You may have been able to defeat him. I mean, if he had lived, he would be sixty-six years old. If he had the last thirty-three years to progress, then I am convinced that he would have gone a lot farther. I think it is a leap to say that he was "just an actor" and so forth. He clearly WAS NOT simply some stunt guy actor or stage-fighting MA like Jackie Chan. Jet Le has more fighting skills than Jackie Chan for sure, and Bruce Lee was worlds ahead of Jet Le.
By the way, no Chinese Kung-Fu masters or whatever had a hand in Bruce Lee's death. Bruce Lee's death was officially attributed to Cerebral Edema. Dr. R. R. Lycette of Queen Elizabeth Hospital determined that the swelling in the brain, and Lee's untimely death, was the result of an adverse reaction to one of the compounds in the prescription Equagesic tablet. The autopsy also revealed traces of cannabis in his body although doctors were certain it did not contribute to his death. Bruce Lee's brain swelled up from 1400 grams to over 1500 grams.
There are a ton of quotes from people that have really had very real fights with Bruce Lee that would laugh at what you said in your post. If you like, then I will post them. It will be like an avalanche fell on you, but I will do it. Believe me when I say that I have quite a few.
And, Bruce Lee rarely EVER had anyone choreograph his fights but himself. No directors sat by saying, "Okay -- grapple!" Bruce Lee set up his own fights and he decided what he would use to win. And, like in Enter the Dragon, some of the fights were real.
