Muhammad Ali:

Here comes Jordan, big tongue wobbling

Flying through the air like a big dumb goblin

You're the only Bull that's uglier than Rodman

Messing with me is gambling, you got a problem

Your whole basketball career turned whack

When you came back a Wizard like Gandalf the Black

You should have kept your ugly sneakers packed up on a shelf

Stick to golf, you can keep the ball to yourself

Ooh, I'm so pretty, my hands are so fast

I'll whoop your face back to your Hitler mustache

Now your daddy got killed and I feel for your family

But your baseball career, now that was a tragedy

Poll
Coming Soon!

Trivia

 * This will be the first battle to feature two African-American combatants.
 * This will be the second battle to feature famous athletes (the first one is Babe Ruth vs Lance Armstrong).
 * It will be the 7th battle in which guest actors have been called back to play other roles (Zach Sherwin, thrice; George Watsky, twice; Dante Cimadamore, six times).
 * This is the second battle for professional comics Key & Peele.
 * It is the fifth battle overall in which both combatants are living.
