Floyd Mayweather, Jr., The One Using Illegal Drug?

Shed some light! Long before the accusation of the Mayweathers to Pacquiao, that apparently, Manny uses steroids, Mayweather has been known using an illegal drug called, XYLOCAINE. This is now the talk of the town.  There is this article written and posted on the net on April 21, 2002, by Sharkie’s Machine, entitled, “Why Bother Fighting the Fights? Just ask the judges…”  XYLOCAINE IS KNOWN AS A DRUG BANNED IN THE OLYMPICS.

If this is true, surprisingly, and ironically, it was Floyd Mayweather, Jr. who has been known using the illegal drug and not Manny.

Highlighted from the said post, it reads, “Before the fight began, HBO’s Jim Lampley and George Foreman discussed hand injuries with references to Floyd’s recent hand problems. They said that Mayweather has been known to use hand-injected painkillers like Xylocaine, which is illegal in some states. Such painkillers could be more dangerous in the long term, since fighters with numbed hands hit harder since they cannot feel their hands at a time when they could be unknowingly damaging them..”

Another related article is written last January 7, 2010 by Examiner.com that reads, “It has come to light today that Floyd Mayweather has used injectable pain killers such as Xylocaine in the past before fights.  The irony being that this drug is illegal in nearly all states, with one notable exception, Nevada…After all the negotiating trouble and accusations about Manny Pacquiao and his supposed steroid use, it appears Mayweather is the one taking widely banned substances.”

So Pretty Boy Chicken is out. It’s Pacquiao – Clottey on March 13. I think it’s going to be a more exciting match than Mayweather.

anybody who knows anything about anything should do their homework, read articles about PEDS and then once they have the proper insight about said PEDS, then make an opinion. having typed this, i can honestly say that there is no hiding from drug tests. it is possible to cycle through steroids and other PEDS out of your body, but if an athlete agrees to unlimited urine tests, it would be hard to have steroids in your system and not be caught. i read an interesting article that stated human growth hormone, or HGH is ineffective without combining it with steroids. it does not have any advantage for endurance or muscle strength, only the physical appearance of lean muscle and recovery to injury. sports like football, baseball, etc. would benefit from HGH, but boxing there is no benefit on fight night. so the mayweather camp who is so adamant of testing on the night of the fight, is pointless to have such a demand for a fight against pacquiao. if manny was a drug user to enhance his performance, i would think that if his camp were to refuse any testing prior to any fight, whether it be a blood test, urine test, etc, would raise all sorts of red flags, speculation. only the blood testing is what he was opposed to. there are numerous articles circulating the web about urine testing that is capable of detecting PEDS, but the mayweather camp has supported only one organization, which has a protocal to test up to the day of the fight. which is why i believe mayweather camp wants a sizable advantage, knowing that pacquiao does not like having his blood drawn so close to fight night. answer me this: if you are going to give a physical/psychological advantage to an opponent, would you sign a contract? i don’t think so. if a fighter is going to come to the weigh-in over the agreed upon weight, and doesn’t seem to care about a six-figure penalty, would you make a demand for a heavier penalty provision against the heavier fighter? i think you would, to level the playing field. basically what it comes down to is, mayweather wanted all the advantages, leaving pacquaio with a 50/50 purse with really nothing else to do but sign, or walk away. i think he chose to walk away for the right reason, and he can because he is the pound for pound king right now. if mayweather beats mosley convincingly, and not just a split decision by boxing and running, then there could be a super fight in the near future. if it’s another boring fight, (the marquez fight was boring) then there will probably be another impasse for a showdown between the two best fighters in the sport. and that would be a low down dirty shame!

I read this article ” Mayweather and Xylocaine: Who’s Using Drugs Now? ” and I must say that the next Mayweather fight should be held in country that do not allow Xylocaine. Even thou it is legal in some country it still give him an advantage over his opponents due to this drug. Whatever the outcome of the fight I still say there is always doubt about his ability
