Best Answer

Age and the effects of years in the ring finally caught up with Muhammad Ali leading to a retirement in 1978 after regaining the Heavyweight title from Leon Spinks.

Ali came out of retirement to fight Larry Holmes (a former sparring partner) in an illadvised and tragic 1980 bout. Holmes completely dominated the former champ through ten rounds, seeming to go easy on Ali out of respect for his past employer, until Angleo Dundee - Ali's trainer and corner man - stopped the fight in the tenth.

Ali fought once more before finally laying aside the gloves in 1981
