And the Whitaker fight was no gift, Pernell was just past his prime and too coked up to put up a fight against Trinidad.

Seems to me that there is a lot of revisionist history here concerning both Hopkins and Trinidad. It's not just those 2 but a lot of the popular fighters as well, where fans like to omit or exaggerate stuff.
Mosley was set to fight Winky Wright when him and Trinidad came to an agreement. Everybody expected Mosley to pull out of the Winky Wright fight. But Mosley being the nice guy/dumb ass that he is didn't want to do that to Winky. So he went ahead with the fight. He lost to Wright. And he lost the Trinidad fight
