You say true, but then repeat the same point. Did he intend to achieve anything in the "fight world" i.e. professional competition? Did he have the oppurtunity to? I don't know who would win but I think your perhaps being slightly hard on Lee. I think its reasonable to assume he would not have achieved the status he did without being a good fighter to some extent.
His status is mostly among white westerners who think anyone chinese / japanese looking is good at fighting, and who think fights actually look like they do in enter the dragon.
Fedor is proven to be the best, Bruce Lee doesn't even have a record. Vale Tudo was around and big in Brazil when Lee was around, completly no holds barred.
If he was so good, he could have easily proved himself so much better than everyone else then in Brazil, but never did. I wonder why....
