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
Emanuel Augustus - TKO
Diego Corrales - TKO
Carlos Hernandez - UD
Jesus Chavez - TKO
Jose Luis Castillo - UD
Jose Luis Castillo II - UD
Victoriano Sosa - UD
Phillip N'dou - TKO
DeMarcus Corley - UD
Henry Bruseles - TKO
Arturo Gatti - TKO
Sharmba Mitchell - TKO
Zab Judah - UD
Carlos Baldomir - UD
Oscar De La Hoya - SD
Ricky Hatton - TKO
Juan Manuel Marquez - UD
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![]()

There are other things you can use to numb your hands that are legal everywhere. The thing Floyd tok is just the most effective. And like people already said, it's legal in Vegas so this is a nonissue desperately dredged up by the Pacneedle camp to deflect attention from their guy refusing random drug testing.

I'm fully aware of the differences. Again, xylocaine is legal in the state of Nevada but illegal in other states. But my point is about the rules and regulations.
NSAC has a rule and your stuck with it. If you follow some rules you like then great. But if you don't like the other rules then petition for it to be change. But unless its change everyone should abide by the rule of the sanctioning body.
Xylocaine or Lidocaine is both anesthetic and stimulant/psychoactive drugs which induce temporary improvements in either mental or physical function or both. Examples of these kinds of effects may include enhanced alertness, wakefulness, and locomotion, among others.
Cocaine and Lidocaine have similar psychological euphorigenic effects after intranasal application. Lidocaine is often used as additive to cocaine to form "crack".
It may not make Floyd mini Tyson but it can provide him advantage over a non-using opponent.

Pac who has never had history of illegal substance use, refused special drug test, everyone acted as if he indeed is doping, while Floyd exposed to have advertently used "crack substitute" everyone acted like it's no big deal. I guess that's what Floyd meant when he said "level playing field" "sportsmanship at the highest level"![]()

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.
