Canseco has fighting words for Rodriguez

Former baseball player and current celebrity boxer Jose Canseco said he would like to fight Yankees star Alex Rodriguez.

Speaking Thursday at a weigh-in for his upcoming fight in Massachusetts, Canseco was asked which current player he most would like to box?

His response: “Who I would love to fight the most, if I could pick a baseball player? Alex Rodriguez, get your [butt] in the ring, I’ll beat you to a pulp. That lying little idiot, I’d like to get him in the ring.”

THE ROAD TO TITLE 27

Canseco has written two books on steroid use in baseball. At first his claims were dismissed, but many of them were proven to be correct. In “Vindicated,” released in 2008, he said he introduced Rodriguez to a trainer who might have supplied him with steroids.
