Chuck Norris.

He will roundhouse kick your face for even asking this.

Bruce Lee greatly over-rated, naive adolecent runts want believe silly hoaxes of him. Jackis Chan know he not greatest, have jokes of himself and Bruce Lee at some movies.

Are many candidates. At ancient Greece, Milo of Crotona and Polydamas are fighting champions at Olympics. Polydamas is 6'-8" tall, weigh 330 lbs. historians say. Tales say Milo carry bull at arena, use one blow of fist kill it, Polydamas strangle lion.

Miyamoto Musashi is "sword saint" of Japan, is invincible.

At 20th Century Wang Hsu-Chin (1905-1981) and Oyama Masutatsu (1923-1994, born Korea, real name Choi Young-Eui) are formidable men, easily beat Bruce Lee if he dare face them. Some Karate masters break hands when strike Wang Sifu's tough "Iron Shirt' body. Oyama Sensei use bare hands kill many bulls. Both men beaat many skillful fighters. Bruce Lee avoid public fights and sparring.

No one. A martial artist will always have their pros and cons. His or her attributes keeps them grounded. One cannot excel at everything. Their faults defines them as human. He or she will always have more to learn. Bruce Lee, for instance, was only mortal. Although he is known for his signature one inch punch, there has been no confirmed account of him fighting accept Wong Jack Man. Bruce Lee is a martial artist for sure, but no fighter.
