Buster Keaton had a boxing style not un-like that of Carmen Basilio (IMOP)
but (threw his punched a little wider maybe and threw the very same combination(except for the left hook)

How about Harvey Parry? A superb stuntman who doubled for a hundred stars including Harold Loyd and Douglas Fairbanks

IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0663655/?re ... nm_1#actor

Parry was a legit AUU Lightweight Champion.

Harvey played the opponent in James Cagney's Winner Take All, and the opponent in A Star is Born (1937). He also staged the fight scenes for The Prize Fighter and the Lady (Max Baer).

Parry once claimed he stunted for everyone except Buster Keaton; he thought Keaton his superior, but only Keaton. For decades (and for many, even today) Hollywood PR dictated that Douglas Fairbanks and Harold Loyd got credit for stunts Harvey Parry actually performed.




A Star is Born Trailer: Parry appears in the last 30 seconds.
