Russell Crowe's Cinderella Man boxing costume on display...

In Ron Howard's 2005 movie based on a true story, Russell Crowe portrayed the supposedly washed-up prizefighter, 'James J. Braddock', in the Great Depression of early 1930's America, who came back against all the odds to become a boxing champion and inspiration of his generation.
