A documentary look back at one of boxing's most improbable champions, James J.Braddock. We discuss how he rose from a job working as a stevedore for sixty cents an hour to gaining a heavyweight title shot when the boxing world had counted him out. Pulling off a handful of consecutive upsets, Braddock saved the best for last when he took on the heavily favored Max Baer for the belt.
