10:02 AM ET 10.15 | "I've only spoken to Hopkins two or three times," George Foreman said, "but I like him. He's not afraid." Foreman being asked to speak about Hopkins was only natural because, on May 21, Hopkins beat Jean Pascal in Montreal to become a world light heavyweight champion. He was 46 years, 4 months and 6 days old, the oldest ever to hold a pro boxing title. When Foreman won his last heavyweight title, beating Michael Moorer in Las Vegas in 1994, he had become the oldest, at 45 years and 10 months. "I was rooting for him," Foreman said. "I'm happy the bar has been raised. I always said I'll fight till I get enough money, not till I get enough whupping." Foreman said he is rooting for Hopkins to keep fighting. "You might as well," Foreman said. "There's not gonna be any Social Security left."

If your a world champion boxer we know your paydays should make you ineligible because if you don't have enough money already toward retirement then you got bigger problems than anyone can handle.

So Foreman paid into the system but he should not be allowed to draw anything out? If so, stop calling it Social Security and just call it another tax and welfare program.
