    BHop spoke to the press after the Golovkin-Lemieux fight. He says the quote (or approximate quote) in the title of this thread at approximately 2:55 or so into this video that was taken on site after the bout:

    Hopkins also said (right before the quote in the title) that the middleweight division is in good hands.

    It's very rare you see a puncher blessed with the boxing IQ and skills GGG has. The only guy I see having a good chance of beating GGG is ward which is saying a lot because that's a guy 1 division up and is a great boxer himself.

    It's a great point.

    Later on in that same video interview, Hopkins referred to GGG as a "sniper." That was a respect to the skill level GGG has, where he just picked Lemieux apart as you mentioned.

    I was very impressed tonight. I thought GGG would win, but not in such an easy fashion. But his skills dominated.

    Golovkin is, by far, the best middleweight in the world today................he will unify the middleweight titles..................Golovkin is a huge draw, really exciting fighter, SOB Ward is a cheater, let him stay in his home town and fight more bums or go to his natural weight and fight Stevenson, Kovalev, Beterbiev, etc., but SOB will not do that................

    Hopkins is no one's biotch. He speaks and thinks for himself. That's one great thing about him.
