Best Answer

His official record shows he lost a total of 5 fights during his career.

1971-03-08 to Joe Frazier by Unanimous Decision

1973-03-31 to Ken Norton by Split Decision

1978-02-15 to Leon Spinks by Split Decision

1980-10-02 to Larry Holmes by TKO

1981-12-11 to Trevor Berbick by Unanimous Decision

Depending on how you count the TKO he either was first knocked out by Larry Holmes or was never knocked out. At the end of the tenth round, Ali's trainer, Angelo Dundee, stopped the fight. It was Ali's only loss without "going the distance" for a judges' decision. Ali was taking something of a pounding from the younger, more energetic Holmes but was probably not in much danger of actually being KO'd. Because the trainer stopped the fight ("Corner Stoppage", aka "throwing in the towel"), Holmes was awarded credit for a TKO.
