Comments Thread For: Mayweather's Adviser: "Floyd Does Not Use Xylocaine"

[DE100]

As Kizer explained it, fighters must, under penalty of perjury, sign a statement at the fight weigh ins discloosing what, if any, pain or other serious medication they have used or plan to use anytime between the weigh in and fight time.

“Mayweather has never disclosed any such information so, as far as we are concerned, this is not any kind of issue. I know the ardent Pacquiao fans talk a lot about but to us it's the same as the speculation about Pacquiao using any sort of drugs which comes from the Mayweather fans out there. Both of them have always tested clean in Nevada.”

Kizer said he could name other boxers who have asked permission to use aspirin, Lidocaine, cortisone and other “pain the****utic” medications.

I would love to know those names... of who have asked permission to use aspirin, Lidocaine, cortisone and other “pain the****utic” medications. Even Team Pac/Roach have never raised a issue about this its Pac fans.

"What this is is that people are always out there looking for reasons to take away from someone's accomplishment. "


hmmm...

Really??? they have the odacity to say this?

Yeah, why wouldn't they? At least some people are willing to prove themselves.

[Suckmedry]

Ugh...doesn't matter anyway cause it isn't banned.

Nonetheless this will be a 30 page thread

[Ray*]

The dude is on video saying he uses the ****.

It's not like your not allowed to use it what-so-ever, so why even care?

Exactly!!! Mayweather was on video saying he uses it, So why come out now and say he never used it? Its not like the drug is a ban drug..

During a recent conference call with the press, Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s adviser Leonard Ellerbe lashed out at the circulated rumors pertaining to Floyd's alleged use of the drug Xylocaine. There have been rumors circulating for months that Mayweather was using the drug to the numb any possible pain in his hands. Mayweather has been plagued with hand pain for several years. According to Ellerbe, Mayweather has not expereinced any hand problems in his last couple of fights. [Click Here To Read More]

He doesn't injure his hands since he trains with a professional hand wrapper, according to him...maybe it has also something to do with the no combo style...just pot shot.

[Carpe Diem]

*******s are gonna love this thread.

[shekwan]

Ummm...Ellerbe should just say he hasn't been using for last couple fights (if he hasn't), because clearly in this HBO spread it says he used it in past.

[And Still]

This was obvious to anyone that doesn't have beady eyes.

[2501]

Damn, the Mayweather camp is treating Xylocaine as if it was a steroid or something.

[S.G.]

If he's lying I don't really see the point considering that it's legal. I guess this denial is for the casual fans who were uninformed enough to buy into those rumours in the first place though.
