Gene Tunney - 1978) was the heavyweight boxing champion from 1926-28 who defeated Jack Dempsey in 1926 and 1927 and retired after winning against Tom Heeney in 1928. Perhaps Tunney's most famous moment as a boxer came as a result of something that happened to him, not his adversary: Fight number 2 with Dempsey, on September 26 of 1927, at Philadelphia, became known as The Long Count Fight. During round seven, Tunney was caught against the ropes and hit by a Dempsey combination, and he fell to the canvas, on a sitting position.
