    Most of those are unknown to the general public I reckon.

    Marcel Cerdan-Edith Piaf was the power couple though.

    Ohh that bring back me some memories. France is really great in the kickboxing, Muay Thai department, on par with the dutch mother****ers.
    LeBanner never won the K1 title though.

    When you get past the obvious giants, among the boxing nations, you run into France pretty quickly.
