Thats always the question with any sport, you can't really compare era's
How good a cricketer would the Don be today? How could a boxer would Jack Johnson have been?
I honestly think a lot of Bruce Lee's legacy is myth, I am sure he was a skilled fighter, but I dont think its possible to be invincible - anyone can get hit right on the jaw and get knocked out, anyone can get beat on a given day.
And the style of the fight has to determine a lot, even if Bruce Lee trained as a boxer, if you put him in the ring with a peak Tyson he would have been destroyed, because he didnt have the size and strength and boxing is a fighting form that wouldnt allow him to make best use of the skills he would have over Tyson.
