"Logic Behind the Leather" Who Are They": James "Cinderella Man" Braddock

James "Cinderella" Braddock, was a former World Heavyweight Champ from 1935-1937.  He turned pro at the age of 21, fighting as a light heavyweight and in 1928, pulled off a major upset by knocking out Tuffy Griffths, and in 1935, Braddock beat Max Baer for the title, earning his nickname "Cinderella Man" for his performance.
Braddock was known for his powerful right hand and strong chin, and three years after he turned pro, acquired a record of 44-2-2. Unfortunately, Braddock battled with chronic hand injuries and lost many bouts due to it. After losing a decision against Tommy Loughran, and fracturing his hand during the bout, Braddock became depressed and his career began to suffer from it. His record fell to 11-20-2 after his devastating loss. He eventually gave up boxing to take care of his family, working as a longshoreman.
