Another celeb is having a 40th birthday today. This one comes from the world of boxing. It's undefeated boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr's special day.
Dear readers, I would watch boxing as a kid and teenager. I really enjoyed Bonecrusher Smith and Marvelous Marvin Hagler. I cheered when Buster Douglas took down Mike Tyson. And I delighted seeing Muhammad Ali any time he came on the screen. I even remember watching one of his last fights as a little tyke on HBO at my Grandmama's house.
But boy do I hate Floyd Mayweather Jr!
It's not because of his uber-flashy ring-style or insane spending habits (the Champ is rumored to spend $2,000 a week on haircuts for himself!) No, what I don't like about him is his history of domestic violence. Yes, I know that Ali has been accused of the same issue. However, I didn't know all that when I was little. At 4 or 5, Ali was like real life Superman!

So, everytime Mayweather was scheduled to fight, I'd secretly wish upon wishes, that he'd lose. But the guy just kept winning and amassed an impressive 49-0 record with 26 knock-outs. And hey, who knows, maybe the guy has really done a 180 from his at home behaviors. I'm a very forgiving Madman, so here's wishing Pretty Boy a Happy 40!!!
Well, that's my look at 1977 for today.
Until tomorrow- Let's get ready to rummmmmm- Ooops, sorry- copyright.
