Assuming both are in their prime, who wins?

Bruce Lee 5'7" 135lbs. - Here a snipet of a profile from some website somewhere. http://martialarts.a.../p/brucelee.htm

The Kung Fu Background of Bruce Lee:
Lee’s father, Lee Hoi-Cheun, was his first martial arts instructor, teaching the Wu style of Tai Chi Chuan to him early on.

Bruce Lee Taking Martial Arts Further:
Most don’t realize how eclectic Lee’s martial arts background was. Beyond kung fu, Lee also trained in western boxing where he won the 1958 boxing championship against Gary Elms by knockout in the third round.
Lee also learned fencing techniques from his brother, Peter Lee (a champion in the sport). This varied background led to personal modifications to Wing Chun Gung Fu, calling his newer version of the style, Jun Fan Gung Fu. In fact, Lee opened his first martial arts school in Seattle under the moniker, Lee Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute.

Jeet Kune Do:
After a match against Wong Jack Man, Lee decided that he had failed to live up to his potential because of the rigidity of Wing Chun practices. Thus, he began to formulate a martial arts style that was practical for street fighting and existed outside of the parameters and limitations of other martial arts styles. In other words, what worked stayed and what didn’t went.
This is how Jeet Kune Do was born in 1965. Lee opened two more schools after moving to California, only certifying three instructors in the art himself: Taky Kimura, James Yimm Lee, and Dan Inosanto.

Andre the Giant 7'5" 520 lbs. -

The monstrously huge Andre was undefeated in the WWF until Hulk Hogan beat him him Wrestlemania III. Don't know what all to say about Andre. His size pretty much says it all.

No one interested?

Bruce Lee without question. Andre was too big and slow. A fake fighter. Andre would probably never lay a finger on Bruce.

I would have to agree.

I know it's a scripted movie, but if you get a chance, watch the fight scene in "Game of Death" between Bruce Lee and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Here it is:

That movie, as far as I understand, was the film Bruce Lee had planned to be the demonstration piece of his martial art Jeet Kune Do.

Andre the Giant "lost" because he was having health problems, and Hulk Hogan "beating" him was a way of passing the torch, and helped further "Hulkamania".
