Floyd Mayweather has hands full as focus falls on pain-relief drug
Floyd Mayweather’s suspect hands are viewed as such a potential weakness by Ricky Hatton’s camp that they have requested that he be banned from using the anaesthetic, lidocaine.
In the long build-up to tonight’s bout, Mayweather has repeatedly denied that his hands might cause him a problem. However, the Mayweathers are unhappy that lidocaine has been specifically identified as a drug that cannot be used.Comment

That's wassup Killa...right on.....
I have copy/pasted a paragraph from that article that some might find interesting....
At the bout organisational meeting run by NSAC on Wednesday morning, Gareth Williams, Hatton’s lawyer, asked Keith Kizer, the NSAC executive director, if lidocaine would be tested for.
“We’d all seen the stories about Mayweather’s hands and we had heard rumours that he uses lidocaine,” Williams said. “So we just wanted to make sure that they complied with the rules and that it would be tested for.”
The request did not go down well with John Hornewer, Mayweather’s attorney. Williams said: “He responded by saying: ‘Well, what about grappling?’ I quite facetiously responded: ‘I didn’t think you could test for that.’” Kizer confirmed yesterday that lidocaine is banned for use by boxers within a week of a bout. “If lidocaine is injected,” he said, “the pain receptors in the boxer may not work and he may not know if he is hurt.” He also confirmed that lidocaine would be tested for after the bout, at the Quest Diagnostics laboratory in the city.Comment
