Another "Pretender" over his head, fights I wan't to see in 2008 (that won't happen), will Brock Lesnar be the next big thing (again)

What up my Lumpelstilskins? Feels like your boy Larry hasn't yapped for a while. Did ya miss me? Don't answer that.

So lets start off with a joke. Oscar De La Hoya vs. Steve Forbes. Let's start off with another joke, Oscar De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather Part II. And one more joke, Oscar De La Hoya wants to fight 3 times in 2008. To all you out there that like brain teasers what is the common factor in all three jokes? That's right girls and boys, Oscar De La Hoya! I had a lot of respect for the Golden Boy after his split decision loss with Floyd, if he kept up the pressure he would have actually won, but this 2008 plan is a scam job.

Joke 1: Fighting Steve Forbes, another Contender TV show contestant. You know how I feel about these chooches, they are all getting big time fights they don't deserve, and they keep gettin blown out of the water. In May when this fight takes place the same thing will happen. At least it won't be on PPV, but I hear that Paulie Malignaggi was an option who is a current champ. Plus Paulie likes to yap and would of hyped up the fight. Oscar still probably would of won but at least that would of been a respectable non PPV fight that the "fans" would have some interest in.

Joke 2: Rematch with Floyd? What the hell is the point? Yes the first was close but that's not why they are doing this. They both want to cash in on a phat payday. I hope they get burned on the PPV sales this time around. Shame on you Floyd for ducking Cotto and choosing this path instead.

Joke 3: 3 fights this year for Oscar? When, who, why? It ain't gonna happen.

So what fights do I want to see in 08 that won't happen?

1. Miguel Cotto vs. Floyd Mayweather. This is the mega fight in my 'pinion. Unfortunately due to the mess I just wrote about, it doesn't seem like its going to happen. Floyd, your all time great status is not going to happen going this route.

2. Sam Peter vs. Wladimir Klitschko. These guys met a few years ago and Peter put the big Ukranian on his ass 3 times in the fight and still lost by a unanimous decision! I didn't get to see the fight but how the hell do you lose by unanimous decision while scoring 3 10-8 rounds? Two big heavy hitters, some semi glass jaws, just what the heavyweight division needs!

3. Kelly Pavlik vs. Joe Calzaghe. How about this one? More speed, more bombs being thrown, me likey.

4. Edison Miranda vs. Kelly Pavlik. To be honest I would rather see this rematch vs. a non title fight rematch between Pavlik and Jermaine Taylor. Miranda and Pavlik are two crazy power punchers that take two shots for every one they land.

So what you guys think, does Larry Lump have a shot as a promoter for the people??

OK finally a little MMA insight. So big Brock Lesnar has his UFC debut on Feb. 2nd. To be honest I am kinda pumped up about this one. They are not putting Brock in with a total chooch like they (not the UFC) did with Kimbo Slice. Plus I think Brock has some skills besides just being a big ass guy. UFC is already talking about him being a headliner at a UFC PPV for this summer. Of course he needs to seal the deal in early Feb. before he gets to be a main attraction.

So there you have it, a bunch of stuff for you to lump on my peeps.
