During the Great Depression, an everyday common-man hero, James J. Braddock was to become one of the most surprising sports legends in history. With the Depression going strong in the early 1930s, the impoverished ex-boxer was seemingly as broken-down and out-of-luck as the rest of the America.

Eventually, he rose through the ranks and went on to fight the heavyweight champ, the unstoppable Max Baer
