In light of the looming economic crisis, this wonderful boxing legend is an example to us all in times of complete desperation. Honesty, humility and sincerity cannot be measured by statistics. His character radiated beyond a dirty ring and still gives hope to many. May God bless the surviving families of an exceptional individual.

Prompted to look at this site after watching the movie.
Apart from his great boxing record. I was so impressed that Jim went on to serve in the military during the war and was particularly interested to read of his family and about Jim's life after boxing.
Thankyou

One of my childhood neighbors gave me the Cinderella Man dvd to watch, asking me to tell him how I liked it.
Well needless to say I LOVED IT! I had heard of the boxer Jim Bradock, but had never heard of the the "man" Jim Bradock. As impressed as I was with how he handled himself in the ring, I was awe struck by how much his family meant to him. What a TREMENDOUS MAN. He and Mae are the best Role Models that someone could look up to. Mr. Bradock and Joe Gould looked like they were tremendous friends and Joe Gould sounds like he did everything he could to help Jim and his family, the sign of a true humanitarian.
Mr. and Mrs. Bradocks children should be very proud of their Father and Mother.
Also, for Jim and Joe to serve their country at an age when most men wouldn't, just shows the quality of their charactor.
Ron Howard, as ussual, did a fantastic job protraying Jim and Mae in a troubled time in our country.
After viewing this movie, I am proud to call myself an American!

James Braddock was a very brave man. My mother and father talked about him and thought highly of him. The movie "Cinderella Man" could only do him justice. Be proud of him.

I just saw the movie for the first time on TV What a wonderful story!! Jim Braddock kept his integrity through out his life. Our nation is once again facing a difficult time. I pray our nation and it's leaders can show the same integrity that Jim did.

Just saw the movie on television last week and was very impressed with the depth of character Russel Crowe played.
I wanted to check the web to see if the real man was as he was portrayed accurately. It seems it was, Mr. Braddock was a great man.

I hope the Ron Howard movie was mostly true, because Mr. Braddock was an inspirational man.

Saw the movie over the weekend and I thought everything about it was awesome! The strength and depth of the man and his family was truly inspiring. The story's stayed with me over the last night or two and I just had to get onto Google to find out a little more about J J Braddock's life to see if the movie exaggerated in any way. I'm delighted to see that it did not; gave a true account of a remarkable man. An Incredible life!
Best regards

This movie is an inspiration! It is a sad commentary of our time that it was not the best picture of that year. I am researching Jim Braddock and the mans life is amazing! Thanks for the site guys!!!!

After watching Cinderella Man for the second time I was inspired to search for more info on the man who's love of family, work ethics and tenacity spoke for a generation in their time of need. His dedication to family and his amazing wife both teach us lessons in compassion, devotion, and commitment that this country could benefit from today...especially considering the selfish world we live in today.
Keep families together during times of adversity, be grateful for what you have, and don't always look for the easy way out.
The Braddock family should be very proud of their legacy. I hope they know how his humble story has touched the lives of so many generations. God Bless
