		In so doing, Tunney broke the chain of champions that stretched back forty-six years, clearly to John L. Sullivan and some would argue much further in time to Tom Sayers, 1860.
		Tunney was to signal a transforming of the prize ring in many ways: Tunney was the first to win the Championship via a decision, the first to earn $1,000,000 for a single fight, and the one to break the chain of "the Man Who Beat the Man, Who Beat the Man, Who Beat John L.".1
