Viral: Muhammad Ali, who is regarded as "The Greatest," has left a lasting impact on boxing history. In his prime time, he held three belts as the World Heavyweight Champion and dominated the ring with an unrivaled intensity. But Ali's remarkable abilities persisted even after those golden years. This recently rediscovered video sums up his enduring influence in addition to attesting to his abilities.

The sensational video in question is from an exhibition fight between American boxer Michael Dokes and Ali in 1977. Under the title "Muhammad Ali Dodges 21 Punches in 10 Seconds (1977)," this captivating video provides a glimpse into Ali's extraordinary skills. The 35-year-old Ali defies expectations in a corner as time is running out. With lightning-fast reflexes and graceful speed, Ali sidesteps 21 punches from Dokes. This incredible achievement not only epitomizes his well-known quote, "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee," but it also highlights his capacity to age gracefully and project an unstoppable aura.

Even beyond his prime, Ali's unbeatable charm remained to enthrall followers. The footage that has surfaced again is a powerful reminder of his lasting influence and showcases his exceptional combination of talent and charisma.
