Jose Canseco challenge any ex-athlete to a boxing match for 5 grand. Vai Sikahema accepted the challenge. Even though Jose Canseco is twice his size, my money is on Vai Sikahema.

Calling Don Muraco!

Or how about Jesse Sapolu?

Randy Couture, since he's sort of not fighting anymore, would be an awesome choice to step into a ring with Jose and shut him up.

Calling Fiamalu Penitani (aka Musashimaru)...

Or Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock), former college football player, former pro wrestler...

Or Kurt Angle, former Olympic wrestler...

Whoa, Canseco is hurting for money. If it's PPV, will anyone purchase? Not me, unless he's fighting BJ Penn!

I hope Vai kills'em in the ring and ends this sideshow act's career. It's painful watching him go below rock bottom, cruise through the mantle, and head straight to the earth's core.

I don't think Canseco is "twice his size," but I'm with Kornheiser and Wilbon, who hope that if this fight happens, Sikahema teaches Canseco a lesson. I'm a lifelong Oakland Athletics fan and loved Canseco when he played for them. Like everyone else who follows sports, I've lamented the sad waste of talent that turned him into a joke. I felt pretty good for him when the aftermath of the Juiced book lent him some amount of credibility, then lamented again the way he rode that into yet another joke.

There are all kinds of ways Canseco would legitimately find himself back in the spotlight he craves so much, and he may have to work a little harder for a paycheck that way, but I do hope he decides on one of them, because he, a man who cheated in order to help his teams win, shouldn't be more of an outcast than Pete Rose, a man who possibly cheated in order to help his teams lose, and yet he is.

5K sounds like a manini amount. But I think Jose Canseco's promoter didn't want to offer too much because of expenses. They were phising for any ex-athlete to accept their fight challenge. No disrespect to Vai Sikahema(but he did go to BYU) they was hoping for a bigger name ex-athlete. They send out the bait, and would have switch if a bigger name came along. I looked up Vai Sikahema's bio on Wikapedia to see if he had a connection to Hawaii by playing H.S football here. Instead, Vai Sikahema's nephew by marriage is Napolean Dynamite "gosh" Jon Heder. I'm confused trying to figure out how the family tree work in how they are related.

Meh. I'd do it for free. But the money would be nice.

I don't know about pain. I'm just sick and tired of Canseco's smug mug.

By losing, Jose Canseco got 35K. Vai Sikahema got 25K, which 5K went to a widow of a policeman.

Jose Canseco needs the cash. He should of have Madonna's baby as he recently claimed. Their baby would be a cash cow for him like how the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby went to court to be a guardian of the kid's inheritance.

So's the cop's widow. At least we know the widow is not going to splurge the money getting juiced up. :p

Of course, Canseco gives not training as an excuse for his loss, and he wants a rematch. Still a class act. L-)

Some video (http://video.nbc10.com/player/?id=275289#videoid=275289).

BTW Walkoff, Vai may have a Hawaii connection after all, at least by marriage. His wife's name is Keala.

LOL. He should have juiced up, if he's not going to train. :p

Jose Canseco wants to have another boxing match. He didn't "fool me once" on the first fight.

Jose Canseco found a challenger he can beat in a boxing match. He might be fighting ex-child star Danny Bonaduce.

Okay, now I'm torn.

I'd like to see Danny's face smashed in. But I don't like Canseco to win.

I'm trying to remember if Vanilla Ice was doing Madonna in a biblical way too. Vanilla Ice and Jose Canseco must be kicking themselves because they could have been Guy Ritchie and get millions from her. Instead, they're just making a few thousand on these celebrity boxing matches.
