SPORTS GALLERY -- It'd be hard to know whom to root for in a fight between acquitted murder suspect O.J. Simpson and convicted statutory rapist Joey Buttafuoco.
But, despite Buttafuoco's best efforts at getting Simpson into a pay-per-view bout, the Juice is playing hard to get.
"I'm definitely in the fight," says Buttafuoco, whose ex-wife, Mary Jo, was shot in the face in 1992 by his mistress, Amy Fisher, then 17. "It's going to be huge. He wants it, and I want it."
Apparently, though, someone forgot to inform Simpson. His lawyer, Yale Galanter, told the New York Daily News he doesn't think his client is up to taking on the 49-year-old auto-body man.
"After double-knee replacement and recently celebrating his 55th birthday, we think O.J. Simpson would be a great candidate to fight Buttafuoco's grandma," Galanter said.
