- Whoever wrote that got a fine point written out. It is said that Bruce Lee
- coudl deliver a 300 lb or 300 psi punch, while only weighing in at about
- 140 lbs or so. Joe Frazier (sp?) on the other hand could deliver a 400 lb/psi
- punch but he weighed in at around 250. So, yes, Joe Frazier hit harder than
- Bruce Lee, but proportionally, Bruce Lee hit harder than Joe Frazier could,
- per body-weight pound. According to Clouse's book, _The Making of Enter the
- Dragon_, Lee himself thought that he would get his butt kicked if he got in
- the ring with Muhommed (sp?) Ali. Personally, I think he might have a better
- chance on the street ...

- Whatever.
