Doesn't it sort of defeat the purpose of the question, if they were trained in all aspects?

I'd have to say Muhammed Ali, although I agree your question needs to be poised a bit better. Not too mention what about weight classes?

mike tyson, with his size and speed, he could be a threat if he trained wresteleng etc/....

Yeah I pick tyson, I didn't read the point if they were trained in all aspects. Give tyson wrestling and gnp, it's over.

Bruce Lee. Not because he's the default answer to everyone's martial arts questions, but be cause he really was well-rounded, i feel if he trained for the SPORT of MMA, then he would do extrememly well, seeing as his stand-up was flawless and that he also studied jujutsu and sambo. It wouldn't be all fancy like the movies. Bruce said that if one were to see him fight, it would look ugly and destructive because that was what's effective. And with the work ethic of knowing his opponent, he would eventually emerge on top. His style, Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do would definitely allow for adaptation at the highest level.

You guys are forgetting that if you ask 100 knowledgable sports people who the top 3 greatest athletes of all time are , you'd probably get Ali in 95% of teir answers. I bet you'd get tyson in maybe 1 or 2. Now i'm talking about all athletes here, you guys don't think that with the right training Ali wouldn't be absolutley lethal. I think Tyson would be a Terry Martin clone, good strength, alot of power, no reach.

OMG i can't believe this have you all gone crazy...your comparing boxers and movie stars against the biggest martial artist of all time LEE was practicing mixed martial art when it wasnt even known he even invented his own martial art based on studying different martial art taking the best in each one of them and combining them together he was so far ahead of his time you can't even imagine ..and don't forget he was freaking 135pound . you should all be ashamed of calling yourself mma fans

Lee


His putative skill set aside


There is no argument that he knew something about martial arts. My pick was also based off of the fact that he dedicated his life to fitness and training. He was also very intelligent in the way he approached his philosophy and training. I think these points alone would make him stand out in that group.

Ali would've been my next choice.

ALI
(for the ali fans)

dont forget the props

Lee was the Godfather of Martial Arts he was one of the first to blend styles to be the best fighter alive he didn't stick to one thing he study all accpects. this is a no brainer for me

Chuck Norris would get tooled.

Bruce Lee i saw him escape an armbar in one of his movies

no way man tyson would do way better in mma then ali,and terry martin man thats an insult to tyson.One hit from mike will lay fools out with those 4 ounce gloves,he would just have to work on his wrestling game.

CHUCK NORRIS! All his fights would end with a first round, roundhouse kick KO.

Iron Mike would have to connect first. Plus you gotta remember he'd be a heavy weight at 5'10 means he's gonna look like Monson out there.

Mike Tyson Hands Down... his power is 20x of Chuck Liddell's.. and is body size,,, he would have unstoppable wrestling..

Craaaazy! Bruce Lee...Side-step dragon kick to the grill. And then a frankensteiner to a neck scissors, and then SNAP!

The his post victory dance would be both fists clinch at his side while he insanely shoutsa WA-CHAAAAAA! OOOOOOOOO!
