Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on August 31, 1945)

Happy Birthday to Earnie Shavers, the legendary heavyweight whose punches were so powerful they could knock out gravity itself! Ranked #10 among The Ring's 100 greatest punchers of all time, your fists have earned a permanent spot in boxing history. Rumor has it opponents still duck when someone whispers "Earnie's coming!"

From becoming United States Amateur Heavyweight Champion to delivering unforgettable bouts against legends like Muhammad Ali and Larry Holmes, you've always packed dynamite into every swing. May your birthday be filled with laughter—and may no one dare challenge you for that last slice of cake today!
