Ali, three-time heavyweight champion, was beaten by Larry Holmes in their match in Las Vegas on Thursday night. Ali was unable to come out for the 11th round. His longtime manager. Herbert Muhammad, said he has been telling the former champion to retire for the past six years. During the fight, Muhammad, sitting at ringside, signaled to trainer Angelo Dundee that Ali j shouldn't be allowed to continue. "He was defenseless," Muhammad said. "I stODDed the fight strictly because he was defenseless. I think he lost ' too much weight. He was dried out. He didn't sweat." Muhammad said Ali, who dropped from 254 pounds to 217 4 pounds for the bout, "reduced too fast because of his vanity. He wanted to look good, so he didn't drink enough water and didn't take his salt tablets." Demand lessens for tapes WASHINGTON ?
