Great interview. He never sparred and he wasn't a fighter. Being a great instructor doesn't translate into being a great fighter and vice versa. We see that today all the time (Greg Jackson for example).
"Bruce was not a fighter. He was an actor and a teacher. He was a great teacher."
And all that about Bruce being too quick and what not. Ok.
"Joe Lewis - Please, drop all the stuff you've heard. Martial arts is full of nonsense. Only believe what you have seen or can prove. Show me more than three real punches in a second and I will kiss your butt. ON film, Ali's jab took 7 frames to complete, and Sugar Ray's took 9 frames. A second of film takes 24 frames. Simple math guys. Three real punches per second and that is it. Less talk and more proof. Let's get in the ring and show off some of these secrets. They pay millions of dollars. That beats eating rice all your life and teaching martial arts forever anytime?"
