Who Do I Share A Birthday With? Quiz

Answer: Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali, born Cassius Clay, fought and beat Joe Frazier decisively with a 12th round TKO the third and final time they met. Ali is a truly independent and expressive Capricorn who resisted serving in Viet Nam on religious grounds. He was a true showman in the ring, eloquent yet brutal. The "Thrilla in Manila" vs. Joe Frazier proved to be a bitter match that was probably the most famous victory of the three bouts they had.

Laila Ali and Marvis Frazier, children of the two fighters, also box. "Smokin' Joe" Frazier's daughters, Ronetta and Natasha, have sworn that January 17th is wrong and that their father was born on January 12th.

"Smokin' Joe: The autobiography" MacMillan, NY 1996, p.2, also gives January 12, 1944.
'The Secret Language of Birthdays' (Gary Goldschneider, Joost Elffers, Penguin Books 1994) gives the date of January 17th.

I am not going to argue with the daughters of Smokin' Joe Frazier, so January 12th it is!

Maybe that was due to the managerial skill of his more conservative brother, George.
