Greatest Athletes Ever Bracket (Vote)

Thanks to the Muppet Madness bracket for the idea. Here's how it works. I picked the top 32 athletes of all time. Then I picked which ones out of each matchup would be in the Sweet 16. Now it's up to you. You have to vote for each matchup to reveal your Elite Eight. Here's what the matchups are:

Michael Jordan vs. Michael Phelps
Babe Ruth vs. Lance Armstrong
Muhammad Ali vs. Pele
Willie Mays vs. Bobby Orr
Wayne Gretzky vs. Jack Nickalus
Magic Johnson vs. Joe Montana
Tiger Woods vs. Jackie Robinson
Larry Bird vs. Jerry Rice
