Impressive 1937 photo of Heavyweight Champion of the World James J. Braddock as he posed for the camera a week before he took on Joe Louis (and lost). Amazing image as Braddock is wearing the coolest Irish boxing trunks ever made! Braddock became one of the most popular fighters of all time with his 1935 improbable victory over Max Baer that gave him the title and the nickname "Cinderella Man." An incredible image issued by Acme and with a secondary stamp from NEA.
