    I am a fan and am trying to be objective. Do you rate Braddock as a great fighter ?

    Braddock was not a great fighter, but he might just have been the best lineal heavyweight champion, from the neck up!

    In the same way that Jack Sharkey was the best fighter in the world from the neck down!

    I'd say he wasn't a great fighter, but is pretty underrated one.

    I am going to saltar over the previous comments and say Moorer blasts him in 6 or 7.

    Nah, but he was good enough when compared to most other fighters of the time
