Not so sure, might have won but it would have been a lot closer. 2015 Manny doesn't sell out to land, that ended 2012.Comment

Originally posted by Freedom.Braddock had courage.
He came back after 20 losses to become heavyweight champion. He never waited until boxers were old and faded, he fought them in their primes. He never demanded home advantage, a home ref to permit him to foul, or his opponents wear gloves with extra padding.
Braddock was a good man who loved his wife. He fought through severe adversity to provide for his family during the Great Depression.
By all accounts, James J Braddock was an honest, decent man of strong character, not an arrogant woman-beating braggart.Comment

Here's the BoxRec P4P list, he's not even in the top 5 now, he went down after the KO loss to Marquez:

And The Ring P4P ratings don't have him in the top 5 either. Check for yourself.Comment

Originally posted by Freedom.His motivation to come back from all those losses was to provide for his wife and children.
That's quite a contrast to shallow Floyd "Money" Mayweather, who cares about no one but himself.
Braddock was a man of strong character, Floyd is a man of weak character.Comment

Originally posted by Freedom.You consider any criticism of Floyd to be motivated by bigotry.
Your love for him has blinded you, you refuse to see the real reasons many people don't like Floyd.
You can make any bigoted thread or post you choose, just at least have a little integrity as a fan of the sport and leave it out of FOTM threads or let someone who can do the thread.Comment

We are all entitled to our opinions.
Stop being such a crybaby. And stop accusing people of being racist - it's against the rules of this website.Last edited by The Big Dunn; 06-01-2015, 12:04 PM.Comment
