Live Poll: Face-Off: Bolo Yeung vs. Sammo Hung
Bolo Yeung because of his impressively muscular physique he was chosen for several bad guy movie roles, with which his first big break came alongside the legendary Bruce Lee in the 1973 movie Enter the Dragon (1973). They were really close friends. Since then, Bolo Yeung has appeared in countless martial arts movies, also working on two movies with Jean-Claude Van Damme in Bloodsport (1988) and Double Impact (1991).
Sammo Kam-Bo Hung made his feature film debut as an actor at the age of 12, and has worked in numerous martial arts films as an actor, director, producer and choreographer, collaborating with Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan (watch Painted Faces — Qi xiao fu (1988)), two superstars of the genre. Sammo Hung's big break as a film actor came with a role as a sparring partner in the Bruce Lee film Enter the Dragon (1973).
Who is your favorite actor/fighter?

@mariojacobs, an alternative take on the topic. If you plan on keeping your version, you might want to proofread it again, as there are several issues. (ie. "countless" and "numerous" should be quantified, "age of 12", should be "age of 10", 1973 is listed twice, "impressively" should be "impressive", "also working" should be "working", "Sammo Hung's" should be "Sammo Hung's", etc.)
FYC,
Bolo Yeung and Sammo Hung are both imposing figures in the Hong Kong martial arts and action film industry. Interestingly, both share defining deep lifelong friendships with two of martial arts' biggest stars, Yeung with Bruce Lee and Hung with Jackie Chan.
Bolo Yeung got his first big break in the movie, Enter the Dragon (1973), where his signature muscular physique and honed martial skills made him an impressive adversary for the lead, Bruce Lee. To date, he has appeared in over one hundred martial arts films and has faced off against some of the biggest stars in the martial arts genre over the past fifty years.
Sammo Hung's first notable film was Big and Little Wong Tin Bar (1962), which was his and Jackie Chan's feature film debut. To date, he has appeared in over two hundred martial arts films and TV series. His trademark heavy muscular build has faced off against some of the biggest stars in the martial arts genre over some fifty years. He has been widely credited in his role as a fight choregrapher, director and producer for giving many their starts in the industry.
Which of these legends of the Hong Kong martial arts industry is your favorite fighting actor of the two?

@mariojacobs
My mistake, in the Bolo paragraph, "honed martial skills" should be "honed fighting skills". Please, correct.
