**James Walter Braddock** (June 7, 1905 – November 29, 1974) was an American[\[2\]](#cite_note-Braddock-2)[\[3\]](#cite_note-WatsonHalus2014-3) [boxer](/wiki/Boxing "Boxing") who was the world heavyweight champion from 1935 to 1937.[\[4\]](#cite_note-bdruadn-4)

Fighting under the name **James J. Braddock** (ostensibly to follow the pattern set by two prior world boxing champions, [James J. Corbett](/wiki/James_J._Corbett "James J. Corbett") and [James J. Jeffries](/wiki/James_J._Jeffries "James J. Jeffries")), Braddock was known for his spoiling, counterpunching style, powerful right hand, and his iron chin. He had lost several bouts due to chronic hand injuries and was forced to work on the docks and collect social assistance to feed his family during [the Great Depression](/wiki/The_Great_Depression "The Great Depression"). He made a comeback, and in 1935 he fought [Max Baer](/wiki/Max_Baer_(boxer) "Max Baer (boxer)") for the world heavyweight championship and won. For this unlikely feat he was given the nickname " [Cinderella Man](/wiki/Cinderella_Man "Cinderella Man")" by [Damon Runyon](/wiki/Damon_Runyon "Damon Runyon"). Braddock was managed by [Joe Gould](/wiki/Joe_Gould_(boxing) "Joe Gould (boxing)").

## Early life

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=James_J._Braddock&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Early life")\]

Braddock was born on June 7, 1905[\[5\]](#cite_note-5) on West 48th Street in [Manhattan](/wiki/Manhattan "Manhattan")'s [Hell's Kitchen](/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen,_Manhattan "Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan") neighborhood. He moved to [North Bergen, New Jersey](/wiki/North_Bergen,_New_Jersey "North Bergen, New Jersey") at an early age. He was one of seven children[\[6\]](#cite_note-6) being raised by immigrant parents; [Irish](/wiki/Irish_people "Irish people") mother Elizabeth [O'Tool](/wiki/O%27Toole_family "O'Toole family") and [Anglo-Irish](/wiki/Anglo-Irish "Anglo-Irish") father Joseph Braddock.[\[7\]](#cite_note-norosebd-7)

He stated his life's early ambition was to play college football for [Knute Rockne](/wiki/Knute_Rockne "Knute Rockne") at the [University of Notre Dame](/wiki/Notre_Dame_Fighting_Irish_football "Notre Dame Fighting Irish football"), though this did not come to pass, as he remarked that he had "more brawn than brains".[\[8\]](#cite_note-8)[\[9\]](#cite_note-9)

## Career

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=James_J._Braddock&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Career")\]

Braddock pursued boxing, fighting as a light heavyweight. His first fight in a ring occurred on November 27, 1923.[\[10\]](#cite_note-10) He turned pro at the age of 21. After three years, Braddock's record was 44–2–2 (.938), with 21 knockouts.

In 1928, Braddock pulled off a major upset by knocking out highly regarded [Tuffy Griffiths](/wiki/Tuffy_Griffiths "Tuffy Griffiths"). The following year he earned a chance to fight for the title, but he narrowly lost to [Tommy Loughran](/wiki/Tommy_Loughran "Tommy Loughran") in a 15-round decision. Braddock was greatly depressed by the loss and badly fractured his right hand in several places in the process.[\[2\]](#cite_note-Braddock-2)

His next 33 fights were significantly less successful, with an 11–20–2 (.364) record. With his family in poverty during the Great Depression, Braddock was forced to give up boxing and work as a [longshoreman](/wiki/Longshoreman "Longshoreman"). Due to frequent injuries to his right hand, Braddock compensated by using his left hand during his longshoreman work, and it gradually became stronger than his right.[\[11\]](#cite_note-11)

