Aleks and Fedor are now part of a different era unfortunately. Much like James Toney, Roy Jones etc are part of another era. Sure they can get a big fight, beat average guys etc but they no longer belong at that special level or even a step below.
Remember seeing this over the weekend pretty sad really but Aleks has no one to blame but himself aside from having Hep (allegedly) he has been fighting cans for the last 5-6 years sure the Hep thing has influenced his careers path a bit but what does he expect after fighting such poor opposition. Seen this coming sadly especially after the Graham fight Aleks is done.
He has lived of his brothers name a bit but he has some good opposition on his resume like James Thompson before he was fighting for 10 bucks and Sergei Kharitonov
This. But let's be realistic. Aleks was a physical specimen who's brother just happened to be Fedor who fought in the deepest org in the world. That said Alek's think he's a boxer. Problem is he's not. Secondly his problems outside of the ring are well known. If he had a fraction of the discipline of his brother im sure his career would have turned out much better than fighting unknowns on a semi club circuit.
Yeah. He actually looked to be in good shape this time, but a shot like that can KO anybody. Lets be real here, it's not like his career was going anywhere due to his issues.
