Isn't weed an anaesthetic? Doesn't it numb pain?

Medical marijuana, and whatnot...

Hes a clubber, i don't think he did to cheat and using weed before a fight would actually be a bad thing. He may even still do it now( as well as many boxers) but im sure he cuts back when its time to train and focuses on the task at hand. He hangs with Dip set and Lil wayne so.........

I don't think he did it for medicinal purposes. I think he was just partying.

My response was to the folks who said that the rule is ******. The point is that if there is a drug, then it can be abused.

Some guys may (not saying he did) use weed as a painkiller or to reduce anxiety. Those are performance enhancing qualities.

In sum, athletes need to be clean of ALL drugs.

Caffiene is more impactful than weed.

Either way a boxer in that condition should be able to clear his system in a couple of weeks. I wouldn't want my boxers smoking weed months up to the fight either, but losing a win over it seems ridiculous to me.
