In the cross hairs?

Ali, a former women’s boxing world champion, was asked to compare herself to Rousey. Initially, Ali brushed the question aside with the whole “MMA is apples and boxing is oranges” debate. But something stirred within Ali, possibly remnants of the alpha female from her boxing past, causing her to blurt out an answer.

“No woman in the world can beat me. Period,” said Ali to TMZ Sports. “…She’s too much smaller than me anyways. She’s like the size of my daughter. My three-year-old.”

In the streets, them’s fighting words.

Rousey, who is still picking her teeth with Cat Zingano’s humerus, responded to Ali’s comments when speaking with The Daily Beast:

“If she wants to take me up on that, I’m around. She’s retired and has several kids. I understand why she’d think that because she has a size advantage, but if you saw my last fight it had nothing to do with size or strength at all. That’s not how I beat people. So you can’t count having a size and strength advantage as having a real advantage against me.”

Ali, who turned 37 in December, is widely recognized as one of the greatest women’s boxers of all time. She retired in 2007 with a professional record of 24-0, with 21 of those wins coming by knockout.
