it's a fact Xylocaine is not banned in 1 state (nevada) but there's valid reasons too why it's banned in 49 other usa states. it's safe to say Xylocaine is a widely banned illegal substance
dude give it up, Floyd only uses xylocaine for his hands due to him having incredibly fragile hands, if it was helping him hit harder at all he'd have a hell of a lot more KO's as of late

his fights from 2000 to 2009

Gregorio Vargas - UD (Nevada)
Emanuel Augustus - TKO (Michigan)
Diego Corrales - TKO (Nevada)
Carlos Hernandez - UD (Michigan) - It was only after this fight that he used Xylocaine for his fights with Castillo
Jesus Chavez - TKO (California)
Jose Luis Castillo - UD (Nevada)
Jose Luis Castillo II - UD (Nevada)
Victoriano Sosa - UD (California)
Phillip N'dou - TKO (Michigan)
DeMarcus Corley - UD (New Jersey)
Henry Bruseles - TKO (Florida)
Arturo Gatti - TKO (New Jersey)
Sharmba Mitchell - TKO (Oregon)
Zab Judah - UD (Nevada)
Carlos Baldomir - UD (Nevada)
Oscar De La Hoya - SD (Nevada)
Ricky Hatton - TKO (Nevada)
Juan Manuel Marquez - UD (Nevada)

so that's 10 decisions to 8 KO's, 6 of those KO's being at 140 and under
hmmmm yea those pain killers are making Floyd a mini Tyson
I've put in some ammendments about where those fights took place. So since he broke his hand against Carlos Hernandez, he has only had 1 KO in Nevada. As far as we know, the only fight he used Xylocaine for was the first Castillo fight shortly after he'd broken it against Hernandez. Since he's been on intensive hand therapy courses since, it's quite likely he no longer uses it. Regardless, the point is that it clearly doesn't make him a stronger puncher, you could argue it has the opposite effect based off the evidence.
