why didnt tito ever fight mosley

[boxer2k5]

Because, at the time Tito was chasing Roy Jones.. Mosley beat Oscar in 2000, in the same year Tito had all his JMW fights and then move up to 160 in 2001. Just the timing was never right. Tito plan was to fight Hopkins and then move up again to fight Jones.

Then later on Shane was suppose to be Tito come backing fight but lost to Winky and then Tito fought Mayorga, then Shane lost to Winky again. And, Tito fought Winky.

that sounds about right thanks man

I asked this question months back and that was the response I got. Shame it never happened

funny how he beat them both lol

[boxer2k5]

Mosley wasnt defensly sound fighter he wouldnt been much of a fight for Tito. Mayweather would do much better against Tito then Mosley. To beet Tito you need three things a good jab,good defense and good footwork. Mosely lacks a jab and defense. Lets put it this way Cotto is a water down version of Tito.

i believe mayweather would UD SD tito based off styles and skills

cosign tito weakness is a good boxer he cant get pass a jab even if his life depends on it. Its funny how cotto is tito successor he able to get threw good boxers but falls apart against big punchers. I guess we cant have it both ways its one or the other.

i think that would have been a huge fight. after mosley beat oscar the first time.
why didnt they set that up? i know tito was starting to campaign at 154 but mosley went up to 54 anyway. i guess catchweights wasnt popular. but i think this would been a great fight.

everytime i think about it i find a way for the other to win. i jsut cant come to a final conclusion who would win.

I think they were gonna fight but becuase elected to fight winky wright first before the proposed felix trinidad mega fight he ended up losing to wright in 2 matches and felix trinidad ended up going to middleweight where the ''executioner'' bernard hopkins shocked the boxing world and knocked him out.

DLH was a better boxer than Trinidad and he lost, Trinidad was a puncher with one punch. Trinidad fought in straight lines. Mosley would have had target practice. Mosley by UD. But this is a fantasy match up, so really just say your opinions, don't get mad at other people's opinions. It's a fight that will never happen, but I think Mosley's handspeed, power in both hands, and footwork back in the day would have gotten him the UD against a guy with one punch.

Props to Mosley for that. That was when nobody wanted any part of Winky. DLH, Trinidad, or Forrest, none of them wanted Winky because he was a high-risk low-reward type of fighter. Same with Margarito, Mosley fought Margarito when nobody but Paul Williams was willing to fight him. Crazy thing is he fought Winky twice even after being dominated the first time.

I would have loved to have seen this fight but as its already been stated it was bad timing.

If they fought at 154 i think Tito would have been the first guy to stop Shane, i really do.

maybe your right because mayoga and plaster boy have simliar styles to tito . then again mosley has a useless jab and very short arms for his height.

Yep, took him 12 rounds too lol... to knock out a bloated WW at MW.

The only one shot Tito hit him with that was decent the ref stepped in for some ****** crap too...
