Boxing was important during the Great Depression because it gave the people something to have a passion about, it gave them something to believe in. One of the most famous boxers during the Great Depression was James J. Braddock. He started off at the top and then got hit really hard by the depression(excuse the pun). He made a come back and during his comeback gave the citizens something to believe in. Boxing was an inspiring event and got a lot of people through the Depression. I would highly recommend watching Cinderella Man. It is the story of James J. Braddock. (Warning: You may find yourself boxing as Braddock against his opponent in the end) :)
