Valuev reached Barrett on his mobile phone this morning and told him through a translator that he wished him a quick recovery and good luck in the future. The translator said that Barrett seemed "touched" by Valuev's call, and he told the translator to tell Valuev that he was in the best shape of his life, so this means he passed a true test on Saturday night.

Wow, thats something you rarely see nowadays. This Valuev's a pretty ok guy
yeh bro i tottally agree after reading that
thats the great thing about boxing and boxers... i think its prob like for every ten arrogant idiot cats in the boxing game you get one gentleman...
i love to see a guy be a gent and show some compassion for a fighter and be cool at the end of a fight , shake the kids hand etc... now thats pure gent after youve had a bashup you dont find it nowhere but boxing and few other contact sports... god lad!
peace
