I don't think the public ever really had a chance to develop enthusiasm for Tunney. He left almost as soon as he took the title and retired with only 1 defense after Dempsey. His resume is pretty weak. I agree Dempsey's resume is weak too, he never had much interest in seriously defending his title, but what does Tunney have in his W column outside of Jack? Avenging his loss against Greb, who wasn't really even a light heavy? Carpentier that is also on Dempsey's? There's not much of note on it. Tunney is an interesting guy, Jack Cavanaugh's biography is really good but a little hagiographic. Kind of a shame he's mostly just a footnote today.
The Sport Kings is my favorite Tunney card.
