James J. Braddock - Guestbook

Welcome to the official guestbook of the James J Braddock website. Due to spam, we have been forced stop guestbook entries.

WOW!!! What a wonderful, inspiring, heartwrenching, amazing movie!! I had tears in my eyes and a hard lump in my chest the whole movie. The power that came from the movie was overwhelming. A remarkable and strong man, James Braddock, your family must be very proud of you.

What a wonderful and moving tribute the film The Cinderella Man was to James J Braddock. Truly inspirational and we need more heros like him and his ringside mate Joe Gould. Remarkable story and what a glowing tribute and honour it must be for u and your family to keep this website and see such wonderful remarks. The amazing thing that strikes me was although he was Heavyweight Champion of the World, it was what he did and how he conducted himself outside the ring that made him a true champion.

VERY ENJOYABLE AND IMFORMATIVE
SITE. THE MOVIE WAS WORTH THE
ADMISSION-I SINCERELY HOPE THAT
THE PRICE OF ADMISSION PAYS A
PREMIUM TO THE FAMILY. YOUR DAD-
PROTRAYED BY MR.RUSSELL CROWE
GIVES RISE TO THE NATURAL SPIRIT
WITHIN MAN TO BE A MAN OF PRINCIPAL
AS WELL AS A MAN WITH PURPOSE. WE COULD ALL DO WITH A DOSE OF
THE SPIRIT THAT WAS CONTAINED
WITHIN THE HEART OF THE MAN SO
APPROPRIATELY NICKNAMED THE
CINDERELLA MAN. THANKS FOR
SHARING WITH ALL OF US THE MAN
CALLED MORE RIGHTLY SO----DAD!!!

GREAT MAN , GREAT FAMILY .. MY FATHER ALSO WORKED ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE VERRAZANO-BRIDGE IN THE EARLY 1960 'S.I STILL HAVE THE SILVER MEDAL THEY GAVE THE WORKERS AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BRIDGE . MY DAD WAS VERY PROUD OF IT . I HOPE MY FATHER HAD A CHANCE TO MEET MR BRADDOCK , I KNOW THE RESPECT HE HAD FOR HIM AS A FIGHTER AND A MAN .. THANKS .

I admire this man, and think is great that they did a movie on him..We all want to be immortal in our own way...

i enjoyed your website it showed me more of who james j braddock really was.a true hero of what hero's should be.

I’d never heard of James J. Braddock, but I will never forget him for as long as I live. I’m grateful that Russell Crowe had the resilience and fortitude to convince Ron Howard that this was a movie worth making. Crowe and Zellweger, brilliant actors, both talented as always, convey raw, human emotion as man and wife. Crowe’s eyes tell so much of the story that both of their performances are honorably Oscar worthy. Not once do I remember during the movie they verbally spoke of the love they had for each other and their children, but was made crystal clear by their actions and their looks. You just *knew* their love was beyond comprehension. Rosemarie was wonderful in the movie. A true actress who made film making appear so easy.

Howard, your father was a man of integrity. Being honest, optimistic, sincere, and loyal were just a few of his attributes – his greatest being the love of his family. Your mother was a wonderful woman – Strong and devoted to her family as well. Thank you for letting us have a peek into their lives. I’m forever grateful.

My wife and I just watched the Cinderella movie and would like to say He was a Man to be Proud of and Deserved everyones Respect and Love. He was a true American and a True Family Man and a Man that God Himself I'm sure is Very Very Proud to call One of His Children. I know we both were Extremely Proud of the type of Man he was Protrayed in the movie. We both would like to let his family members know We are Proud of Mr. James J Braddock. 01-22-2006

Your family must be proud, We could use more of his kind these days.

I hate fighting, but love a good biography. So I watched Cinderella Man, hoping for a good story and not too much violence. I got much more than I hoped for, the man (and his wife) are bigger than life. Thanks for my new favorite movie.

saya baru saja menonton film tentangnya, dan benar-benar membuat saya terharu, memberikan inspirasi yang luar biasa. selama ini say atidak tahu bahwa ada petinju besar seperti kakek anda. saya kagum dengan semangat pantang menyerahnya akan nasib. semoga jadi pelajaran buat kita semua bahwa nasib/takdir akan berubah bila kita berusaha dengan keras untuk merubahnya

This is a great website... the pictures were wonderful. After seeing the movie "Cinderella Man" I was very curious to see what Mr. Braddock really looked like, and his family. Thank you for sharing your families memories. You must be proud!

awesome.

I just finished watching Cindarella man - I held my breath through the whole Baer fight! Of course, I ran to my computer to find out more about the great man that was your grandfather. This is an awesome tribute to him - you must be very proud! Thank you so much for sharing his history with us.

A wonderful and inspirational story, brought to life in a great Ron Howard film. This movie is a great testament to Jim's life and legacy. May it live on forever.

this movie lets me remember when men were men like my dad, growing up on the lower east side, of an irish mom and italian dad, who was 17 yrs old in 1934. "Pride and pay your way" was so instilled in us to this day. Thank you for the opportunity to see and feel this... again!

Jim continues to inspire us today. I was glad to have seen his story in the movie.

Good movie! Great man he was!

the kid got heart good story

I loved the DVD. Quite a cinderella story.

I just saw the movie on DVD 01-20-06 it was so inspirational, my father grew up in Guttenberg before and during the 1920's I remember him telling stories about James Braddock and what his fighting meant to the people of that period. I was so glad to see it , I understand my dad even better because ot it.

After watching the movie about this remarkable and outstanding person ,I am more appreciative of what I have and will not take things for granted anymore!!!

I grew up in North Bergen, NJ and now, being 37 years old, I now know why Hudson County Park in North Bergen NJ is called James J. Braddock Park. I feel so proud!

David beats Goliath for the working class poor American! We need a Jim Braddock today!
