Luther McCarty won the inaugural World White Heavyweight Championship by stopping Al Palzer in 18 rounds at San Francisco on New Year's Day, 1913. Four months later, one minute and forty-five seconds into his first title defense against Arthur Pelkey in Calgary, McCarty died in the ring. I've been collecting McCarty photos and ephemera for 20 years. As far as I know, the Romeo y Julieta Cuban issue is his only card ...

Along with Luther McCarty, my all-time favorite fighter is Canadian heavyweight contender George Chuvalo, who was ranked in the world's top ten for 12 consecutive years (1964-76) and is the only man to face Ali (twice), Frazier and Foreman. Chuvalo headlined at MSG nine times, and my collection of 40 of his onsite posters includes the bouts with Pat McMurtry, Floyd Patterson (1965's Fight of the Year), Oscar Bonavena, Jerry Quarry, George Foreman and Manuel Ramos. I also have the ulta-rare pennant from his 1966 title fight with Ali at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, onsite programs from 44 of his 93 fights, tickets and press passes from 27, and 10 signed contracts which George gifted to me when we collaborated on his 2013 autobiography: "Chuvalo: A Fighter's Life", published by Harper-Collins ...

Since I'm from Arkansas I'm kind of biased towards Sonny Liston. I actually drove the Marine Corps boxing team around for a few days in 1975 while they participated in the US National Championships (I was a young Sgt stationed in Shreveport at the time). LCpl Leon Spinks was on the team and won the Championship match. To celebrate, the coach had me stop at a Liqour store and bought him a 5th of wine. Unfortunately, I don't have a card of his, but I do of Sonny.
