In a new episode of Connected with Jason Whitlock, “The Greatest on the Greatest”, the FOXSports.com national columnist is joined by two of the most prominent African-Americans in sports history—MLB home run king Barry Bonds and NFL legend Jim Brown—to celebrate Black History Month and take a look back at Ali’s life and career. Also joining Whitlock to discuss Ali are former Buccaneers defensive lineman Warren Sapp, former NBA player John Salley, UC Berkeley professor Dr. Harry Edwards and hall-of-fame sportswriter Jerry Izenberg. The hour-long special debuts this week on FOX Sports regional networks around the country. The show is also available on FOXSports.com. Shot at Caesars Palace Las Vegas and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Whitlock moderates the discussion with his guests inside the original boxing ring where Ali lost to Larry Holmes in their 1980 heavyweight bout, the penultimate fight of Ali’s career. Guests discuss memories of Ali, his burden on younger athletes, his polarizing ways, the hard work he combined with his natural ability and how Ali would be regarded if he were fighting today.
