Should Floyd be allowed to use xylocaine for his hands?

[killersheep]

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.

The point of this thread we agree on. That the NSAC should ban Xylocaine, but Floyd is not doing anything wrong, until that happens.

Good to know that we can agree on something (I think this is just the 2nd time after disagreeing with each other for more times than I can count with my fingers and toes, and I have extra fingers and toes ..... just kidding with you, mate.).
