Now I know where Sylvester Stallone got the idea for the movie "Rocky". Braddock was America's true "Rocky". He was the hope and prayers of the people. He did not fight alone. That's what made him so strong. Now days, they just fight for the money and to feed their egos. Braddock fought for his family's survival.

Excellent life...being successful after the great depression shows what a special man he was. He was an inspiration to Americans in a low point in American history. The movie and his life showed the drive of Americans to get back up and dust themselves off and to continue to fight for your dreams.

My dad was a boxing fan and I had heard of many of the champs before the movie came out but the background of James Braddock was completely unknown to me. I knew he was champ and had lost to the Brown Bomber but watching the scene where he had to fight to save his kids and then paid back the welfare money got to me. Tears filled my eyes and though I knew he was going to win for the championship I found myself moving back and forth to help him punch. I don't know how they could have let this story wait so long to be told. Wow

WoW! Amazing man, amazing carreer, amazing life! His life is as sad as it was successful in many ways.
Great story .. nothing to add.

My dad was a welterweight fighter in the 1950's. Braddocks sense of decency and family responsiblity reminded me of my parents struggles during those times of insecurity and hope.

We truly enjoyed the story on James Braddock. It brought memories back of the stories of my own grandfather James (Jimmy) Eubanks who boxed in the Army at Ft Benning. I am sure as I watched the story I could just imagine my own grandfather, nicknamed Irishman, enjoying listening to these fights.

I just wanted to take a moment to say how inspired I was by James Braddock's story. Not simply because of his boxing feats but also how he carried himself as an American and a man. Truly a person we should all strive to be!!

I just watched the movie. It was great.
It gave me a sense of what mydads family must have felt on the night of the fight, especially since my family lived in Union City West NY and NOrth
Bergen. Fantastic Story of Courage Hope and Great Pride.

Just watched the movie for a second time in two days. My fiance' and I made my two children watch it again with us this Christmas evening. How I am moved to strive harder, work smarter, believe more deeply in the strength within me to survive. The love that we share for each other, the dreams for a brighter future, the hope of a happier and healthier new year...all possible...just believe.
