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.

thank you for letting me get to know a very honorable man and family. it also lets me have hope that just because your down your not out. god bless you all

The essence of this story goes well beyond boxing. It's about a husband & wife staying together during difficult times, loving their family, a man's pride, his character and finally, unexpected victory in the ring.

Your recent movie is incredible. I myself once beat the odds in life coming back from two knee injuries to win the NCAA Ski Championships and set a United States Skiing record that season for the most victories in one season. I'm very proud of your father, as he simply found a way to win, no matter what. That's what life is about.

Best of luck,
Thomas Schaefer

just watch the movie and it touched a me so much all that matter to him was his family. and going through the depretion was so hard on folks. he was such a inspiration to the american people during that time that he will always be a hero

A true hero comes up when all goes down. James J.Braddock is one in a million.

We shall have my utmost respect till the end of my days, unless I lose my memory or something first ^^.

From Portugal, Europe, a deep bow to a great champion!

This is a heart warming movie. It makes one proud to be an American where we all have a oppurtunity for a second chance. What we do with that chance is up to the individual. Bless his family.

I just watched the DVD and loved this movie! I also don't watch boxing but enjoyed watching this story of a man who rose above the odds against him and came out on top, truly inspirational. Makes me glad I like Irish ale. ; )

Every family should be so lucky to have a father/husband like he. My grandmother use to tell us stories of the great depression. I took my children to see the movie and my 10 year old son asked me if it really was that hard on folks. It was a great history lesson and a beautiful love story. Makes me that much more proud of my Irish heritage and my American heritage as well.
God Bless the James J. Braddock Family

In a time when our country needed a hero, James Braddock filled that void and was a humble gentleman to all.

Tremendous Movie -- You have to be proud of your father, a tremendous man.

I am an Irish American born in New Jersey. The film struck a cord in me...feeling a lot of pride

Cinderella Man, what a fantastic movie! Makes me proud to be an Irish American!

just watched the movie, and I loved it. And I just wanted to let you know that i cant get your pictures to work.

I terrific movie, I only wish I was Irish

My wife and I just got done watching Cinderella Man and the story was just amazing! James J Braddock was truely a family man and a hero to all. Don't care for boxing much, but this was more than just boxing. He believed in himself and his family....

Just wanted to say, that JJB seemed like a great man, A man that I am sure was a role model to alot of people in his time, thats great..Cinderalla Man was an awesome portrayl of one mans life, and I am glad it was created...

Watching Cinderella Man and listening to Ron Howards directors cut it boils down to a great story both informative and entertaining. I feel Max Baur was not represented in a positve light. I did a google search on Max and the current spin on his life is very colorful. Great fight pictures of the golden era of boxing can be viewed on the pps web site.

I watched the movie several months back and I really enjoyed it. I think what moved me the most is what he did even after his boxing career.

This movie is in my top 10 favorites of all time.

Amazing people!
Him and his wife.

Makes us feel like being a good person is way cooler than being how most people are these days.

I would like to say the movie is so wonderful..JJB is a great man, a real human being like we need so much in society. A great movie of Ron Howard.

I would like to know if JJB is alive and if it's exist some french book of his life.

Thanks

Norm

Me and me husband watched this beautiful movie. We use to watch boxing years ago, around the time mike tyson boxed. But i tell you after seeing this movie and looking at family photos of james braddock, I have never seen a boxer like james. The movie moved me so. What a man! You are very proud of your grandpa, i know. What love he had. I'm so glad we watched the movie. Now we're going to rent his fights to watch. Truely a wonderful man and your grandma also was so in love with him and their kids. thank you

I'm glad I didn't know much of anything about James Braddock because it made the movie much more exciting for my wife and I. The Max Baer fight scene kept us on the edge of our seats the whole time. What a wonderful true story about a GREAT BOXER and FAMILY MAN! America could certainly use more men of honor like James Braddock.

James Jay the third.....thank you for maintaining this web cite and sharing your families with nall of us who so admired your grandfather and enjoyed the movie. Wish I had know Rosemarie was in the movie before I watched it.

Thanks again.
