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.
Saw the movie last night, as far as Jim Braddock character as being a good family man and couregous i agree. But the rest of the movie is PURE FICTION. First of all Braddock was a terrible fighter, when he fought Baer. Baer in reality went into the fight with bad hands and did not want to fight. If Baer really wanted to fight it would have been over in 1 round. Braddock was afraid to fight anyone for 2 years until he was forced to fight Joe Louis and the rest is history. THE MOVIE IS PURE FICTION.

Just watched the movie. I had no idea. What an interesting true story. So dedicated to his family! A wonderful man! I wanted to find more 'stuff' about him so i came here.
The Braddock family must be sooooo proud of him! A hero in every sense. Got back into the Army to serve during war.
An All- American Hero!

My husband and I just watched the movie, and have two small children ourselves, and were so moved by his dedication to his family and the love between he and Mae. I wish his family well, they have so much to be proud of.

My son and I just watched the movie. It was great. It is a reminder for the current generation about what it's like to have true adversity. I hope that at the end of my life I can say that I was as good and couragous as Jim.

Just watched this movie on Pay Per View. I can't believe that I didn't see this on the big screen. Ron Howard did an incredible job with this story about a man that I wished that I had met. Great performances and a great history lesson. What a legacy.......

Mr. Braddock is the "Sea Biscuit" of boxing & more than that, a great American patriot, not just for boxing, but for service to his country.

I just saw the movie. How cool was THAT?!!!! Came right up here to look for "stuff" on James J. Braddock. A great fighter....but an even better person and man; the embodiment of the American spirit and soul. I have a wall of framed photos of people I admire and try to be like. The faces on the wall change from time to time. Each person on my wall represents a particular character trait or traits. Many are on my wall -- my dad, John Paul II, Thomas Jefferson, Willie Mays, Joshua Chamberlain, Mother Teresa, Woodrow Wilson/Teddy Roosevelt etc... and many others. I may have to move Joshua (my portrait of courage) with Jimmy Braddock.... Maybe I'll move Joshua and put Jimmy up there for a while -- courage, humility, honesty etc...... AWESOME!
