      they touched gloves an awful lot, IIRC


      he ate all of canelo's bombs, and we know that he can punch.
      cotto
      oscar
      vargas

      all could punch.
      He's never been hard to hit. After early-mid 00's he became very easy to hit. And I can count on my fingers how many times he's been badly hurt or even hurt in general.

      The guy said Canelo's not even a hard puncher His chin is so accustomed to bombs that he thinks Mayweather and Canelo have the same power which surely just can't be the case.

        Here's a good one;

        Xylocaine is banned everywhere other than Vegas.

        Whoever made that up literally pulled it out of no where.

        And you see some many people say that on here

            As far I know.

            Never seen any actual evidence for it and no one has been able to provide me any.

              canelo was also not punching anywhere near as hard then, as he is now

              and it's funny, mayweather was alot more powerful when he'd only fight once a year yet stay in fighting shape all year round, now he's reverted to his days at welterweight before his retirement, less time to sniff glue and old age i guess

                Never thought about it, looked it up.

                According to this, and I can't vouch for the source or anything, xylocaine is perfectly legal.

                  I think it's illegal in some states, but very few.

                  The whole "It's only legal in Vegas" came from a fanblog that some fan wrote. Literally that is what it came from. It's probably still possible to find on the net somewhere. Other than that fanblog, there is nothing else to suggest that.

                  Everyone seemed to run with it. Crazy.
