Is there anyone in history who was as smart as Einstein and as strong as Bruce Lee?
The answer may surprise you, but this fella may have got close to Bruce Lee in terms of strength, while arguably surpassing Einstein in smartness.


While Sir Isaac Newton got his recognition out of his work in the scientific world (he almost single-handedly formed a new science, or at least changed the way it was perceived), apparently he was also a pugilist, a bare fist fighter, in a sport renowned for its brutality (a single boxing fight in the 17th century could last for 2/3 hours and usually ended only when one of the fighters got punched so hard he could barely see or remain on his feet):

It may not be generally known that Sir Isaac Newton, who died in 1726-7, over the age of eighty, used to strip up his shirt sleeves but a short time before his death, and showing his muscular brawny arm, would relate how dexterous he had been in his youth at the practice of boxing.
