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.

I watched the A&E special on Cinderella Man and James Braddock really inspired me, he seemed to be a great and noble man. I am really looking forward to see this movie

Just saw Cinderella Man. Great picture about a great man. Who was the guy who played Max Baer? He was surprisingly good.

Just saw "Cinderella Man." What an incredible story. There are not many sports celebrities like him today. He is a wonderful role model for young and old alike. Thanks Ron Howard for a wonderful film.

That's the great thing about this country is stories like this. Braddock is one of many depression era hero's that shouldn't be forgotten. Thank you to Ron Howard who proves why he is one of the best directors in Hollywood.

I want to go see the movie. I am inspired by the hype. This movie and the life of Jim. Thank you Ron Howard.

Just viewed Cinderella Man and cried like a baby through most of the film. It was absolutely wonderful. The depression certainly brought out what it mean't to be a father. Best of luck..

Daaaaamn. Jim Braddock was a stone cold pimp. He kicked some serious ass. Way to go Jim, im definately going to see your movie. I am also Irish so it makes it that much cooler.

I just watched the Biography of J. Braddock and I'm deeply impressed. He's a man's man. I plan on seeing the movie this week. Blessings to his family....

A great movie! A great father, husband and fighter! An inspiration for all who could use a second chance! Thanks to Russell and Opie! What a team!

I plan to see the movie, as I read the reviews and I saw all the clips, but with the most reason that I read the story here and I think he was an extraordinary man, with very good values and that motivates me the most.
Please, keep posting pictures of him and his family.
Thank you.

I grew up in North Bergen and lived exactly two blocks from the Braddock home on 78th St. My dad told me stories of his boxing career. I remember ringing the Braddock doorbel after a snowstorm offering to shovel the sidewalk, but no one was home at the time. I'm excited about goping to see the movie tonight.

This is a great wesite honoring a great man. I hate going to the movies, but I wouldnt miss this one for anything.

My husband and I just saw the movie. Wow! What a wonderful, inspiring film. Our best to the Braddock family.

just saw the movie, awesome, he was a courageous man who obviously loved his family dearly

just saw Cinderella Man, very good movie, but acurate. Baer never was knocked down or bloodied like the movie showed. I have the actual film on 16mm film. Baer came into the fight and really did not want to fight that night. If Baer really wanted to fight it would have been over in the first round.

Inspiration

James J Braddock is an inspitation to everyone.

I am in awe of this website. It encompasses Mr. James Braddock's life so amazingly. His life itself was amazing and this website does a great justice. Thank you to all who help maintain it. It is deeply appreciated by myself and I'm certain by other fans as well.

hi

Im currently 24 and in the last few years have become interested in the sport of boxing. I am NOT familiar with boxers at all... After seeing the previews for Cinderella Man I have been intrigued by Jimmy and found this website. I would have liked to see Jimmy's fights but do look forward to seeing this movie.

I haven't seen the movie, but i like seeing movies about real people and the life they lived. You don't see too many role models in a positive sense nowadays. From what i hear and read Mr. Braddock was a loving father and husband. Maybe we can take his example and use it, in our lives as well.

God bless!

I havn't seen the movie, but I always go see movies based on real life peoples lives, and even better when the person is considered a person that we can admire they way he lived his life.
Thanks for the web sight. Can't wait to see the movie.
