It was a match in 1977, part of the festivals in the Miami waters, Florida. The challenge was Michael Dokes, an emerging boxer at the age of 19. And on the other side of the battle line is the legendary boxing Muhammad Ali, 35 years old and somewhat “general”.
Before the match, Michael Dokes was quite confident and let go of the challenge: “Come here, the old Ali. You are out of time and I will help you move and help you wake up if you lie on the floor.”

And indeed, Muhammad Ali has turned himself into a true old man. The champion of the Olympics entered the match with a drowsy manner, the same “offer” offering. Ali did not bother to look at Dokes's face when he first entered the battle, and pointed to his fist like a “wind blow” towards the opponent.
Just like that, Muhammad Ali played the “cat and mouse” game. He did not bother to attack, just moved around the fighting floor and challenged the opponent only as half of his age: “Wow, someone is very big.
The culmination of more than 1 minute before the end of the first half, Ali was backed in a corner and began to avoid all Dokes punches at a speed and amazing agility. In a period of 10 seconds, he dodged 21 punches and then moved away from the corner with a scandal, mocking Dokes with a small dance.
The two matches later were not noticeable, when Muhammad Ali “punched and played”, while Michael Dokes seemed to be bored with the joke of seniors. The match ended without determining the victory. However, the situation of Ali avoided the blow became an unforgettable anecdote. It has been edited and added the music “U Can'T Touch this” (unable to touch) of MC Hammer.

Muhammad Ali is American boxing legend, who has won the heavy championship 3 times and once won the medium Olympic gold medal. In 1999, Ali was honored by Sports Illustrated and BBC sports magazine as “athletes of the century”. He died in 2016, aged 74.
Ali used to go to jail for refusing to join the army to participate in the war in Vietnam. He publicly defamed and refused to enter the US army, based on his religious beliefs and protested against the Vietnam War – “I have no argument with the Viet Cong … No Viet Cong calls me all black”; “Why do I have to go 10 thousand miles to release bombs on the heads of innocent Vietnamese while in the US and black people were treated badly …” were his famous sayings at that time.
Even when the wars against the war has not spread, he used the phrase “Vietnam War” to clarify his opposition and propagate to the younger generation.
