Luther McCarty (March 20, 1892 – May 24, 1913) was a heavyweight boxer who is considered by most to be the greatest of all the "white hope" fighters who fought during the time of Jack Johnson.
McCarty, solidly built and agile, stood about 6'4", and used his 80" reach to throw his strong left jab to both his opponents head and body with equal accuracy.
Though he was at his best controlling the action from a distance, he also possessed a powerful right hand, a devastating left hook to the body, and a punishing uppercut that he would use when his opponents tried to fight him in close.
In addition to his physical strengths, McCarty also had a cool fighting style, never appearing in the ring too nervous or affected by his opponents.
