How many times will former athletes get into a boxing ring before they realize the sport is NOT easy? Not every big guy can be a boxer. The 6-foot-4, 248-lb. Jose Canseco, a former baseball slugger who has been at the center of the steroids controversy, found out quickly that you don't mess with someone who has legitimately worked on his fight game.

Former Philadelphia Eagle Vai Sikahema, 45, definitely has skills and showed them while pummeling Canseco in 97 seconds.

...

Not only did Canseco (pictured with ex-wife Jessica) insult boxers with this stunt, he actually had the gall before the fight to mention a mixed martial arts career. Canseco, 44, claims that he is a black belt in Kung Fu, Taekwando and Muay Thai:


"I wanted to get involved with MMA (mixed martial arts) and this is first step to it. Let's see what happens, how I do, how the fans like it. I'll have to see. If I go anything further than this I'll have to train a lot more, really take this serious. I really didn't take this serious at all. Hopefully we can have some fun."

5. I know. He's such a supreme asswipe.

I was trying to convince my co-worker to go in the ring with him. He'd have taken him, too.

2. I remember Ed "Too Tall" Jones in the boxing ring. (dating myself)

It was hilarious!

He was a helluva a DE, though.

4. I love that Jose went down that quick!

His ego probably filled the whole ring!

6. Jose has always been a douche anyhow.

3. The vast majority of the time, if it's MMA vs. boxer, the boxer will win.

Stupid...

That said, I wonder if any more wrestlers will try their hand in the octagon. :)
