"Mayweather knows and I got to give him credit for trying to get the most money against the smaller guys. It's our job and we have to agree at Golden Boy and we do agree, at least right now, that we have to be the counter puncher of what Mayweather wants to do in the future, which is fight the smallest guy out there."- Benard Hopkins
