    This. A marketable story about an unsavoury character.

    He was an excellent fighter in his prime, which obviously wasn't around the time leading up to his jail sentence. A tremendous puncher, with underrated technical boxing skills. If anything he's held in far less esteem today due to that nonsensical film.

    No it didn't...as a matter of fact it played a huge emphasis on that in order to make the fact that he was arrested and sentenced to prison so impossible to escape from because of the jury's belief that once a crook always a crook.
