I thought you produced those points as a way of pointing out Granberry's disdain for Ali. I didn't realise those were stated viewpoints he actually holds.

Unreal.

He may have said that, but it's simply not true. We talked about this before. Blind means you can't see at all. He could. He knew where Walcott was. It's all on tape, plain as day.

so your implying the rock was lying? how do you know he could not see. did you clone yourself into his body so that you could physically tell he could see? marciano himself said he could not see, that he was blinded and his eyes were burning. marcianos corner admitted this. was this all lies?

He could have lied. He could have exaggerrated. Perhaps he was misquoted.

No I didn't clone myself into his body.

I know that he could see because he went right after Walcott, throwing and sometimes connecting.
The blood from the cut could have been been been annoying and could have made his eyes burn. However, that is completely different than being blind.

If you are blind, you can't see. Marciano came right at his opponent. He had no problem knowing where Walcott was. If he was really blind, he would have no idea where Walcott was.

As for his corner "admitting" that Marciano was blind , this isn't admitting anything bad at all. This story just makes Marciano look better.

I agree. The use of the word, "admitted" is subtle & deceiving. You see it all the time. The correct word should be claimed, but that carries less weight.
