Same with cloning Babe Ruth, Einstein, or Mother Teresa. Having the same physical body does not automatically mean they will become the same person. Look at a pair of identical twins, for instance. Very, very, similar, but not the same.

Question for people who know baseball: If Babe Ruth was alive today, how would he fair in comparison to modern baseball players? In most sports, the finest player from is era would be hopelessly outclassed today. Admittedly, though, this is more to do with training than genetics.

Now, if we could arrange a fight between Cassius Clay and Muhammed Ali, that would be a good use of cloning.
