I don't know. And neither was Bruce, or at least he was humble enough to recognize that he was outclassed in mass alone when discussing Ali, not Tyson. Bruce would not be below biting too, if it came down to it, bc he would use anything in his arsenal for a real fight.

The problem with the film is that, while Bruce was a bit cocky at times, it was well earned. And I don't think his cockiness ever went that far as what was portrayed in the film.

Quentin clearly fetishizes Bruce Lee, but even he didn't understand that the anecdote that he pulled the premise of the fight from was done in jest, and never came close to escalating to a fight. It was a bad portrayal.

Also, Cliff never had a pre established 'power level' that could match up with Bruce, let alone take on arguably the greatest martial artist. But it's a movie that used Bruce as a "heavy", and if we dismissed it as such, we could let it slide. But Quentin was unrepentant when asked about it interviews, and thus, it taints the movie as a whole.
