    For example, has any fighter ever come back to the ring after being in a coma or some other serious injury. Passed medicals somehow,lol.

    Trying to think of some examples.

      Willie Pep was in an airplane crash. Vinnie Paz broke his neck and came back all juiced up.

                Pep was from the state of champs and still is the greatest defensive fighter ever.

                  Former heavyweight title challenger Cleveland "Big Cat" Williams was shot in the stomach by a cop in the middle of his career.

                  Mike Tyson once claimed he broke his back. So what if there was no record of him being treated for it?

                    Jorge castro was in a pretty bad accident, he was in the hospital for like 30 days, he came back to fight, and got KO'ed. I guess he fought again later and KOed that guy in return.

                    Cotto's car accident is also pretty well known, but he mostly damaged his arm.

                    "It was a very serious accident. I broke my arm and shoulder in four different places. I think being in the shape I am in really helped."...in addition to a scar on his right shoulder, he has a six--inch titanium rod in his right arm...
