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. Particularly because the outfielder recently lauded Bonds’ help with hitting.

“He’s like a technician; he’ll get as technical as you can understand or as simple as you need,” Stanton told ESPN, to which Bonds added, “I just look at it this way: You either look at it right, or you like it wrong. That’s their choice. That’s the bottom line.”

In the radio interview, Le Batard suggested Stanton stand up for himself against the home run king. After all, Stanton is commonly considered the strongest active player in the majors.

But Giants diehards would be quick to remind Stanton about Bonds’ dugout dust-up with Jeff Kent.
