Sorry, but if Valuev gets criticism for never having beaten anyone of great note....how the hell can you suggest that Barrett has beaten anyone better. They've both beaten Beck....but other than that there aren't any big names on Barrett's record either that he has beaten. If Barrett beats Valuev, it will prove that Valuev is not very good....but if Barrett wins the title then it just makes it an even more minority title. He's 31-4 for god's sake...and lost against Hasim Rahman. Not exactly a great pedigree there is it?
Valuev gets criticism for never having FOUGHT anyone good.

Barrett's competition DWARFS Valuev's: Wlad, Rahman, Mesi.....I mean the guy has only had 35 fights and he has fought better competition than Valuev

44 fights, Valuev has fought 2....2 legitimate fighters
