#7 Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris
In an interview seven years ago, Chuck Norris was asked his thoughts on Bruce Lee as a martial artist and as expected, he couldn't stop singing praises of Lee's speed, strength and genius when it came to martial arts. He was then asked who would win in a real contest between the two of them, and he replied with one of Bruce Lee's own quotes, "Showing off is the fool's idea of glory."
Profound and mysterious as it sounds, it still doesn't answer the question. The closest we've got to an answer is the showdown between the two of them in "The Way of the Dragon", which, come to think of it, isn't really an answer. And according to Chuck Norris, both of them were close friends so they wouldn't really have fought each other, even as a test of skills, would they?

Well, according to Grandmaster William Cheung, they did. Cheung was a pupil of Wing Chun legend Ip Man, whom he introduced Bruce Lee to and whose tutelage the latter would soon enter. Cheung and Bruce Lee were friends and training partners as teenagers. In a now deleted interview, Cheung said that Lee and Norris did have an actual fight when shooting for the film, and the Chinese legend made quick work of the American Karateka, reportedly putting him away in 15 SECONDS! Do you think Chuck Norris would last longer in the game?
