Was Muhammad Ali in the 1983 Olympic hall of fame?

You don't play boxing, BUT that was the sport Ali was in. He started boxing at the age of 12 in 1954, he won the Olympic Light Heavyweight Championship in 1960 in Rome and then turned Pro. He won the Heavyweight Championship of the World 3 times and retired for good at the end of 1981.

Who all did Muhammad Ali lose too?

I think Joe Frazier, Michael Spinks, and Larry Holmes, he had a couple of other losses too but I don't know against who. Joe Frazier is the most significant one, because when Frazier fought him, Ali was still relatively deadly as a fighter. If the Ali who fought Lison the first time was 100%, the one who fought Frazier, was 85%, BUT, Ali's ringcraft due to his experience, was 120%, whereas the inexperienced Cassius Clay who faced Liston was all reflexes, no "old warrior" cunning at all. To Frazier's credit, a worldwide ancient proverb is in order here;

From ancient to midieval times, all over the world, there was this proverb, a warning given to all young men who ever took up the sword;

"Beware of an old warrior my son; what they lack in youth, they more than make up for with the cunning of experience, and tricks they've picked up."

Indeed within Viking society for example, many 18 year old youths lost their lives against men in their 50's. True enough most boxers start losing their edge as they get older, but you have to remember that in boxing, damage accumulates with the years, and the body rapidly begins to lose many of its functions. Boxers generally age much faster, because between the brutal physical work, and the constant battering, its a vicious cycle of train, get beat up, train some more, take another beating, and even if a boxer wins, he loses, all those blows to the body and head take their toll.

With ancient and midieval warfare, you were dealing with bladed weaponry, and sharpened spears, if a man lived to be 50, that in and of itself was a feat, hence the reason why another version of the proverb goes;

"while young wolves may be ferocious, its the old ones, who are the most dangerous."

In fact in Spartan society, all military service ended at the age of 60; it was recognized by the ancient Spartans, that a physically fit man held on to much of his strength well into his 50's. Not all of it, but enough to cause you problems if its a "there is nothing you can do, that I haven't already seen" situation.

Again to Joe Frazier's credit, he knocked out somebody with more ring experience and cunning than him.

Ali retired four different times.........

The first time was 2/1/1970. He had been suspended for not going to Vietnam but announced his retirement at that time so Joe Frazier and Jimmy Ellis could fight for the legitimate HW title.

The second time was several months following his regaining of the title vs Leon Spinks on June 27, 1979.

In 1980, he made an attempt at becoming HW Champion for the fourth time vs Larry Holmes, WBC Champion on 10/2/1980 but his corner would not allow him to come out after the 10th round(the only time Ali was 'stopped', called an 'RTD' but recorded as a TKO)

In December 11, 1981, he made one more comeback vs future champion Trevor Berbick (most remembered for his KO loss to Tyson years later). Ali was not competitive and retired for the final time.

He was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1984.
