Why is everyone hating on Floyd?

That's what i've been trying to figure out! He's the best fighter out there right now. You don't have to like his personality or some of his antics outside the ring, but we're talking about in the ring. Give me one fighter in boxing right now that is more skillful, has more ring savvy, is as quick, and had dominated more world class opponents than Floyd. I agree that there are still some good fights out there for Floyd, like Paul Williams, Antonio Margarito, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto and Mega fights like Shane Mosley and Oscar De la Hoya, but let's not be blind to what the man has already done in his career. Personally, i would like to see him fight Margarito next because everyone says Floyd is afraid of him and is his biggest threat. I wonder what all the haters will say when he dominates Margarito(sorry folks. way too slow for Floyd) like he did Baldomir? I see a Mayweather-Margarito fight going much like Roy Jones-Julio Gonzalez, the more skillful fighter dominating with speed, technique, and ring smarts against the bigger, slower fighter. Hate him or love him, but if you deny his talents or that he's the best right now, then you are not keeping it real!

he doesn't sing, he barely writes, and he ruins perfectly good tears for fears songs.\n\nand every song starts with, "to all my people....."\nit really gets annoying.

I can't say either, because After Waters left the guys struggled to right lyrics.  I am more of a fan of Gilmour because of his obscene guitar solos, but they both had a huge impact on the music.  They both had an impact on the Waters leaving, but I look at more of being Roger's fault.  Go read the April Issue of Guitar World, has interviews from both of them and from one of their producers, great read

I love and respect him, he tells it like it is, and he doesn't care what others think about him. People fear the unknown and people who are different, that's why most dislike him. And i dont understand why people don't like goths? They like the style and we shouldn't use the name "goths" do classify people who like black and chains and stuff. Maybe we should classify peeps who like the color orange and like donkeys!

He's hated because he's arrogant and lacks basic respect for constitutional principles, witness the phone spying controversy, or the fact that he lied the American people into a war we never had to fight, and Americans are dying because of it. This from a guy who used the National Guard to dodge the draft, and then didn't show up for the Guard. I'm a Army/Navy veteran 1971-73/1979-1991. Let his wife worry about his looks I'm worried about our Democracy.

Some things I agree on, others I disagree. Other than that, I don't really care. People in power can try to please everyone, but that rarely works. Plus, I don't think he's that bad. Blame the media for all the negative news since its usually "the juicy stuff is the bad news".

YES I DO\nBut, i am not talking for Pink Floyd without Syd Barrett.....even tough i must admit that 90% of Pink Floyd fans are fascinated from Dark Side Of The Moon or The Wall\nWell me not \nI think that the band without Barrett is like a fish in a fresh air., they can't breathe without him.He has the power and secret special magic who was moving them up and up and sudenly when he was gone they started to fall down...\nEvidence for that is their tribute "Wish You Were Here" dedicated for Syd....\nEven today (last summer) at live 8 Gilmour sad "This song is for everyone who are not here specialy for you SYD...."\nWhen we talk about The Wall i may right say that the album for me is one thing that shoes Gilmours BAD and Suffering childhood and his complexes of it.... ---not even close to good.\nDark side of the moon, well i think is very psychadelic like the meddle or atom heart mother \nBut not qute (not close at all ) close to the PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN and SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS Who are unique and a piece of music who will never ever die and will always remain ......\nSYD BARRETT IS THE SOUL OF THE WHOLE BAND \nNO ONE WILL EVER REPLACE HIM.....

Really bad? Let's just say that he has confronted a lot of obstacles, pains, and sufferings. He uses his music to express it. Every single person has a good side and good part in them, whether or not they'd like to acknowledge it.

I would like to see Hatton earn another quality win before I believe he can compete with Floyd.  The Collazo fight lowered Hatton's stock a bit.  If he can beat another good 147 lb fighter in the top 5 than I say give him a shot otherwise I haven't seen any thing that makes me think he can compete with Mayweather.

It really amuses and fascinates me to see people have such blind hatred for someone that don't even know. I'm not here to argue if Bonds is better then Ruth or why people want him to break the record(I'm pretty sure the only people who like him are Giants fans). I just don't think we should all judge him so quickly and harshly. I mean when you take away the bat and uniform he's just a hard working father of 3 kids. I don't agree with a lot of the choices he's made(roids), we all make mistakes, but people are ignorant to think he's the only one in baseball to have done them. And if he's not the only one to have done them the why is he the only one being thrown under the bus.  \nI'm not saying he doesn't deserve some of this scrutiny...I am saying he doesn't deserve nearly as much as we(public/media/MLB) are giving him.

i'd have to give the nod to pretty boy floyd. his combanation of speed and the added power cannot be matched at this time. look at his destruction of got-ti, and he hurt his right hand in the baldomir fight. i even give him the win against golden boy in may. floyd has no competition. the only thing that can beat floyd is floyd

Last time the original Pink Floyd showed up together was in Live8.\nIf you're talking about the original Pink Floyd, they will never show up again together because when Roger Waters said he doesn't mind to reunite for a tour, David Gilmour said "no chance". They had lots of quarrels during The Final Cut album. Later David Gilmour took the name Pink Floyd and released 2 albums and that's all. He has a solo album now.\n\nAnyway, in answer to your question, the problem is MTV. The new generations are listening only to what MTV is telling them to listen to, and don't expect them to indulge into an album like The Wall and understand it. Plus, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin's members are like grandparents to the new generation targeted by MTV.\n\nOnly those who care about good lyrics and good music will keep listening to Floyd and Zeppelin.

You Know ~\n                    In my opinion, Floyd will stick and move and overwhelm the much slower Baldomir with his speed, this is why he was hand picked, it's not that Carlos is the best in his division, it's because he's slow and really doesn't have a punch, everyone wants to say "He has a chin of granite" maybe so, but wouldn't it look good on Floyd's padded record to be able to stop Baldomir?\n                  Uncle Roger being in Jail for hitting a woman won't faze Floyd, he loves to beat woman and understands that going to jail goes hand in hand with punching, kicking and pulling woman's hair out of their heads. The Mayweathers are indeed class acts.\n                  Floyd has no "Champion Heart" a "Champion" fights the very best of his/her division. A "Champion Heart" doesn't turn down six million dollars more to fight a worthy opponent. A "Champion Heart" A "Champions Heart" doesn't conduct himself/herself in a negative manner outside of the ring.\n                 I asked the Boxing Gods for a favor, that Carlos knocks Floyd on his backside and if they couldn't do this for me then let Carlos give Floyd the beating he so desperately deserves and if none of these two things can be granted then let the best MAN win, if this is the case Baldomir wins.
