    Mosley vs Trinidad, how come it never happened?

    they share the same era, class weights and also share many same enemies. both foughts ODLH, Vargas, winky and Mayorga.

    its really strange, even in the past i think these match-up rarely brought up. surely they are popular enough for fans to buy their PPV clash.

    maybe some boxing gurus and historian can enlighten me

    Yeah, it's one of those fights that never happened. I don't know why. It would have been a great match given their styles. I got Tito by stoppage in a hard fought fight.

      No window to make the fight happen.

      SSM didn't move up to 147 (from 135) til Sept. 1999. Tito had his last fight at 147 in Sept. 1999.

      And Tito had his last fight at 154 in Dec. 2000 & SSM didn't move to 154 til 2003 when Tito was in retirement.

        They were supposed to fight in 2004 but Shane ended up losing to Winky Wright twice, therefore, Trinidad ended up fighting Wright instead. I believe it was the 1st Mosley vs Wright fight where Trinidad was in the audience and the stage was being set for the fight by the commentary.

                    Timing.

                    Shane had just become the topmwelter, and Tito was crushing guys at jmw, and then middleweight until Hopkins.

                    Then Tito retired and Shane went to 154.

                    When Tito returned, he probably would have fought Shane, but Shane had just been schooled twice by winky wright

                    Then Tito fought winky and got schooled and retired again.

                    They were never in the same place at the same time
