Nixon.

I can't stress it enough. Caesar has a horrible connection to JFK. "Leaders who got assassinated". That's not enough substance for a rap battle. Not to mention the fact that both their "lovers" were already in Cleopatra vs Monroe. JFK vs Nixon won't just be a rehash of Obama vs Romney, as it can be done in a manner completely different. Besides, we've had two battles involving classical composers against modern musicians and two battles involving famous singers that were part of bands, and all those battles managed to stand alone from one another. JFK vs Nixon can easily be done the same. Yes, you could use that excuse for comparing it to Cleopatra vs Monroe, but JFK and Romney both have no connection to Romney and Obama (Sinatra met Presley and Mercury met Jackson, yes, but that's besides the point) while Cleopatra and Monroe both had direct connections to Caesar and Kennedy respectively. It's like doing Harry Potter vs Frodo Baggins after Dumbledore vs Gandalf.

And if anyone wants to start complaining about it being too Americanized, we've had plenty of battles like that. John Lennon vs Bill O'Reilly, Abe Lincoln vs Chuck Norris, Sarah Palin vs Lady Gaga, Mr. T vs Mr. Rogers, Captain Kirk vs Christopher Columbus (While Columbus isn't American himself, his feat. is that he's known for "discovering" America), Michael Jackson vs Elvis Presley, Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates, Barack Obama vs Mitt Romney, Babe Ruth vs Lance Armstrong, and Michael Jordan vs Muhammad Ali. I don't see why JFK vs Nixon should suddenly become THE exception of "Americanized" battles. JFK and Nixon are both respectively famous outside of America as they had big impacts on parts of the world. Just because many of you people outside of America haven't heard much about them, that doesn't really mean that they aren't famous. I never heard or knew about several of the ERB characters before their respective battles.
