Why didnt Trinidad and Mosley ever fight?

[catalinul]

Mosley lost to Wright.

[Stab Judah]

haha you were actually closer with the "96" choice...lol...

where did u get 2006 from?

haha because i know what i'm talking about .

[mike ruler]

I think he is an easy target...Forrest & Winky landed with no problem...and Tito has much more power than them.

Tito > Forrest & Winky

You put Tito over Winky? I think they settled that...lol

But ne ways. The common factor between Forrest and Winky, is that they both started their attack with the jab. That was Shane's weakness. Against those naturally bigger fighters, they used a beautiful long stiff jab. Trinidad never displayed that...which is why I think he'll beat him to the punch...

They didn't fight earlier because Trinidad was a JMW, while Mosley was fighting ODLH.

I beg to differ, Shane’s hand speed was decent enough at 147 but was nowhere near as phenomenal at 135. If you remember correctly when Shane entered welter he fell in love with this whole new training regiment called “Power boxing” (whatever the hell that is) and stood in front of his opponents more. Tito never had issues with fighters who stood in front of him just fighters who used more lateral movement i.e DLH and DLH speed was average at best. Somewhere down the stretch of this fight I see Mosley standing in front and eating power shots that he should have never taken initially due to his lack of lateral movement.

Peace.

haha you mean BALCO? Performance Enhancing Drugs?
"peeleft:
Victor Conte used his knowledge of nutrition, largely self taught, to devise a system of testing athletes for mineral deficiencies in order to maintain a perfect balance of minerals in the body. Through regular urine and blood testing, Conte would monitor and treat mineral shortages in athletes, supposedly elevating their level of physical wellness dramatically..............BALCO devised a wide range of substances, that when used in a cycle could go relatively undetected by drug testing, even on the Olympic level.

Shane Mosley vs. Trinidad??
EXCLUSIVE: MOSLEY CALLS OUT TRINIDAD FOR FEB. PPV DATE!
By G. Leon


Now that the Oscar De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather mega-fight is a done deal, former three division champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley is expected to return to the ring on February 24, a date originally penciled in for Mayweather. Moments ago when ********** asked Mosley who he planned on fighting, the pride of Pomona, Californai shocked us by basically calling out Puerto Rican living legend Felix "Tito" Trinidad. "I'm always looking for the biggest fights out there and I planned on returning to the welterweight division, but to me the biggest fight out there for me is Felix Trinidad. We were supposed to fight and never got the chance to, and I know that's a fight that would really excite boxing world and I'm ready to give it to them." But would Mosley be willing to move all the way up to middleweight to face a puncher like Trinidad immediately after a planned return to 147? "I could put on ten pounds and fight him at 157 with no problem," stated Mosley. Full interview to follow so stay tuned. (1:38 PM EST)

"Tito beat Oscar, I beat Oscar, I think it's a good situation that we fight," said Mosley of a possible match against Puerto Rico's Trinidad perhaps in September. "He outweighs me he fights at 160 pounds. But I take consideration that he's been out of boxing for a while so we'll try to make it happen. It's a good match."

That's Mosley for you. He's always thinking.

was NEVER gonna happen in 2006....

i was speaking on in their primes....

i dont belive anyone thought that they would REALLY fight in 2006

[VaBoriKua 2.0]

I got tito by late knockout. Mosley wouldnt stick str8ght to boxing hes more like a boxer/brawler and would stand in front of tito and thats where his mistake would be if forrest was able to knockdown mosley then i kno titos left hook would have mosley down. Also to the guy who said he never seen tito use the jab he obviously never seen trinidad fights i got the collection watch his early fights and even his fight after the hopkins bout when he fought chariffi he did use his jab just that later in his career he would fall in love with his left hook more and more. It would be of been a hell of a fight with possibly both touching the canvas but i got tito in 9
