He was the greatest of all time for a reason, you know.
This was just an exhibition from 1977, but it showed you all you needed to know about the boxing talent of Muhammad Ali. Ali, up against Michael Dokes, gets forced into a corner, but what happens next might be one of the most absurd moments in boxing history.
Dokes starts swinging, and Ali starts dodging... and dodging... and dodging.
In all, Dokes threw about 21 punches in 10 seconds. None of them connected. For his efforts, Ali gave Dokes a little shimmy afterwards to prove that he wasn't touched during the offensive attack. It kind of serves as proof of one thing: Ali was indeed a bad man.
RIP.
