    How is the birth of the pugilist known as “The Golden Boy” related to the Angolan National anthem?

    Question #109690. Asked by BRY2K. (Oct 11 09 12:12 PM)

    There are at least two "Golden Boy" boxers...but, I'm only finding a connection to Oscar De La Hoya:

    Art Aragon, the handsome boxer known as 'The Golden Boy,' who inspired thousands of women to join their husbands and beaus at Southern California arenas in the late '40s and '50s...

    Oscar De La Hoya (born February 4, 1973) — nicknamed "The Golden Boy."

    "The Golden Boy" refers to Oscar De La Hoya, who was born on February 4, 1973.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_De_La_Hoya

    The Angolan National anthem begins:

    "O Pátria, nunca mais esqueceremos
    Os heróis do quatro de Fevereio."(Portuguese)

    or

    "O Fatherland, we shall never forget
    The heroes of the Fourth of February,"

    referring to February 4, 1961, the beginning of organized armed resistance to Portuguese rule.
