Why did this fight never happen?

Its just too bad in a way that on of the biggest money fights in the sport with two of the most popular fighters in the sport never came off. Would have been a goodie I think

It was set up like this: Mosley wanted to fight De La Hoya in a third bout, but DLH didn't want to give Mosley a good cut (despite Mosley beating him twice). Then, Mosley was gonna fight Mayorga, but Mayorga lost to Spinks. Mosley finally settled for Winky Wright, and Trinidad was going to fight Mosley if Mosley won. Mosley lost of course and the rest is history. Trinidad came back against Mayorga and went on to lose to Wright.

it was never the right time . After Tito "beat" DLH he moved up Mosley just became a welter. After Mosley "beat" DLH Tito had Lost to Hop and retired so there was no point at that time for the fight . Then like all them said about the Winky part of it all

thats not why I know i was just answering to the "big wins over forrest" post

He only had the big wins over Forrest. He never did much else, unlike Trinidad, who had lots of good money fights. mosley lost to forrest

Who cares? At this point, Trinidad/Moseley is a sideshow, not a headliner....

Tito Trinidad vs. Sugar Shane Mosley. I wasn't watching much boxing at the time (5 years ago or so). This would have seemed like an obvious superfight when Shane moved up to 147. Was Tito already at 154 when Shane moved up? While Tito's power was stunning I have a hard time seeing anyone beating the Shane that defeated Oscar in the first fight Tito & Don King was at ringside during Wright vs. Mosley 1 and had Mosley won that fight, it was 100% guaranteed that Trinidad vs. Mosley would've happened.

Moseley's fault He only had the big wins over Forrest. He never did much else, unlike Trinidad, who had lots of good money fights.

Well they were suppose to fight after trinidad beat mayorga but then wright beat shane and rest is history.
