Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on January 12, 1944)

Happy birthday to the legendary Joe Frazier! Your unforgettable trilogy with Muhammad Ali—the electrifying battles known as "The Fight of the Century," "Super Fight II," and, of course, the mighty "Thrilla in Manila"—set an iconic standard for boxing. You challenged champs, traded punches with grace and grit, and forged a legacy admired by generations.

Every jab you threw had passion; every hook showed your uncompromising courage. With that relentless left hook and spirited determination inside the ring, you've become timelessly inspiring outside it. So cheers today to Smokin' Joe—may your special day pack as much punch as those memorable title matches against Ali did!
