Can't touch this!
This clip is from a 1977 exhibition match between the then-35-year-old and fellow American boxer Michael Dokes. Ali is backed into a corner before he starts dodging all of Doakes’ punches with remarkable speed and agility. Ali dodges the relentless barrage of 21 punches over the course of 10 seconds, in an epic enactment of his quote “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”.
