Happy Birthday, Chuck Wepner! The man who inspired Rocky Balboa himself—though we're still waiting for Stallone to admit you had better moves. Your legendary 15-round battle against Muhammad Ali in '75 proved that even the toughest fighters can have hearts bigger than their bruises.With a career record of 35-14-2, you've shown us all how to roll with life's punches and keep swinging back. Here's hoping your birthday celebration lasts longer than those unforgettable rounds in the ring—and may your cake be easier to handle than Ali's jab!
Keep punching strong, Champ—you're forever our real-life Rocky!
