Whittaker has fought 23 times and only lost once since 2001, a majority decision to Troy Rowland in April of 2004.

the ibf's random select eliminators always make me laugh. barthelemy is a 39 year old who has fought twice since his 6 year retirement and whitaker is a 37 year old who has been fighting bums in the caymon islands. you can't make this stuff up!

The IBF would be embarrassed about this if it had the capacity to be embarrassed about anything. Barthelemy has won five of his last 12 fights, and he's actually the higher ranked of the two on boxrec. Amazing even for a sport loaded with crappy eliminators an title fights

thankfully this is only for the #2 spot. the #1 spot will be reserved for some dude making his pro debut.
