Mayweather's drug history caught up with him http://www.8countnews.com/news/125/ARTICLE/2212/2010-01-09.html During the initial phase of the now aborted Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight, Bob Arum initially wanted the fight to be held at the new Dallas Cowboys This content is protected Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Golden Boys second chief Richard Scahefer scoffed the idea, saying Mayweather does not like because it is an outdoor stadium. But with the recent development of things, some little details broke the surface may probably be the biggest reason why Mayweather never wanted the Dallas Cowboys Stadium to host the fight he was using a widely-banned illegal substance. The irony is that such drug is legal in, coincidentally, the state of Nevada. In an article written by Frank Gonzales in April 21, 2002, it is revealed that Floyd Mayweather This content is protected has been using a painkiller called Xylocaine to treat the pain caused by his brittle hands, which have been injured numerous times in the past. However, Xylocaine is proven to enhance a boxers performance. It effectively numbs the boxers hands, making it less susceptible to pain caused by punching constantly. With the pain efficiently blocked out, Xylocaine, in effect, enables the boxer to throw more powerful shots. If that is the case, then Mayweather may not have been fighting on a leveled playing field in some of his fights. And to call Pacquiao a steroids user when in fact he has a history of using a widely-banned drug not only tarnishes his reputation as a boxer, but also brings his legacy to a pool of mud. Soaked and dirtied, there is no way Mayweather can clean this one. The karmic boomerang does hurt. ============================================================= ============================================================= Proof that floyd is injecting drugs prior to his fights... listen @ 1:40 mark [yt]AAIQBcpHpSs[/yt] WOW! now we know why floyd doesn't want to fight in texas coz he can't cheat. :-( Xylocaine = PED However, Xylocaine is proven to enhance a boxers performance. It effectively numbs the boxers hands, making it less susceptible to pain caused by punching constantly. With the pain efficiently blocked out, Xylocaine, in effect, enables the boxer to throw more powerful shots.

Excellent point. Plus, Void has not shown one ounce of proof that Pac is a druggie. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8395732.stm <snip> A urine test that can differentiate between dangerous and safe snoring is possible, say researchers at the University of Chicago. They looked at 90 children referred to a clinic to be evaluated for breathing problems in sleep, and 30 controls. A number of proteins were increased in the urine of the children diagnosed with dangerous snoring. The research is published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. The team say their findings need to be repeated but may lead to a simple test. Sleep tests The children all had standard overnight tests and some were classified as having obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). ..........more
funny how it enhances "power" punches but that is not the kind of fighter Mayweather is. He isn't a KO artist...he outclasses and outboxes people..he has broken his hand many times...thread fail
I think Floyd should call for racing authority type testing where no drugs are allowed including lignocaine ,or even any injectable vitamins.After all Floyd was claiming he was after world best practice ,was he not.
He uses a pain killer whilst training because he has fragile hands, OMG CALL THE COPS. Nothing is wrong with that, infact Nevada commission allows the use of it, but not on fight night.
and if this article is even true than this so called "drug" he takes will come up in the blood tests that he WILL BE TAKING TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Funny how if he uses drugs and it enhances his ability, then why is he is so willing to undertake these blood test while Pacquiao is not!!!!!!!!!
Pacquiao didn't want to fight in Texas either..both fighters didn't want to pay taxes...do any of you guys actually read credible boxing sites and not just go to lame ass sites!!!!!!
LMAO at least get yoru facts straight before posting. Texas has no state income tax. The only side that didn't want it in Texas was PBF.
