Why Barry Bonds threatened to fight Giancarlo Stanton

Let there be no doubt Barry Bonds is feisty as ever.

The Giants legend is ready to take on Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton in a batting-cage boxing match of sorts, Stanton told ESPN's "The Dan Le Batard Show.""Well, he said if I do some things that I shouldn't at the plate, he'll beat me up -- or we're going to fight," Stanton said of Bonds, who is the Marlins hitting coach. "So if you see in the tabloids that we got into it in the cage (then) I didn't do what he liked."Stanton's laugh with the comment indicates there isn't imminent threat of that actually happening.
