MAX BAER was one of the most colourful and charismatic world heavyweight champions of all time. He was known, quite aptly, as the “Playboy of the Ring”. Baer became champion in 1934 after his victory against the Italian, Primo Carnera. He reigned for just one year, losing out to Jimmy Braddock in one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight history.
