The article just shows the truth will never be known. But I won't lose any sleep over it either.

I didn't read it. What's the point? Bruce Lee was good, he wasn't infallable. But anyone who is in the limelight will have detractors, especially after they are dead and can't defend themselves. I don't put Bruce Lee on a pedestal any more than Ed Parker or Remey Presas. But all have earned a big place in martial arts history and a lot of respect. **** the detractors. (note: insert appropriate explative at asterix's)

Bruce changed things in many ways for us. Was he the greatest Martial Artist ever? Who knows??? people will debate this as long as his name is still be spoken.

I think it just goes to show Bruce was hot headed and didn't like to lose, like he said I won't quit till you die or I die.

Most People That Dislike Bruce Lee Are Enviouse Of His Stardom And His Talents,

And Secondly, I Read It All, Understood It All, And To B Honest I agree With granmasterchen , no one will ever know who was the better we only have stories and word by mouth to go on, no one can ever truly say, Bruce Lee Is Fake OR Bruce Lee Is Master.
How ever IMO
Bruce Lee wan an inspiration to all MA communities and Inspired alot of people to take up MA, and had a great talent and skill
