Yes, for instance Marcel Cerdan, Alphonse Halimi, a French Algerian, Eugene Criqui, Georges Carpentier, Marcel Pigou, Hipolyte Anex, Germinal Ballerin, Robert Villemain, and a few more in the lighter weights I can't just now recall, although the last 4 can be called "good" rather than great.
Another couple I recall; Cyril Delanoit, Armand Vanucci (a Corsican, I think)
Have there been any good French boxers?
