    Lemieux is french Canadian ... Which mean he's Canadian not french. Hes from quebec and so are his parents. Idk where you got your info but theyre wrong about David. French Canadian isnt the same as french, and its way better also than those ***** from France ahahahahab

    The best "French" (meaning, let's be honest, white guy from France) fighter I've seen recently is Cedric Vitu. I don't know if he's top-10, but close. He's a good fighter, and he could give anyone at 154 a solid go. There was talk of him vs Canelo a year or so ago, but I guess it never happened.

    Are real French men even brave enough to get in the ring?

    I remember that one Frenchy that Virgil Hill beat twice. The name escapes me cause I'm pretty stoned.

    Fabrice Tiozzo.

    He was a bad mofo.

    Always came to fight.
    He gave Hill all he could handle in the first fight, but got caught cold in the second.

    Rigondeaux was the slave owner's name in Haiti not his natural African name.

    From also choosing a French first name and for his poetic boxing style, Rigo's embraced and should be considered part of the French artistic tradition.
