James J. Braddock - Guestbook

Amazing Man!
My thanks goes out to Ron Howard for telling me about a fantastic piece of history I was not aware of and this website (webmaster) for filling me in further.
This man's life is the kind of "family values" example we need in this country. I will strive be as good a parent and person as he.

I just watched Cinderella man and as much as I wanted to dislike Russell Crowe he did a great job of playing James Braddock in this movie. But I reserve my praise for a man who must have been a wonderful inspiration to everyone he touched, James Braddock.
May his lesson of love live on!

Just saw the movie and had to learn more about this larger than life personality. I was very happy to see it all ended up more or less happy and successful for him and his family. They don't make 'em like they used to, do they?

I have just watched cinderella man, a great movie about a guy that inspires all. It has really moved me and I'd love to be half the man Jim Braddock was.
Truly a great man!

Thanks for using this website to inform the world more about a special human who lived in a very difficult time.
I echo the previous email in being curious to know what direction the Braddock children took.
Thanks for an informative site.

What a great movie and a real good hearted human being. It seems Jimmy was "Good People". My dad grew up in Mount Vernon, NY and to see one of Jimmy's fights their was pretty neat. Dont make fighters like that anymore!

This is a great website that maintains the wonderful history of a true American hero. This is the type of hero we all need and should admire.

It is stories like this that remind us all that we can be more than what we are. For every hero like James Braddock, there are men and women who struggled in the quiet corners to find the courage and strength to survive. The Braddock story tells us those people are there and they must not be forgotten. It also reminds us of what we can become.

after watching the movie 'Cinderella Man' (2 nights ago), i found it was really a heartbreaking triumph for a man who fought with passion and love for his family that leads him to be the champ... a GREAT CHAMP... and the reason why i have searched for the website of James J Braddock... i admire Mr. James 'Jim', 'Jimmy' J. Braddock not because of being the World Heavyweight Champion, but because how he live his life in love, courage and hope.
