    75: The 5th Franchise: Kronk Gym

    19-0. Never been knocked down, and he’s just getting started.   Deontae Pettigrew is Kronk Gym’s new heavyweight, and he’s not here to borrow the legacy. He’s here to add to it. He was a bodyguard who didn’t start boxing until 28. He just finished a man in round two in Argentina, and he’s grateful for every bit of it: “Forget if they’re happy to have me. I’m happy to be here.”   Paul Bhatti bought a brand that had flatlined. Now he’s building Kronk bigger than it ever was. The 5th franchise is back.   Recorded: 10.21.26 Timestamps 01:23 Pettigrew on Joining Kronk Legacy 11:10 Paul Bhatti on Pettigrew’s Character 12:14 Swimming, Discipline and Longevity 19:08 Kronk Brand Growth and Metrics 23:23 Next Fight in Rockford and Gratitude 25:47 Heavyweight Division Landscape and Ambitions 30:29 Rising Heavyweights and Opportunities 37:08 Gym Growth and Documentary 45:00 GOAT List: The Heavyweight Mount Rushmore Guest Links Deontae Pettigrew - October 31, 2026 Match Hard Rock Cafe & Casino Streaming Link: https://bxngtv.com/   https://kronk.com/?srsltid=AU7gw4UfBy-hjSm_fQ21muxEnuxBG9fr9fyHkw3k-BWEqJxGypQAw3s8 https://www.facebook.com/realkronkgym/ https://www.instagram.com/realkronkgym/ https://www.youtube.com/@realkronkgym1 https://www.linkedin.com/company/realkronkgym/home/ https://www.tiktok.com/@realkronkgym1 https://x.com/realkronkgym?lang=en Hours: 5:00 am - 8:00 pm Location: 670 Wilkins St Suite 200, Detroit, MI 48201   GOATQUEST is your ultimate platform to dive into the age-old debate: Who is the Greatest of All Time?

    71: GOATS Among Us

    One question. One rule. Still playing.   Joe Willie and Tom Beer run the whole board, every sport, every active player, and ask the only question that matters right now: Is there a GOAT among us?   🐐 Katie Ledecky. Simone Biles. Mikaela Shiffrin. The names that don't need a debate. Then it gets complicated. 🐐 Ovechkin broke Gretzky's record. Does that make him the greatest goal scorer ever? Joe says no. Tom says yes. They argue it out. 🐐 Ohtani is on pace to pass Lou Gehrig in home runs, potentially Willie Mays, maybe even Babe Ruth. The numbers say it's possible. The position says otherwise. 🐐 Mahomes has 3 rings, a better completion percentage than Brady, a higher passer rating than Brady, and is 3X behind him in everything else. Tom Beer does the math and lands where nobody wanted to land. 🐐 LeBron goes to Philly for $52 million less than he could make. Two more seasons. Can he pass Jordan? Tom Beer says impossible and doesn't budge. Joe agrees but leaves a crack in the door.   Goats among us. Let's get after it.   Recorded: 7/29/26 Timestamps 04:39 Soccer Stars 08:16 Evaluating Alex Ovechkin and Wayne Gretzky 14:31 The Versatility of Shohei Ohtani 21:01 Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady Legacy 30:13 The Basketball GOAT Debate 42:13 Rising Stars and Sports Chaos 47:30 Predicting Future GOAT Candidates   GOATQUEST is your ultimate platform to dive into the age-old debate: Who is the Greatest of All Time?