Braddock felt humiliated by having to accept [government relief](/wiki/Government_relief "Government relief") money, but he was inspired by the [Catholic Worker Movement](/wiki/Catholic_Worker_Movement "Catholic Worker Movement"), a Christian social justice organization founded by [Dorothy Day](/wiki/Dorothy_Day "Dorothy Day") and [Peter Maurin](/wiki/Peter_Maurin "Peter Maurin") in 1933 to help the homeless and hungry. After his boxing comeback, Braddock returned the welfare money he had received and made frequent donations to various Catholic Worker Houses, and fed homeless people by inviting them to meals with his family.[\[12\]](#cite_note-12)

### Max Baer fight

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=James_J._Braddock&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Max Baer fight")\]

In 1934, Braddock was given a fight with the highly touted [John "Corn" Griffin](/wiki/John_Griffin_(boxer) "John Griffin (boxer)"). Although Braddock was intended simply as a stepping stone in Griffin's career, he knocked out the " [Ozark](/wiki/Ozark "Ozark") Cyclone" in the third round. Braddock then fought [John Henry Lewis](/wiki/John_Henry_Lewis "John Henry Lewis"), a future light heavyweight champion. He won in one of the most important fights of his career. After defeating another highly regarded heavyweight contender, [Art Lasky](/wiki/Art_Lasky "Art Lasky"), whose nose he broke during the bout on March 22, 1935,[\[13\]](#cite_note-brdecv-13) Braddock was given a title fight against the World Heavyweight Champion, [Max Baer](/wiki/Max_Baer_(boxer) "Max Baer (boxer)").[\[1\]](#cite_note-mbfavtwn-1)[\[14\]](#cite_note-bbbshm-14)

Considered little more than a journeyman fighter, Braddock was hand-picked by Baer's handlers because he was seen as an easy payday for the champion, despite his recent impressive victories. Instead, on June 13, 1935, at [Madison Square Garden Bowl](/wiki/Madison_Square_Garden_Bowl "Madison Square Garden Bowl"), Braddock won the Heavyweight Championship of the World as the 10-to-1 underdog in what was called "the greatest fistic upset since the defeat of [John L. Sullivan](/wiki/John_L._Sullivan "John L. Sullivan") by [Jim Corbett](/wiki/James_J._Corbett "James J. Corbett")".[\[2\]](#cite_note-Braddock-2)

During the fight, a dogged Braddock took a few heavy hits from the powerful younger champion (29 years versus 26 years for Baer), but Braddock kept coming, wearing down Baer, who seemed perplexed by Braddock's ability to take a punch. In the end, the judges gave Braddock the title with a unanimous decision.[\[14\]](#cite_note-bbbshm-14)[\[15\]](#cite_note-vfbunan-15)

### Heavyweight Champion

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=James_J._Braddock&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Heavyweight Champion")\]

Braddock's first title defense was to be against German [Max Schmeling](/wiki/Max_Schmeling "Max Schmeling") on June 3, 1937, in the [Madison Square Garden Bowl](/wiki/Madison_Square_Garden_Bowl "Madison Square Garden Bowl"). However, Braddock backed out of the bout in favor of a fight with [Joe Louis](/wiki/Joe_Louis "Joe Louis") in Chicago.[\[16\]](#cite_note-16) Braddock argued he would have received only a US$25,000 purse against Schmeling, compared to $250,000 against rising star Louis. There was also concern that if Schmeling won, the Nazi government would deny American fighters opportunities to fight for the title.[\[17\]](#cite_note-Walsh_37-17) Finally, American commentators had expressed opposition to the fight in light of the connections between Schmeling and [Adolf Hitler](/wiki/Adolf_Hitler "Adolf Hitler"), with whom the German fighter had been associated after his earlier victory over Louis.[\[17\]](#cite_note-Walsh_37-17)[\[18\]](#cite_note-frengh-18) In his only defense of the title, Braddock lost to Louis in the 8th round by a knockout, the only one of his career.

Braddock and Louis saw each other frequently over the years, and the Brown Bomber always greeted him the same way: “Hello, champ.”
As Jeremy Schaap wrote, “\[Louis\] fought eight world heavyweight champions, more than any other fighter ever, but he never called anyone but Jim Braddock ‘champ.’”
[\[19\]](#cite_note-19) On the other hand, shortly after winning the title, Louis was quoted as saying, "I don't want to be called champ until I whip Max Schmeling".

