Lol....
Serg passed hospital exams but that doesn't mean a thing. Have you ever had knee surgery? My pops did and his movement was severely limited compared to his prime. Good for walking around but... Hospital still gonna clear you, in the grand scheme of things that don't mean a damn thing from within the context of high stress sports. You just merely have to look at how Sergio was shuffling around and not able to put momentum in his punches to know his knees weren't letting him do what he wanted to do.
Add to that age and a long layoff with little to NO sparring in between... And you get an extremely rusty, dusty, injure prone Sergio
I'm giving Cotto a lot of credit.. But I think this contingent of people that think Cotto beat a Sergio that was at the peak of his powers are pretty laughable.
