    Why you can't, you were not stabbed wtih knife in eyes.

    Nope, that's what you Liston fans want to think because your hero.
    I'll take what Eddie and Ali said over what you think.
    I think Eddie had discomfort but was brave enough to hide it, some fighters fought with broken hands and split nose and didn't show any discomfort so it is not strange that Eddie hid it good.

    Seems like you can't take that your hero cheated and blinded few of his opponents, and somehow are trying your best to show it but you can't, because they were blinded.

    We don't know who that was, maybe Carbo maybe someone else.

    You can't be blinded by something that waw created specially for boxing.
    It was something that was use on purpose.

    Literally nobody on this forum, not a single person cosigns their post by saying "Yup this is my post, nobody else's" because it goes without saying. Now when people quote something, of course they're going to source it. You didn't. You instead tried to pass it off as your own work, something you've done across a minimum of 3 (undoubetdly more) permabanned accounts.[/QUOTE]
    If I said it was my post then you can call me a liar but since not you're just a crazy douche who can't take what is in that post.

    Again, where I claimed anything I provided was mine?

    When you can find that, I'll admit I wanted to steal that, but since you can't better shut up.

    You think Frankie Carbo may have been in Liston's corner.

    No further questions.

    Why on earth are you still peddling this nonsense that Machin was '' blinded '' by Liston ?
    Why did Machin not say anything for a whopping four years after he was allegedly '' blinded ''
    by Liston ?
    Why does Machin show absolutely no signs of distress in his eyes during or after his fight with
    Sonny ?
    Sonny like the rest of us had his flaws,However telling his cornerman to rub the '' astringent compound ''
    on his gloves doesn't ring true.How long after the fight did Pollino make this accusation ?
    So Jack Mckinney allegedly heard Liston give these instructions but needed to be told by Pollino
    that Liston ordered the substance to be put onto his gloves ?
    So inconsistent,so implausible.

    Actually Sonny made a very plausible point.The mafia are quite strict about folks telling about their
    operations.When I say '' quite strict '' I suppose what I'm saying is that whistle-blower would be
    eliminated.

    Carbo was in Alcatraz .
    There is no conclusive proof that Ali was deliberately blinded by Liston's corner.
    Any thing else is just speculation.
    Angelo Dundee thought liniment applied to Sonny's injured shoulder case the irritation.
    Nobody knows , especially agenda driven posters who seek to claim third hand hearsay is definitive evidence , it isn't.

    No there was only one confirmed case of a substance getting into the eyes of any of
    Liston's opponents.That of course was Muhammad Ali.I think we've covered all bases for that
    one.

    So this member of the mafia was famous and yet was able to maintain a low profile at the fights.
