If it was about money there was no fight bigger than De La Hoya 2, and as far as Quartey his decision making is almost as bad as Tito's with retiring after every loss, but it was only a matter of time until the two fought, it was alway's Quartey's goal too fight Tito. Like I said 154 was fine
Hey, I'm not saying I agree with Trinidad, I'm just saying I can't fault him for the decision. Mosley was just not that well known and never was much of a draw. I would not be surprissed if Trinidad just did'nt think much of him at the time. When DLH lossed, there was only one man on Trinidad's sights, and that was Roy Jone Jr. After his loss to Hopkins though, he should've come back down to reality and taken over the 154lb division. I feel at 154 he would've beaten them all, cept maybe Wright.
