His boxing deteriorates and he ends up fighting two bit bouts for very small rewards. The boxing world had moved on and left the once talented Braddock behind.

A championship contendersoponent pulls out of the fight the week of the bout and this opens the door for Braddock to return to the ring. He knows that he has been chosen as a piece of meat for the up coming fighter to knock outon his way to the top. Braddock had survived all through his career without being knocked out and the young fighters reputation would be enhanced with this feat on his c.v. Braddock wasn't thinkingabout the fight, he had been promised $250.00 for the bout and that was all that concerned him, feeding his family with his own money was all that Braddock was interested in. The fight was turned onit's head and Braddock knocked the young man out, leading to another fight and another and another. A chance at winning the heavyweight championship of the world soon beckoned and Braddock faced thecocky but effective Max Bear. The odds again were upset when Braddock took the belt from Bear in a fifteen round slug match, giving hope to all the down and outs that had followed Braddocks miraclereturn.
