James J Braddock
There should have been no way that Braddock would survive even 4 rounds against a power puncher like Baer, but Baer took Braddock very lightly and - as was his style - threw away several rounds by clowning around. Then he tasted Braddock's power, which was considerable for a small heavyweight.

The Cinderella man and the guy they are referring to as the bulldog of Bergen is James J. Braddock who shocked the boxing world by defeating Max Baer for the Heavyweight Championship in 1934 at The Garden. He was a heavy underdog and became a great inspiration to millions of people during the great depression.
