Mayweather's March 26 opponent has said that for Mayweather to train against a martial arts opponent as good as he is he would have to resurrect Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was a great Wing Chun kung fu figher of course, yet if restricted to nothing beyond legal boxing rules could he have survived seven rounds with Mayweather, Marvin Haglar, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns or Sugar Ray Leonard? I am skeptical about that.
WIng Chun kung fu controls the center line and moves forward to attack as a defensive method.One drives one's opponent backward off-balance and counter-punches a lot. Yet kung fu evidently uses a lot of different parts of the body to strike including elbows, knees, back hands etc. None of that is permitted in boxing, and neither are rabbit punches or intentional head buts.
One of the best things about wing chun fighters are chain punches with real speed. I doubt if that happens much even in MMA events though. Maybe Conner McGregor can execute one of those back flips with a heal strike on the top of Mayweather's head- who knows? It is certain that it would be an illegal kick however, as would be all of those brilliant Bruce Lee kicks. That style never caught on in professional boxing.
