it's joe lewis and skipper in all 3 pics. Bruce is not in any of these footages seen in Man, the Legend doc. BL sparred full contact with protective gear re Longbeach 67 with Inosanto demo - many of those pics of BL was play sparring not full contact as there's no safety gear on his opponents.
Don't take this the wrong way, but it's not just because you say it is. There are too many unknowns that point to Bruce by looking at the facts of this footage. As opposed to you just saying so.
These sparring examples you mention of Bruce are only what we have been shown. Or only what they have let us see! The thing is this, if Bruce was sparring in his pre JKD years, why would they have to have protective gear? I mean he was tough, but he was no God! I don't recall the extras on the set of Enter the Dragon challenging Bruce then saying "Wait one moment! You mind if I get my protective gear on first, Bruce?"
Another point, when Bruce Lee sparred with Taky Kimura, neither of them had protective gear.
Thanks,
