I thought I'd share this, what a man, Braddock, he was fighting to put food on the table for his kids, these days they're fighting to get more money for a new Bentley or another mansion somewhere. How times have changed.

You've got Mayweather and co spouting off about how much he paid for a ping pong table etc almost everyday, they should learn a thing or two by researching how it was back in the day and appreciate life itself and what they have!

Most of the fights are better than the modern game. Obviously rules have been tweaked etc but these guys fought to feed the family etc and many took savage beatings.

Exactly my point from the original post Walter mate. They were true men, who fought for their family to eat. I mean Braddock, he broke his hand and was basically thrown out of the whole boxing scene, so he went to work wherever he could. Things got worse for him and he eventually ended up back into boxing against Max Baer. I only know this from watching the film 'Cinderella man' and it made me want to know more about such a fantastic individual so I read more on him, an absolute legend but it's not just him, in them days many people was in exactly the same boat, unfortunately not everybody was as lucky. These fellas wasn't bothered about showing what new car they could get or posting pictures of thousands of pounds etc, they were true gents.

Just remember cinderella man is a film. They portrait max baer in a really bad light. Even the director the guy from happy days admitted he made the max character worse to improve the film.
In reality max was a wonderful funny guy and well liked everywhere. Check his home videos on you tube.
Although he killed in the ring, he was deverstated and never forgave himself for the rest of his life.
