Google undefeated, Bill "SUPERFOOT" Wallace, and heavyweight Joe Lewis. These men were Full Contact fighting, world champions. I was fortunate enough to train with both of them.
I admire, and like Chuck Norris, but he competed in amateur point style karate, and never fought Full Contact professionally, which is much tougher. There are literally hundreds of full contact fighters that are tougher, pound for pound.
Bill Wallace trained Elvis, and was body guard for celebrities, including John Belushi. Chuck is king of the big screen, though Bill and Joe did star in a few martial arts films.
Both are in their 60's now, but still train ,and hold martial arts seminars all over the country.

Bill "superfoot" Wallace was one of the baddest men ever born.
Very few people have even heard of him.
I always wanted to meet him.
Very cool that you trained with him.

He could literally do things with his feet,and legs that would amaze you. One of the most flexible people i've ever seen. He was also one of the funniest, and could probably have been a stand up comedian.
Joe Lewis was one of the most powerful men, a boxer in the marine corp, and later studied martial arts in the orient. He was a sparring partner for Mohammed Ali, and could move across the floor so quickly, he seemed to almost levitate.

Bill Wallace was inspirational for me when I was in high school. I met him once & he was very polite & nice to a dorky kid.
Joe Lewis was one bad dude - I remember reading that he would get in a groove - say his sidekick was working well one tournament, & he would score his points with that.
