From a chequered career he appears to be the same level of performer as the above rated LaFontise, though besides meeting Stanley Ketchell twice later in his boxing lifetime he failed to get the big early fights.

This rating is speculative and not part of the database.
Here's another pick of McCarthy, along with a little writeup from the Salt Lake City Tribune - 08/03/02 - prior to his fight against "Chicago" Jack Daly. Daly was DQ'ed for repeated head butting in the contest.

I also have picks of Roy Condie and Tommy Markham. Markham won by KO in 7.
