What do you think about Jose Canseco's attempt at Boxing?

Answer 1

It was like Man vs Boy!  Just because Canseco is big that doesn't mean he can fight.  Vai is a former athlete and a former golden gloves boxer.

Who do you think would win?  Nicolai Valuev vs Muhammad Ali?  Same concept!

Answer 2

I think he should have chosen a less experienced opponent. Most people don't debut against ex-gg level boxers.

Answer 3

Jose Canseco's attempt illustrates boxing is not an easy sport (your linked articles main point).  Boxing is not just two guys in a brawl.  There is a reason it is called the "Sweet Science."     Canseco is big, athletic, and strong.  However, it doesn't mean he can fight.

Answer 4

Part of preparing for any contest is knowing your opponent.  Apparently Jose did not see what was coming.  Surely he knew about the boxing background.  I am not clear on that point.  But, how could you not know.  And why would you think an extra 43 pounds would overcome a guy with 80 fights under his belt?
