Classic Lump Wednesday-The Mayweather Family Soap Opera continues..

Happy Lump Day from your Boy L3!
So as we all wait in "anticipation" for this weekends BIG De La Hoya fight (you smellin the sarcasm here?), I thought we would give you one of Oscar's better moments. I mean it's only fair since last weeks Classic Lump had him on the receiving end of a brutal Hopkins liver shot.
Before we get to that, lets talk about the real drama taking place during this weekends fight, the Mayweather brothers. These guys make the Adam's Family look normal. OK try and follow me here. Floyd Mayweather Sr. was the trainer for both his son and Oscar. He had to make a decision to pick a fighter when they both fought and he picked Oscar. Oscar felt uncomfortable with using his opponents dad as a trainer (small conflict of interest don't you think) so he went with Freddy Roach. So Floyd Sr. goes back to his son's corner and co-trains him with his brother Roger Mayweather. Floyd Sr & Jr. have a falling out and Sr. gets bumped from the training camp. So Floyd Sr. sits in the stands for the Mayweather/De La Hoya fight and roots for Oscar.
With me so far?
So now Oscar De La Hoya is fighting Steve Forbes this weekend. Floyd Sr. is back in the corner of Oscar, and Steve Forbes trainer is Roger Mayweather who has trained him in the past, but......
Floyd Jr. does not like the fact that Roger is training Steve Forbes, because if Steve wins it is going to ruin a huge payday for Floyd in the fall when he is supposed to meet Oscar for a rematch. Basically if Uncle Roger's fighter wins, Floyd can't feed his kids.
Sooo, Roger agrees to step down but Forbes still wants a Mayweather as a trainer so he hires the THIRD brother Jeff Mayweather, who is the more quiet laid back one of the group. As sand falls through the hour glass these are the wacky days of our lives...

OK so back to the Classic Lump, De La Hoya vs. Ricardo Mayorga. Mayorga talked so much smack before this fight. No one in De La Hoya's family was safe from his wrath. Trying to get into Oscar's head did not work though as you can see from the following clip.

Why can't he get a shot?

Yo Sanjar,

He is actually the WBO super welterweight champ and has held the title since 2006. Looks like he needs to either drop or gain a few pounds to get into the hot divisions where some of the big name fighters exist like Cotto, Pavlik, or Mayweather.

The Ukran cannot touch the great Joachim Alcine. Moose speaks of shoeless folk. Joachim had no shoe and no food too in our Haitian land. He is our idol. Give him shot now!
