    Johnny Buckley, Jack Sharkey's manager enlisted the aid of Sam Langford to give him an edge in the Harry Wills fight. The reasoning was Langford knew Wills better than anyone.Sam worked with Sharkey for several weeks leading up to the fight.Source Clay Moyle ,via his excellent book on Langford,
    " Sam Langford Boxing's Uncrowned Champion."
    Highly recommended!
