Found this interesting pic on 9GAG earlier depicting a supposed power balance in which a team of Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris would be evenly matched in skill against Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Kesuke Miyabi, Tony Jaa, and Neo (Keanu Reeves in the Matrix).

What do you think? Could Chuck and Bruce take on the rest?

Neo had superpowers, though, so that tilts it in his favor... Honestly, I don't see Chuck Norris being that big of an asset there for Bruce, other than someone to eat punches while Bruce takes care of business. That said, there's Jet Li and Tony Jaa, and Neo's superpowers? I dunno, man.

I think it's taking superpowers out of the question and going strictly with their level of skill in their respective category of martial arts. Though if you want to factor superpowers in, then I believe the sheer number of Chuck Norris jokes/stories would count in his favor.

Another thing to factor in, I assume this is with each fighter being in there prime? Because Norris is like 70 and Lee is dead, which kinda makes their side seem likely of losing.

Thank you. In all honestly, Bruce by himself would be enough. Chuck is there to like be the water boy for Bruce. I know all the Chuck Norris jokes but man come on, I don't think he is that much better of a fighter compared to like Tony Jaa or Jet Li.

But it also depends on the location of the fight. If it was a street fights, I think Jackie has the biggest advantage. Bruce might not be used to all that crazy stuff Jackie would do and Jackie would win it.

But like Jason said, we got to take out Super powers. Otherwise it wouldn't be fair. But if we do that, Neo would be so bad in real life. He would only be useful if they were all in the matrix fighting it out.

And Ludano is right. We have to take everyone in their prime because clearly it wouldn't be fair if Bruce was fighting as a ghost. They couldn't even hit him.

So to take all into consideration, Bruce is the greatest and he'll own them all. This is like a great a fantasy martial arts draft pick. If you had first pick, who would you go with? I'm taking my boy Bruce Lee.

I could see Neo and Mr. Miyagi dealing with Chuck while the other three fought Bruce. Honestly, Tony Jaa, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li? That's trouble for Bruce. I could see him taking any of them one-on-one, but all three at once would be tough. I think Bruce might be clever enough to set up a scenario where he could fight them one at a time, though. Ultimately, I think it'd probably go to the left, but Bruce would make a good show of it.

Well if we talk in term of sheer volume then of course Bruce and Chuck stands no chance. Even just any two would beat Bruce. These guys aren't chump. 1v1 would still be a tough matchup and it isn't like Bruce would clean house 1v1. He'll probably still get beat up. Well but if we talk about in term of real fighting. I'm sure they all are going for the jugular and it won't take many hits before these guys are out. It won't be a long drawn out process. It could be done in a couple of minutes.

Well if you ask me it all depends on whether you take the red pill or the blue pill.

I choose the green pill... synthesis.

Forget the pills. I'll take a Sensui beans.

I have to question why they picked Chuck Norris to be Bruce Lee's partner. I think he would bring Lee down a ton. A better partner would be Sammo Hung or Donnie Yen. Hell even Steven Seagal or Van Damme would be better.

Current matchup Lee would have to start by knocking Norris out. After that, I don't know. It would be tough, but if anybody could do it, Bruce Lee could.

Haha, I agree with you on that one. But I think Jet Li would be a good fit with bruce. IMO he and Bruce are the two best 1 v 1 figther there. Or he could team up with Jackie and basically do all the fighting and let Jackie go around do this street fight stuff to get the other people off guard.
