Should Floyd be allowed to use xylocaine for his hands?

[InTheNeutralCorner]

True, xylocaine does not enhance a boxer's abilities. But the opponent, who did not use xylocaine, is capable of injuring his hands during the fight thus rendering them ineffective. Now, does that look like a level playing field?

The opponent has the option of using it though, he is not doing something his opponent is not allowed to do.

Like I said before, I would be fine with the NSAC banning Xylocaine, but I don't think Floyd should be singled out as not being allowed to use it.

I wasn't refering to luvfightgame's entire post but to a statement he made:
Also the argument that it's ok cause the other boxer could do it also is irrelevant. If a boxer is taking a PED that is not detectable in urine test, and only urine tests are required, both boxers could use the PED and then it would be a level playing field??
I find this to be a good response to your comment above.

I don't think anybody here even mentioned that xylocaine was a concern for the Pac's camp. My comments are in response to the general question in the title of this thread.
