...Philadelphia's Cloverlay Gym in his Smokin' Joe T shirt, he seems to be in constant motion. Inside the ring he dodges imaginary blows; he launches lefts and rights at the air, then spars for four hard rounds. Next Frazier pounds the bags as if hoping to shred them. The workout ends with 20 sit-ups and a beating around the gut with the medicine ball that brings a roar from the mixed crowd of fighters, trainers and well-dressed onlookers who drop in for the free show. Before they can press round Frazier, he is whisked away...

He watches people burn themselves out in struggles for self-preservation, escaping "meat-hook reality" through dope, booze...

Superfly TNT is at least a shred more believable. It shows some flashes of hard wit and has a good, coarse sense of the criminal trades.
