Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on March 05, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Billy! Another year older and still packing a punch—though rumor has it your candles now tap out before you do. From winning the WBA Welterweight Championship to inspiring Canastota as home of boxing's greatest legends, you've always been our hometown hero.

Thanks for putting Canastota on the map (and in every GPS). Your legacy is timeless; unlike those birthday punches you're dodging today. Keep bobbing and weaving through life with style—we're all cheering ringside for another knockout year ahead!
