Herschel Walker: If Jose Canseco wants to fight ... I will hurt him

Quoteworthy:
"Canseco wanted to fight me, and what's strange about it is that what I do is not a circus, not going in there playing trying to make money. My money went to Pastor Evans at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. All my proceeds went there. I didn't get into this to make money, I got into it for the competition. Jose is doing this for the money and my thing is, if he wants to fight me and thinks it's going to be a circus, I will hurt him. This is not a joke, I will hurt him. I don't do things as a joke [or] as entertainment. When we go out there and play a flag football game, that's entertainment, that's having fun. But this MMA fighting is real, you can get hurt and he doesn't understand this. I'm doing this as a fighter, not as a joke."
1-0 mixed martial artist, perhaps better known as former NFL great Herschel Walker, responds to the latest sorry attempt from baseball's steroid stool-pigeon, Jose Canseco, whose impotent effort to call out the former Heisman Trophy winner via Twitter was met with a collective face-palm from the MMA community. The Cuban reject already crumbled under the gland of Hong Man Choi back at DREAM 9 and is apparently once again hard up for cash or attention. Either way, let's hope it's the last we hear from the former "Bash Brother."

A fight I'd never want to see.
I’d root for Walker, but damn the company who puts this fight on…imo bad for the sport!
I do a lot of jacking off, ya know, because I don’t get no women, so these arms are, like, humongously big. See it’s workout, and it’s pleasure.._" Charles Bennett

u say u woundt want to see it, but how can u resist? I bet u would watch just like everyone else would watch. I would like to see walker crush him . Probably wont happen umless it takes place in Japan,for obvious reasons.
just cause i dont wanna see it doesnt mean i wouldnt watch. lol
nice…i got hathaway with the upset, diego going back up i kinda expect a poor performance his first time back.

Same here
It’d end up being a guilty pleasure, unless it was booked on a big show then the joke would go too far. I don’t mind freakshows as long as they aren’t presented to the masses as being legitimate MMA fights, it gives off a terrible first impression of the sport to newcomers in my opinion.

Tito Ortiz (seriously...)
nothing to do with the thread, but.....
I agree…war Hathaway. He’s like the white Jonny Bones that no one’s been watching. Get that kid over to Greg Jackson!
...
wow Hathaway gets to fight Diego already? thats great im suprised they havent pushed Etim more as he looks great too. Hathaway is strong and very confident
WANDY RIP Bispings going to toy with you then destroy you
Awesome
love this response to Canseco’s talking head earlier. Herschel is and always has been a stand up guy, not just a great athelete. Canseco is and always has been a dirtbag. I kind of actually want to see this just to see Canseco get embarassed. Unfortunately, I do not want him to get paid for anything…ever, which makes me not want to see this. Between a rock and a hard place
agreed.
Walker the robot with ass shaking ability. Couldnt even begin to imagine him fighting someone who could through leg kicks.

Yeah man, I think FOX should put on this fight!!!!
I would watch it and you know what??? It would probably get some very good ratings. All the casual sports fans including the geezers that hate MMA (like Wilbon and Kornheiser) would even love it and watch it.
Anybody here saying that they wouldn’t watch the fight are just kidding themselves and trying to sound all high and mighty. Trust me. These are the same folks that watched Choi/Jose
I AM SOMETIMES BIASED - Get over it!!!!!!!
sorry, i'm english, what did/has/will canseco do/done/did???

good baseball slugger who took steroids and snitched on other players who took them in a tell all book
He actually was an amazing baseball player mid 80's to early 90's
He is one of 4 baseball players ever and 1 of 2 American leaguers to ever hit 40/40 which is 40 homeruns and 40 stolen bases. If you think basebaball has been keeping records for a century or so to be 1 of 4 players to ever do it is huge! It is not so bad that he was using steroids, because in that time fram of baseball it was well known throughout the teams, ownership,. and the Commisioner that Steroids were being used by lots of players. Jose was kinda like the Godfather of steroids, taught a lot of people how to use them properly and all that… IT was not against baseball policy at the time, even though they were illegal. What screwed Canseco is that he dropped dime on everyone! He outed everyones personal dirty laundry. Had he just kept to himself, he may actually have saved some face, and still be respected in the baseball community.
He was banging Madonna as well. The other part of the bash brothers (Mark McGuire). I was at the Skydome when he hit a HR in my section, upper deck. Other then that, he’s now irrelevant

