The cliff notes version is that Mosley wasn't willing to wait on rescheduling after Zab's accident.

Apparently there was another opportunity for them to fight but Zab turned it down. Details are outlined below:

I will check those out later, but how do yall see the fight playing out.

I still have some promotional flyers for that fight, was scheduled to happen.

I can barely remember the context at the time, but I think Mosley would have taken it

ZAB was weak mentally. When the going got tough he would fold. Mosley would have been a favourite there

If the fight had happened when it was scheduled (2008) then I would have favored Mosley because he was in better form at that point. Around that time he lost a close UD to a prime Miguel Cotto, knocked out Ricardo Mayorga and then obliterated a heavy-favored Antonio Margarito.

Zab, on the other hand, lost a technical decision to Joshua Clottey and then finished the year with a ho-hum win over a journeyman in Ernest Johnson.

I think Zab would have his moments but Mosley would be more consistent down the stretch to win by decision (116-112).

Mosley VS Zab/Berto, two interesting fight that never happened. Would have been good names on Shane's resume.

[ATSG]

Shane probably stops him around the 5th or 6th. Zab didn't have the mental focus or defense to keep Shane off him.

Nothing much to talk about. Not every good fighter fights every other good fighter in or near his weight. Not back then and not today. Mosley would be heavily favored to win i think.
