    I don't normally get involved in the "this person" beats "that person" or this style beats that style (you all feel my pain right?).

    But I did come across an interesting ranking of the greatest martial artists in all history (very apples to oranges but I digress). I found it amusing because, according to the public, the first few rankings on the list are actors. This makes sense to a certain degree but it also shows that while mixed martial arts has gained a lot of popularity over the past 20 years we are still a "niche" sport compared to most others.

    So Michael Jai White is so awesome that he makes the list twice, at spot #13 as well as #38? That in itself discredits the entire list.

    I do, however, agree that Bruce Lee is the greatest [of all time]. What one man did for the entire sport of martial arts (as a whole) as well as the movie industry can't be overlooked.

    Jesus...Michael Jai White is a better martial artist than Jigoro Kano?
    In what universe was this poll conducted?

    Clearly a fake one, because Chuck Norris is only in position #5. :rolleyes: Stupid pollsters.