That’s all true, but I read his first book. He was right about everything, right down to the exact substance Rafael Palmeiro got popped for. Then he outed A-Rod in his second book, everyone thought he was full of shit, but he turned out to be right again. I really think if it wasn’t for Canseco, baeball would never have cleaned up the game and also would never have had a problem to begin with.
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
Im happy he shed some light on how many baseball players cheat. Those guys get paid ridiculous amounts of money and yet they feel the need to cheat? I never was a baseball fan but say someone like mark coleman retires then writes a book talking about all the mma guys who cheat. Would he get the same negative reactions canseco got? Or is it that canseco is such a douche that he gets negative reactions no matter what he does? Funny that alot of players denied cansecos shoot up stories but many have since confessed or been busted. From what i’ve heard, he’s segregated himself from alot of former lifelong friends/coworkers just for telling the truth. I think that takes balls. Anyway… Walker tko rd2
A Coleman tell-all about steroids in MMA wouldn’t even be a blip on the public radar. The general public already assumes the worst about fighters anyway, so actually hearing it wouldn’t matter in the least. Canseco’s book got such a huge reaction because baseball records in America are sacred. I am a huge football fan and Cowboys fan, but I have no idea what Emmitt Smith’s rushing record is. I and even casual baseball fans know immediately what 755, 61 and .406 mean. When those numbers start falling because of illegal help people get pissed off.

i know he tried to fight "How Thats My Shoe" in japan

Jose hate is unwarranted this long
The Jose hate for ‘what he did’ is so stupid. Ya, I get that he ratted on bunch of players. But he wasn’t lying. Not about any of them. And trial after trial all the losers said they didn’t use and weren’t using. Then month after month after year, one by one they’d all get busted. Yes he should have maybe kept quiet, but he got caught and simply said he knows many that use and everyone jumped on him saying “He doesn’t know anything”, he’s this and that asap. I’d have sold those pieces of shit down the river too.
Hate that some guys try their asses of and train and practice etc, just so some juice monkey can have the same talent with 1/2 the effort. Then ppl say “Well then he should use too”. What? Why the fuck should a guy use if he doesn’t want to? Maybe he has morals that are against them. Baseball is a joke anyways and I don’t watch due to this and the fact of how boring it is anyways.
You guys from cross’ seas aren’t missing shit!

cont'd
Sorry, just wanted to add that I do see hating this guy for this MMA stunt he’s been pulling. But I don’t personally blame him. I’ve seen what this guys life is like now and its awful. That documentary they had a year ago about this guy really wasn’t cool to see. He’s not doing well mentally, physically or anything. He has to take steroids just so ppl are aware too. His doctor told him his body only produces about 2-5% what a normal mans does due to it relying on what it always got from steroids.
So now he has to keep taking different prescription steroids.
Jose is just one of the unfortunates who made a mistake and now society has deemed him unfit for the rest of his life. Its silly. Guys like Terrell Owens, Jose, Roenick, Chad Johnson, etc just get hated on even if they stay out of trouble, due to having personalities or because in the past they were ‘out of line’. These guys didn’t kill anyone, lay off.

Serves him right for taking roids in the first place
That stuff ruins your health, honestly I have no sympathy for people who cause their own downfall by doing stupid shit like taking drugs. I don’t know much about baseball but it sounds like he was a good player who spoilt it for himself by trying to cheat and take drugs, every sport seems to have a headcase like that who wastes great opportunities that many would dream to have. Sorry Worby, I don’t feel sorry for people who cause their own problems in life, serves them right as far as I’m concerned.
"If I could change my name what would it be? Jesus"
Tito Ortiz (seriously...)
He said in his book that he would never have gotten past AA baseball without steroids, so I guess it’s fair to say that steroids gave about 20 years of fast living. He might say it was all worth it, but now he has nothing left but his name to get by on.

Beat Conseco Down
Wont be hard, so do it quick.
Overall – dont think this fight needs to happen.
Walker seems legitimately interested in mma, may not be for a career, per se, but more for personal achievement. So I say, let him fight a real fighter.

im actually starting to like walker more..at first when i heard he wanted to fight i thought of conseco and what a joke this is…but he put in work..and has a respect for the sport that not all people coming in from other sports have..i hope this match doesnt happen though..but walker would beat some ass..oh yeah..its awesome he donated all his earning to charity..
Has mauro renalo jocked any1 harder them Hershel walker?

Man, I can't believe......
they photoshopped Herschel’s head on my body!
lol That man has always been ripped but look at the dude approaching 50 years old. Guy is a freak. Start doing your pushups and situps ladies…..
Seriously, while his performance wasn’t overwhelming on the Strikeforce card, the man came in to the fight in great shape and took the fight fairly serious. Far more than I can say about the gassers they brought in for the last TUF!
Dana should not be taking any shots at Walker after having f’n bums like Wes Sims and Co on TUF……c’mon Dana get a f’n clue, please.
Did DW say anything after Walker's fight?
Because I don’t remember hearing anything from DW about this since, say, last September.
