I am greatly inspired by this magnificent and beautiful grooggs man whom i keep in my dreams and find inspirational while writing my novels, KREES and YEWFRO about the struggle of young men and children who strive to get by on a daily basis with potato farming.

Jim (James J) is my great, great uncle & I am proud and honoured to say he is a member of my family. Much respect must go to the site admin for the maintenance of a well kept & nicely informed site. Just one thing though, my daughter (his great, great, great niece) is doing a school project on his career and we cant find a standing shot of him with the title belt, if the admin could upload one to gallery that would be great!

Wow! Truly amazing story. This site is such a great tribute to such an inspiring man.

Well done on having a very good website. A very fitting tribute for such a fantastic man like Jim Braddock. Makes me proud to be Irish.

Truly Inspirational! What a fantastic human being. Makes me proud of my Dual Citizenship... Irish and American.
My great uncle was Bill Squires, Champion of Australia, another great Irishman.

A story of a man fighting all odds including injury and poverty with exceptional Courage, determination and a will to be the best fighter, a good human and family man. He brings out lessons for all of us rich or poor.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say how much of an iconic figure Jimmy is to me. A beacon of hope for me in many ways. As an Irish immigrant in a foreign country, both the story & film gives me a pride & strength- Jimmy's fighting spirit you could say. What a fighter?

I just watched the movie, Cinderella Man, for the first time and LOVED IT completely....Looks like this man and his family were/are outstanding American citizens and true heroes!!! Thank you for sharing with us all!!! His story is truly inspiring!!! Have a blessed day!!!

Everytime I watch "Cinderella Man" it brings a smile to my face. Great movie, great man. Thank you for having a forum where people can learn more about this terrific man pass on thoughts of how he and the movie have impacted their lives.

I was an amateur boxer in the early 1990s. Growing up the Rocky movies was inspiration to me. I later became a boxing coach. I wish i had met Mr.Braddock. His story is a great inspiration to me as i go through many of lifes struggles. RIP.. CHAMP... Your legacy lives on.

I watched cinderella man and found so inspirational. My mother rarley talked about the hard times of the 1930's but i read up on its hardships and felt for james. He was a humble and hardworking family man. I respect that.

I used to date Tuck Braddock Who told me of his uncle James J. Braddock heavy weight champion. Tuck's full name was Harold Tucker Braddock, Did James have a brother who lived in Massachusetts?

He will be my insperation
rest of my life. great boxer and all of above great man.

Actually, this may be just a little early for logigng on Outer Island. The first record I've found of logigng there is about six years later, in 1884. However, the government did make sure the keepers had a good supply of firewood: the light station boundaries were drawn large enough to encompass sufficient timber for the keepers' use. Since these tracts were not subject to commercial logigng, the lighthouse reservations now contain some of the oldest forest in the Apostles. (Think of those awesome pines on the trail to the Sand Island light.)

I read the book shortly afer seeing the movie. Both were outstanding, with the book's ability to dig deeper with detail (describing how boxing was HUGE in the first half of last century, etc).

If this country continues its slide into another Great Depression-type era, it would behoove many to watch the movie or read the book for inspiration on coping, finding the strength to look forward, etc. Great stuff!

Wonderful inspiring story.

Wonderful movie. Certainly a good man to emulate.

I saw Cinderella man and the story about James Braddock was excellent. What an American hero. I bet he was one hell of a class act to. RIP Jimmy.
