So with IronMike saying fight cards are now in testing I’m gonna assume it won’t be that far in the near future so I’m gonna keep my save till the update. At this stage now I’ll call it the half way point and I just fancied sharing what’s happened.
I’m currently deciding who’s the current GOAT cause I find it really hard to base it off the GOAT points as I believe some people have done way more and fought way better people but get ranked below, so I’m gonna post some fighters who’s in the discussion at the minute and get some opinions.

As it stand between the active fighters who could end up with a shout in this discussion eventually
Mikey Garcia 36-0(34) who is a 3 weight undisputed world champion aged 30. The man who ended the Stephen Fulton 39-0 run, also beating fellow unbeaten superstar Gary Russell Jr 22-0, and undefeated, undisputed 22-0-1 Champ from the weight below in Jiagui Li in back to back bouts.
Currently he’s very undersized at Super Lightweight at 5’4 but potential mega fights at Welterweight are on the horizon against Pound for Pound, 3 weight World Champion and current WBC, WBA Welterweight Title holder Juan Manuel Márquez (41-0) and IBF, WBO Welterweight Champion Armando Magramo (21-0) who has all his wins coming by knockout.
Also to keep an eye out on
Olympic Gold Medalist and Undisputed Light Heavyweight Champion Andre Ward 38-0-1 who’s resume of opponents are 2nd to none!
The WBA Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder 40-0 with 40 KNOCKOUTS! Fresh off his 1st title win in his 40th bout over the long reigning 42-1 champ Jermaine Franklin
3 weight World Champion Juan Manuel Márquez (41-0) who as I said looks like he could well be having that massive showdown with Mikey Garcia which will for sure determine the fighter of this generation, with the winner most likely riding off into the sunset with their unbeaten record and a place in this discussion guaranteed.
