    IMO, even with drawing Ike in round 1, Whitaker still makes it to the final. I'd likely be him vs. Ortiz imo. I don't think people appreciate how difficult a style Whitaker has to overcome. Put it this way, in Ike would Whitaker be facing something he's never seen or a style he's never had to work around? No he wouldn't. But if you reverse the question, I think the answer is undoubtedly yes, Ike wouldn't have a blueprint on how to fight Whitaker as much as the opposite would be true. That makes a world of difference in a one off fight, then when you combine Whitaker's southpaw stance and his ATG jab which can control most any fighter to a certain degree, he wins that fight imo.

    I was looking for Stevie Johnston. No (Lil But Bad) always makes me sad.