## Personal life

Braddock married Mae Fox in 1930, and the couple had three children, James (Jay) Jr., Howard and Rosemarie.[\[20\]](#cite_note-20)[\[21\]](#cite_note-NYT_obit-21)

Braddock enlisted in the [U.S. Army](/wiki/United_States_Army "United States Army") in 1942 and became a [first lieutenant](/wiki/First_lieutenant#U.S._Army,_U.S._Marine_Corps_and_U.S._Air_Force "First lieutenant"). He served in the [Pacific theater](/wiki/Pacific_War "Pacific War") on the island of [Saipan](/wiki/Saipan "Saipan"), where he trained enlisted men in hand-to-hand combat.[\[22\]](#cite_note-22)[\[21\]](#cite_note-NYT_obit-21)

Upon return, he worked as a marine equipment surplus supplier and helped construct the [Verrazzano Narrows Bridge](/wiki/Verrazzano-Narrows_Bridge "Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge") in the early 1960s.[\[23\]](#cite_note-23)

Braddock was a member of the Fairview [Teeko](/wiki/Teeko "Teeko") Club, New Jersey, where he was regarded as one of the strongest teekoists.[\[24\]](#cite_note-24)

## Death and legacy

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=James_J._Braddock&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: Death and legacy")\]

Braddock North Hudson Park in [North Bergen, New Jersey](/wiki/North_Bergen,_New_Jersey "North Bergen, New Jersey")

After his death in 1974 at the age of 69, James J. Braddock was interred in the Mount Carmel Cemetery in [Tenafly, New Jersey](/wiki/Tenafly,_New_Jersey "Tenafly, New Jersey"). He was inducted into the [International Boxing Hall of Fame](/wiki/International_Boxing_Hall_of_Fame "International Boxing Hall of Fame") in 2001. [James J. Braddock North Hudson County Park](/wiki/Hudson_County_Park_System "Hudson County Park System") in [North Bergen, New Jersey](/wiki/North_Bergen,_New_Jersey "North Bergen, New Jersey") is named in his honor.[\[25\]](#cite_note-25) On September 16, 2008, a 10-foot, 1,500-pound bronze statue of Braddock was erected in the park named in his honor not far from where he lived and trained. The statue was created by internationally renowned sculptor [Zenos Frudakis](/wiki/Zenos_Frudakis "Zenos Frudakis")[\[26\]](#cite_note-26)

The 2005 [biographical film](/wiki/Biographical_film "Biographical film") _[Cinderella Man](/wiki/Cinderella_Man "Cinderella Man")_ tells Braddock's story. Directed by [Ron Howard](/wiki/Ron_Howard "Ron Howard"), it stars [Russell Crowe](/wiki/Russell_Crowe "Russell Crowe") as Braddock and [Renée Zellweger](/wiki/Ren%C3%A9e_Zellweger "Renée Zellweger") as his wife, Mae.[\[27\]](#cite_note-bcstar-27) The film had an estimated budget of $88 million and grossed $108.5 million worldwide.[\[28\]](#cite_note-28) Crowe's performance earned him a [Golden Globe](/wiki/Golden_Globe "Golden Globe") nomination for [Best Actor](/wiki/Golden_Globe_Award_for_Best_Actor_%E2%80%93_Motion_Picture_Drama "Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama"). [Paul Giamatti](/wiki/Paul_Giamatti "Paul Giamatti"), playing Braddock's manager Joe Gould, was nominated for the [Academy Award](/wiki/Academy_Award "Academy Award") for [Best Supporting Actor](/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Supporting_Actor "Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor"). The role of neighbor Sara Wilson was played by [Rosemarie DeWitt](/wiki/Rosemarie_DeWitt "Rosemarie DeWitt"), who is Braddock's real-life granddaughter. The film received mostly positive reviews.[\[29\]](#cite_note-29)
