James J. Braddock, World Heavy-Weight Champion

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

Thank you for providing such a great information site on James Braddock. After seeing the film, Cinderalla Man, I was inspired to learn more about this great man. I think what touched me the most, even more than his fighting record, was his honesty and dertermination. He fought for his family.

God Bless, and thank you again.

In a day and age of techno - spectacular special effect movies, it is sad to see this movie was not a huge box office draw. It is a very very touching movie and gives inspiration to myself to do with what you have and always do what you can for your family. Russel Crowe / Renne Zellwinger were very good pair together.

Watching this movie was so inspiring. Mr. Braddock was clearly an example of someome who was athletically talented but more important used his heart, integrity, and power of the mind to persevere in the ring of boxing and also in the ring of life. Thank you for having this website.

Just saw the movie. Wow! I was in awe of the character, courage, and integrity of James J Braddock. His story was so uplifting and encouraging. His descendents should be very proud and honored to be Braddock's.

I was truly touched in so many ways by this great film about a truly great man. Russell Crowe and his supporting cast in "Cinderella Man" can not be commended enough for thier collective brilliance. It scores a knockout in every way!!!

i have a Bipolar disorder and after a long career on Wall Street i LOST EVERYTHING I had worked for and filed bankruptcy...living on social services. When I saw Cinderella Man I had barely left the houise for 7 days. The film wasa God given inspiration for me. If JJ made it back; I can too

My husband and I saw this movie for our "date night." I was so moved by how wonderful a man and athlete James was. I was also touched by Mae and her dedication to James and to her children before, during and after the depression. Their dedication to each other made me realize that any two people in love can overcome any obstacles.
It was an honor for my husband and I to learn about Mr. Braddock.

My husband and I saw the movie tonight. It was fantastic. I found this site and have been reading all the info on the Cinderella Man. He was awesome. Great to see he and Mae were together forever....Great life, against all odds. Inspiring. Thanks

Cinderella Man may be my favorite movie ever. I've seen it twice. A wonderful story about a wonderful man and his family. However, the mention of Max Baer killing two people in the ring is totally incorrect. That was the only thing I had a problem with. If I was a family member of his, I'd be furious. The one time it did happen, (Frankie Campbell) he was devastated.

What a great movie! It is so wonderful to see someone with such good values, what an inspiration to the young. Life is not always easy but you can overcome the obstacles!

We saw the movie last night and were very touched. America needs more men of character like James Braddock.

Just saw the movie Cinderella Man. I must say that is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Ron Howard did a great job of protraying James Braddock's life in the movie. If Jim had been alive, he would have found the movie an honor.

Thank you so the family for putting this web site together, and for Ron Howard, & Russel Crowe, much for the inspiration and courage that the movie shows. What a man to follow after, and many of kids today should see what it takes to be a man. Thank you very much Tricia and I were very touched by the love and honor the couple had for each other and their kids. We need more movies like this, family oriented and uplifting. To see a family stick together through hard times instead of splitting up.

Just finished watching the film--glad my kids were able to view it also. Good family values. I was born and raised in NJ and brought back many memories of my dad listening to the fights on the weekends.

Jim Braddock was a wonderful man, a huge inspiration, and someone that the world should never forget as he reminds us of the hope that is in all of us.

Congratulations to Ron Howard and Russell Crowe on such a fantastic job of bringing to life the "magic" of this remarkable American. We loved the movie and hope that many more people in America will see this great movie. It is a true American classic.
