I was a bit hesitant to make this but it was fun. I always make my threads on a whim. I was just thinking about this yesterday.
I got the Boxer vs MMA idea stuck in my head once again and thought to myself "I wish this movie had been made when they were in their prime." They're about the same age. Anyway then I wondered about Bruce Lee and SRR.
If the fight took place in a ring Robinson at 175lbs, Bruce Lee at his natural weight. Boxing rules are the guidelines, however because Bruce Lee was not an American boxer the rules a slightly different. No rabbit punching, both can strike with whatever part of their body but only in the front, no tripping or eye gouging. SRR with his standard mits.
Harry Wiley(just looked that up) in Robinson's corner and various MMA fighters and experts to spar and prep with, Teddy Atlas is in Bruce's corner. Both with 6months to train. 10oz boxing gloves for Robinson, bare hand wraps for Bruce.
I doubt I'll get any response, but this one was fun to think about.
RULE EDIT: Standard boxing guidlines ie No 3 KD rule, No standing 8 count, No headbutting, no striking with elbows, no holding and hitting, no eye gouging etc. As for the striking they can strike with their fists, knees and feet, but it's boxing style so no back handing.
