Muhammad Ali vs. Larry Holmes
Las Vegas | Oct. 2, 1980


What a sad sight it was. Ali, despite looking spent two years earlier against Leon Spinks, made a comeback and even convinced Sports Illustrated he'd beat his former sparring partner to win the title for a fourth time. Ali barely mustered a punch as Holmes methodically beat the crap out of him. At one point in the 10th round, Ali was helpless, but Holmes couldn't bring himself to take advantage. Ali didn't come out for the next round, marking his only defeat by knockout. Incredibly, this was not his last fight. KOby11.
