Great film... sorry to see that it took the usual Hollyweird dramatic license to come up with a cartoonish villain.
However, it should be noted that in the final scene, Baer is congratulating Braddock like a good sport, and he happily sprints out of the ring.

Jethro Bodine had been clean through the sixth grade before Opie had even finished wiping his @ss with his hand. Things ain't changed much.

This seems to be a fair analysis of Baer. He was in boxing for the money as was Braddock.

I don't get it. Max Baer was a heavyweight champion with a fabled right arm-- and he hated boxing??? That's like saying Bill Clinton genuinely hates politics.

What ever happened to Buddy Baer, Max Baers brother who was also a boxer. I know they were both in a movie or two.

Not saying Max Baer Sr. wasn't as his son portrays him, but his son was born 2 years after the Braddock fight, so he wasn't really able to see how his father behaved at the time in question.
