    Baer underestimated Braddock, and Braddock prepared the best, because he knew it was his last chance.

    Max Baer was Braddocks 6th or 7th best opponent and the 3rd best Braddock defeated.

    Max Baer's record against Braddock opponents 4-5?

    I believe that from an odds point of view, the Braddock win was the biggest heavyweight championship upset until Spinks beat Ali. That’s pretty darn impressive if you ask me.
