Honestly...I think that what he's done has been an accomplishment no matter how one tries to tear down his record or wins. He's knocked out 33 or 34 of the 45 men that he's fought & that's no easy thing to accomplish.

I'll be impressed if he TKO's McCline in less than 10, it took Wlad that long, so let's see what happens.
The man (McCline) lost recently to Zuri Lawrence and has been taken the distance by Rob Calloway and Marcus Mcgee and you'll be impress with a victory over him? I consider Barrett to be a better fight than McCline. So I don't see how his competition has been improving.
Zuri Lawrence -HE just fought Calvin Brock and Sultan Ibragimov,and fought Ray Austin to a draw!

Rob Calloway -former WAA light heavyweight Champion
IBA Cruiserweight Champion
IBC SuperCruiserweight Champion
WBF Inter-Continental Heavyweight Champion
NABC Heavyweight Champion
PABA Heavyweight Champion
WBF Heavyweight Champion
WBE Heavyweight Champion
He has a current record of 60 -7-1 !

He beat Bob Mirovic (who just took Sinal Samil Sam 12 rounds),fought Ruslan Chagaev to a draw,and has been in with Audley Harrison & Hasim Rahman

Marcus Magee - He.......well..ok, well he's a bum (16-11) lol
but hes been in with Grant,Greenburg and Sultan so he'
Had his a** whooped by some guys we know!

My point is that these guys Valuev has, and is about to fight aren't all bums!
Jameel is a credible opponent
He's the current NABA and WBO holder (Remember the WBO is the belt Klitschko held in 2002,defended against Corrie Sanders and lost to Lamont Brewster!. Don't forget Jameel just challenged for the IBF belt (a legitemate trinket) in 2004.
HEY! Valuev isn't beating his chest like KING KONG and saying he's ready to take on the world,or even Klitschko,yet. BUT Jameel McCline is a VERY credible opponent and will help to prove....

VALUEV AIN'T NO JOKE!!
