Muhammad Ali lost his title to Leon Spinks in 1978, but regained in later that year.
Muslims of Subcontinent gave this title to Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Quaid e Azam means Great Leader. Muhammad Ali Jinnah truly deserved this title.
as big of a mouth as ali had, he was actually a very gracious loser when beaten. if you mean getting stripped of his titles for not submitting to the draft, of course he was angry, and it just reinforced everything he was saying about the government at the time.
The title of Muhammad Ali's autobiography is "The Greatest: My Own Story."

his mentor Elijah Muhammad gave it him after he won the world title. had ali been defeated by liston, Elijah would have disowned him.
Ali had 35 titles fights, 26 for world titles and 9 with the North American Boxing Federation between 1970-1974.
ingemar johannson, crossing over from 1959 Floyd Patterson, who regained the title from ingo in 1960 Charles "sonny" liston, who twice knocked out Floyd in the first round (in '62 & '63). Cassius clay/Muhammad ali, from '64 till '67 when he was stripped for failure to submit to the draft. the title fractured from '65 to '67 when ernie terrell held the wba version of the title, till he met ali in a unification. after ali was stripped the title fractured again....jimmy Ellis won the wba title, and joe frazier won the wbc belt. they met to unify the title in 1970, when frazier won in the fifth, then joe beat a comebacking ali in '71 to cement his claim.
he never went to jail and he did win his title back
