lee´s time there also were people who talked disrespectful about Bruce Lee and said he couldn´t do what people or he himself claimed he was able to. The difference was Bruce Lee came and proved them wrong. He just demonstrated some stuff to them and they totally changed their opinion from that point.

Not sure why so many still doubt and critizise him, it´s definitely easier to do that about a man who passed away 40 years ago than to do it to somebody alive. It may be envy or just ignorance. Ignore them, you´re one of us who know it better ;).

Excuse my english, I´m german! Edit: :D There you see it. Somebody already gave me "thumb down" just seconds after I posted it, this person most likely didn´t even read my answer completely.

Whatever, he/she´s a perfect example: Ignorance is human.

Mr. Lee's ego took over near the end of his life and sought to become a "movie star" instead of being a martial artist. When one degrades his or her art in such a manner they often lose credibility.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
