It's wrong anyway. McCarty did not target Johnson's opponents,nor did he do better against them except for Kaufman was was by then a spent force.
1913
Johnson won every round against Flynn until he police stopped the one sided affair in1912 ,he then tkod Flynn in11 rds in1913 McCarty won a dec over Flynn in1912.
McCarty beat Moran by dec in1913.Johnson did not fight Moran until1914.
McCarty drew with Willard over 10 rounds.
Thirty seven years old Johnson was well in front after 20 rounds with Willard, before exhaustion set in. Whilst in exile Johnson sent a wire to Tommy Burns offering to defend against McCarty in Canada for Burns.
Burns wanted no part of it.Last edited by Bronson66; 05-29-2025, 12:19 PM.

Luther McCarty Willing To Meet Johnson
White Champion Ready To Face The Black Title Holder
Johnson’s statement that he would fight Luther McCarty of Nebraska, white champion of the world, providing he could get permission from Judge Carpenter’s jurisdiction of the court…
Johnson’s proffer of a fight was immediately transmitted to Billy McCarney, manager of Luther McCarty, the white champion, who is training in Calgary, Alberta, for his match there on May 24, with Arthur Pelkey of New England, for the white heavyweight title.
“McCarty has signed for no battles after May 24…he would gladly declare everything except this Pelkey match off on the spot if assured a meeting with Johnson. Further, I want to say that right now McCarty is Johnson’s master, and would beat him sure.”
