Jose Canseco Accepts Shaq's Challenge

Earlier this month, NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal hit the Twitters and asked UFC president Dana White to set up a fight between him and Jose Canseco.

Now, nearly two weeks later, Canseco has accepted via, where else?  Twitter.

I accept shaqs challenge to fight him let's get it on .

Shaq tell ur girlfriend Dana white to make Thu fight happen

The problem with this whole thing is this...if White actually set up the bout, would it happen?

There isn't a doubt in my mind that O'Neal would show up.  This cat has done just about everything and, honestly, going out there to try and clean Canseco's clock would be righ up his alley.

Canseco, on the other hand, has had a hard time getting to the ring.

A few weeks ago, his schedule fight against Lenny Dykstra was canceled and, if you recall, dude pulled the old switcheroo at an event earlier this year by sending his twin brother Ozzie in his place.

Make this happen, Dana White...I need this.

The world needs this.

Shaq Wants to Fight Jose Canseco

Last week at this time, word came that Lenny Dykstra had dropped out of his "celebrity" boxing match against fellow shamed former big leaguer Jose Canseco.

Thankfully that bout never took place because, in its wake, we were graced with a barrage of anti-semitic tweets from Dykstra and a potential new foe for Canseco.

Ladies and gentlemen...enter "Shaq the Pugilist".

What up Dana white I wanna fight Jose conseco hook it up

Sure, O'Neal mispelled "Canseco", but c'mon...we all know who he meant and, honestly, wouldn't you want to see that fight?

Also, it wouldn't be the first time the 7'1" behemoth has set foot in the ring.  The four-time NBA champ has squared off against both Oscar de la Hoya and "Sugar" Shane Mosley on his show "Shaq Vs.".

Your move Canseco.  We both know you love a paycheck.
