Ian is 3 wins and 3 loses in the rivalry. He had big wins over Phelps in 2003 Barcelona, 2004 Long Beach, and 2005 Montreal. However Phelps got the big win in 2004 Athens to go along with wins at the 2005 World Championship Trials in Indy and the recent 2006 Nationals last August. We, unfortunately did not get to see a race at Pan Pacs. So it will come down to who is swimming better.
The comment above was from the 100 Fly thread before the World Championships. Ian Crocker is 3 wins and 4 loses now which means that Michael Phelps is 4 wins and 3 loses in the big championship races in the last 4 years.
