		Braddock had given no thought to a comeback, and hadn’t been near a gym in months, when his loyal friend and ever-scuffling manager Joe Gould crossed the Hudson bearing news of an offer to fight again.

		Superlatives are the blood and bone of boxing, so you have to be suspicious of a book that includes in its subtitle "the greatest upset in boxing history," but in "Cinderella Man,&; Jeremy Schaap makes a fair case that James J. Braddock's victory over Max Baer in 1935 qualified for that distinction.

	Director throws his hat in the ring with 'Cinderella Man'
		In fact, Howard says he first heard of James J. Braddock because of his father, who tells of being an impressionable 6-year-old when Braddock fought Baer in 1935.
		Those elements made Braddock the darling of the hard-pressed working class in Depression-era America, and helped make his stunning upset of flashy champion Max Baer one of the great moments in the sport.
		And it made a strong enough story to reunite the star and director of the Oscar-winning "A Beautiful Mind." But this time, it would be a true-life tale of brawn instead of brains that brought Russell Crowe back under Howard's direction.
